In many parts of the world, tipping is a nice bonus for great service. In the U.S., it’s how servers make a living. Skipping the tip, or even leaving just a small one, can feel like an insult.
That’s why a waitress on TikTok recently spoke out after serving a $250 bill and receiving barely anything in return. She explained that while she’s thankful for whatever she gets, she still believes a 20% tip is fair.
Her post quickly went viral, sparking a wave of mixed reactions. Some called her expectations unreasonable. Others argued that if you can’t afford to tip, you shouldn’t be eating out in the first place.
Read her story below and tell us where you stand.
