I couldn't believe it, he wanted $150 for a few minutes with us, really?? no offence to him, he was very good, but he was serving food not defending us in court!!
What was your dads response ?

My Grans friend was in the states a couple of years ago ( 80 something year old woman ) and did not tip purely because she did not know it was 'how things are done'. The waiter accosted her infront of the entire restaurant - belittling her until she handed over money.
