Diner’s Dilemma: To Tip or Not to Tip?

After a pleasant meal at a local Chinese restaurant, a diner found himself in a pickle. He had left a generous tip of over 15% only to be confronted by the waitress, asking for more. Stunned and frustrated, he took back the tip and left without a word, leaving the waitress speechless. Now, he’s wondering if he did the right thing. Was his reaction justified? Or should he have given in and left a larger tip? This unexpected dining drama has left him, and us, pondering over the etiquette of tipping. Let’s see what the internet thinks of this situation…

“NTA. This is why I can’t stand America’s hospitality industry. You’re forced to have to live off tips if you’re staff because it’s legal for your workplace to underpay you, and feel obliged to have to tip if you’re a customer because otherwise you feel guilty. The fact is it’s not your fault she has to rely on tips, and it’s also not your fault that the quality of her service meant you were interacted with at all throughout your visit. Some people will tell you that you were wrong for under-tipping and that 20% is what you should’ve done, and yes i agree that it’s nice to tip well for good service, but you tipped what you wanted to and she chose to argue it despite still getting tipped.”

NTA for reducing tip. Debate over tipping amount and entitlement.

NTA. 15% makes sense, especially when it is easier to throw down a $5 bill (Canadian) to make paying easier. Plus, the difference between a 15% tip and 20% tip in your case was a dollar, so I’m not sure how much more she expected?
