@iqrafatma1278 As a former server, i would have been pleased with your tip. It was generous.
I do NOT understand the current phase of pushing 50% tipping. Or comments like that one.
My wife and I went out to dinner last night, and I’m still a little confused by what happened. 😅🍽️
Our bill was about $70, and we left a $20 tip. In my mind, that seemed more than fair. It wasn’t meant to be cheap or disrespectful — we paid the bill, left what we thought was a good tip, and were ready to go.
But the waiter seemed unhappy and made a comment that if we weren’t willing to tip more, we shouldn’t be dining out.
That honestly surprised me.
A $20 tip on a $70 bill is close to 30%, so I didn’t think we had done anything wrong.
I completely understand that servers work hard, and I know tips are an important part of their income. But when a customer leaves what feels like a generous tip and still gets made to feel like it isn’t enough, it makes the whole tipping conversation feel even more uncomfortable.
Tipping used to feel like a thank-you for good service. Now it sometimes feels like there’s a number people are expected to hit, and anything below that can cause tension.
It feels like everyone is frustrated — customers feel pressured, servers feel undervalued, and the system puts both sides in an awkward position.
So I’m genuinely curious: was $20 on a $70 bill unreasonable, or have tipping expectations changed that much?
Would you have been surprised too?

@Jamesjonesik8 1. Trump was busy saving the world.
2. Trump would have spoken his mind on the building & possibly the performance of this quartet & these guys could not afford it
Four presidents. One historic reunion at the Obama Library. But one very noticeable absence. First time a sitting President was left out of a predecessor's library opening.
Trump or not — what do YOU think?🤔
I know BBQ isn’t cheap anymore, but this receipt would’ve had me staring at the table in silence.
We got ribs, brisket, mac and cheese, and two large sodas. The food itself was $42.50. Not great, but whatever. Then somehow Sauce Boss BBQ turned it into $84.98 before tip.
I started reading the extra charges and it just kept getting worse. Local dining tax, prepared food assessment, take-a-seat tax, restaurant support tax, napkin usage fee, straw opening fee, table wiping fee… at some point it feels like I’m being charged for simply existing in the building.
But the ranch breathing fee is what would’ve done it for me.
RANCH BREATHING FEE??
Was I breathing too close to the sauce bottle? Did Kyle notice me enjoying my food too much and add $3.25? And then there’s a $14.99 final bill preparation fee, which sounds like they charged me extra just to print the receipt that ruined my mood.
The handwritten “QUIT COMPLAINING” at the bottom is actually insane. Would you just pay and leave, or are you asking for the manager right then and there?

What’s your response to this ??
“I don’t know who I can trust anymore.”
A woman at a dog park says she’s scanning strangers, wondering who’s “on her side” and who isn’t.

@WHLeavitt This is (supposedly) happening in another country.
Their way of life is ancient. Their religion is ancient.
It is not for any American to judge, disparage, or disdain.
If they want to bring this to our country, we get a voice, but not until then.
