Amelia (30F) and her husband (30M) went to a restaurant to celebrate his promotion. She tipped $10 on an $85 bill, but the waitress rudely remarked, “Ten bucks? This isn’t the 1950s anymore.” Shocked by the arrogance, Amelia argued that $10 (over 11%) was fair, while the waitress demanded a 20% tip. Amelia admits she may have overreacted but felt the waitress’s entitlement was out of line. Opinions are split—should she have ignored it or was her reaction justified?
Let’s Get Real: The waitress’s tantrum was straight out of a bad reality TV script, and Amelia’s retaliation was a dramatic stand against disrespect. Some say she could’ve taken the high road, but why not go out in a blaze of glory instead?
