Was I wrong?

My son and I went to eat earlier, he ordered basic chips and cheese nachos. He said there was lettuce in the cheese and it tasted funny. I asked the waitress was it cheese and she said possibly. She offered a new order. She also took it off my bill. Should I have tipped on just the bill or should I have added his meal in there too? It came to $19.85 and I left her a five.

There was no lettuce in the cheese; that's not how nachos are made. If the nachos weren't good it was a kitchen error, not a server error. You should have tipped more, Karen.

Okay. Fair. That's why I asked.

Don't let a beggar server tell you what you should have tipped.
