Amelia recently shared her frustrating restaurant experience, raising important questions about tipping etiquette and the quality of customer service today. What was supposed to be a celebratory dinner for her husband’s promotion turned sour due to an encounter with a rude waitress. After enjoying their meal, Amelia left a $10 tip on an $85 bill. However, the waitress responded with a sneer, saying, “Ten bucks? This isn’t the 1950s anymore.” Taken aback by the blatant disrespect, Amelia defended her choice, asserting, “I think ten bucks on an $85 bill is more than fair.”
The situation escalated as the waitress rolled her eyes and sarcastically called Amelia a “cheapskate.” That was the final straw for Amelia.
