Furious waitress slams tourists for leaving 10% tip on £569 bill after great service

A furious American waitress has criticised holidaymakers for leaving what they believed to be an insufficient tip after the diners claimed to be "over the moon" about the service they received. The worker explained how they left a $70 (£56.96) tip on top of a $700 (£569.76) bill - which is half the amount she was expecting to be given from her table.

Taking to Twitter to share her frustration, she wrote: "This table just left $70 on a $700 check after chilling for hours. My manager even asked about their service and they were over the moon about my service so he explained the customary tip is 20 per cent and they were like 'OK' and left."

She added: "Oh God I already know that this is going to get the most insufferable 'tipping isn't mandatory, just get a new job or magically change the laws overnight, I am such a genius to say this' type of replies". Her predictions were correct as her tweet stirred up some controversy online.
