Our reader Amelia shared a recent dining experience that raises important questions about tipping etiquette, customer service, and handling conflicts.She and her husband went to a nice restaurant to celebrate his promotion. After leaving a $10 tip on an $85 bill, the waitress rudely commented, “Ten bucks? This isn’t the 1950s anymore.”
Annoyed by the waitress’s condescending attitude, Amelia decided to take back the tip, leading to a heated confrontation. The manager eventually removed the waitress, and they left without tipping.Amelia admits she may have overreacted but feels the waitress’s behavior was unacceptable. What do you think?
