Shop NYC Top

My wife and three friends went to a bar in the neighborhood and they all sat at a table for drinks. Granted the table did have waiter service but they just had drinks no food. Additional context is this is a bar with a very small food menu – mostly bar snacks- so it wasn’t as if they were keeping a table occupied. One friend offered to pay for everyone and she tipped 15%. As they got up to leave the waiter confronted her and asked her “what was wrong with the service for such a small tip.” Outrageous in my opinion.

I am still in the era of tipping $1 per drink. But I guess that was the protocol 10 years ago and not today.

So was this waiter being an asshole or were we being an assholes?
