My husband and I went to a fancy restaurant for our anniversary, but it was loud, chaotic, and the service was terrible. We waited ages, got rude treatment, and the food was bad. When we politely complained, nothing was fixed.
The bill was $250, and I chose not to tip. The waitress reacted angrily and loudly called us “cheapskates,” humiliating us in front of others.
We left upset. For me, it wasn’t about money—it was about not rewarding bad service and disrespect.
