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.
When the check arrived, Amelia left a $10 tip on an $85 bill. The waitress picked up the money and sneered, “Ten bucks? This isn’t the 1950s anymore, you know.” Amelia was stunned by her condescending tone. “I think 10 bucks on an $85 bill is more than fair,” she responded.The waitress rolled her eyes and retorted, “It’s a standard 20% tip these days, cheapskate. Do you not know how to calculate that?” Amelia, now angry, replied, “With that kind of nasty attitude, you don’t deserve a tip at all!” 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’s behavior was unacceptable.Amelia shared her thoughts, “That $10 was over 11%, which is a decent tip by any measure. Her entitlement really rubbed me the wrong way.” The waitress’s 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’s attitude? The debate continues as others weigh in on how to navigate such situations without escalating the conflict.
Old men sitting on a bench…We’ve chuckled with tears with this joke…
We can never get tired of good jokes and this one will definitely make your day.
Two elderly gentlemen are sitting on a bench at the park when a young, smoking hot girl runs past in a sports bra and a tiny pair of shorts.
One of the men smiles and the girls approaches them. “Why are you staring at me and grinning, you pervert?” she says.
The old man sweetly replies “My dear I’m not smiling at you, I’m smiling at the thought that no matter how bad the world gets, there will always be young, pretty girls in the summer to cheer up a lonely old man.”
The girl replies “awwwww you sweet old man” leans in and gives him a kiss on the cheek and jogs on.The old man turns to his friend and says “3 to zip Mugley, your turn.”
This joke is yet another proof that the elderly, having been part of this world for many years, are often wiser than the rest of us.
