🍽️ I went to Denny’s, ate my food, paid the bill… and still had the server hovering like I was supposed to add something extra on top of it. 😅💭
At that point, it wasn’t even about the meal anymore — it was the feeling that the transaction wasn’t really “done” until an extra tip was added, even after everything was already paid for. 🧾
So I wrote that note right there in the moment, just trying to make sense of the whole interaction before I even left the table. 🤔✍️
It really makes you think about how expectations around tipping have shifted, and where the line is between appreciation and pressure. 💸
So be honest — have you ever felt that awkward “am I supposed to tip more?” moment after already paying the bill? 👀
