Amelia (30F) shared a recent dining experience that highlights the complexities of tipping and customer service. She and her husband (30M) went to a restaurant to celebrate his promotion, and everything went well until the end.\n
When the check arrived, Amelia left a $10 tip on an $85 bill. The waitress picked up the money and sneered, \u201cTen bucks? This isn\u2019t the 1950s anymore, you know.\u201d Amelia was stunned by her condescending tone. \u201cI think 10 bucks on an $85 bill is more than fair,\u201d she responded.\n
The waitress rolled her eyes and retorted, \u201cIt\u2019s a standard 20% tip these days, cheapskate. Do you not know how to calculate that?\u201d Amelia, now angry, replied, \u201cWith that kind of nasty attitude, you don\u2019t deserve a tip at all!\u201d She then took back the $10 bill.The situation escalated as the waitress began loudly berating Amelia, causing a scene. The manager had to remove the waitress, and Amelia and her husband left without leaving a tip. Amelia admits she might have overreacted but feels the waitress\u2019s behavior was unacceptable.\n
Amelia shared her thoughts, \u201cThat $10 was over 11%, which is a decent tip by any measure. Her entitlement really rubbed me the wrong way.\u201d The waitress\u2019s public confrontation left the couple embarrassed and upset, overshadowing their celebratory evening.This incident raises important questions about tipping etiquette and handling conflict in service situations. Should Amelia have maintained her composure, or was her reaction justified given the waitress\u2019s attitude? The debate continues as others weigh in on how to navigate such situations without escalating the conflict.\n
