While some argue America's tipping culture is 'out of control', others rely on it to put food on their tables and keep a roof over their heads. That's exactly why one waiter made a comment to customers who don't leave him the recommended 10 to 20 per cent tip.
He explained how he went out of his way to provide his table with 'top' service - only for them to walk out without 'thanking' him by leaving him a few dollars. Taking to Reddit, he said: "Two men came in for dine in. Their meal goes smoothly and I box up their leftovers.
"As I’m dropping off the check, I ask, 'How was everything tonight?'. One of them says, 'The duck was a bit dry.' To which I respond, 'I’m sorry to hear that — I’ll let the chef know.' Naturally I would have liked to have given a discount at the very least, but my manager was busy and they were anxious to leave.
