It’s really uncomfortable to think about how that waitress approached Evelyn. I mean, stopping someone mid-
stream to question them about a tip? It just feels wrong to me. It’s as if there’s this expectation that everyone has to justify their choices, especially when it comes to money. A $5 tip on a $250 bill might raise some eyebrows, sure, but why confront someone like that?
It’s almost like she crossed a line, stepping into a space that should be personal. Even if you think someone should tip more, the way she did it was out of line. There’s a difference between feeling disappointed and actually confronting someone about it in a very public way. That’s just an awkward moment waiting to happen, and it’s not fair to put someone on the spot like that, especially on a live stream where others are watching.
It’s one thing to feel upset about a tip; it’s entirely another to confront someone about it in front of others. It just seems to highlight a pattern where people feel entitled to question others about their financial choices. Maybe it’s about deeper issues regarding service and expectations, but it just didn’t sit well with me. It feels like a breach of some unspoken rule about boundaries.
And seeing that unfolds makes you wonder about how often people feel pressured to be generous or to defend themselves over something that should remain a personal choice. I don’t know. There’s something unsettling about making someone feel bad for how they tip. It feels misplaced, like the focus should be on providing good service instead of policing how much someone leaves behind. It leaves a bad taste, doesn’t it?
