Amelia and her husband celebrated his promotion at a nice restaurant, but the night soured when their waitress rudely criticized their $10 tip on an $85 bill, sneering, “This isn’t the 1950s.” Shocked by her harsh tone and entitled attitude, Amelia retorted that 11% was fair. The waitress scoffed, demanding a 20% standard tip and
calling Amelia a cheapskate. Infuriated by the disrespect, Amelia took a stand, likely escalating the situation. Some criticized her for not ignoring the insult, but she felt justified in confronting the waitress’s arrogance. The incident sparked debate about tipping norms and handling poor customer service.
