One person wrote: “ZERO to do with “being broke” some waiters are just plain rude for no reason & those “I’m a waitress and we match energies” don’t speak for everyone.”
“Why would she tip if the server was rude? These comments are insane, you cant act however you want and expect a tip. DO BETTER,” another person said.
Someone else replied: “I was a server.. and if a server does a terrible job no I will not tip. This is coming from a FORMER SERVER.”
“Y’all don’t even know what she experienced so how are you gonna make judgements about it,” a fourth person commented.
