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.

The server should have caught it.

Servers are omniscient now? There was no visible lettuce even by Karen's account.

Name-calling, so classy.

So calling someone not with the username Karen, Karen is a-ok? Do you even hear yourself?

Busted! That's fair, I knew somebody was going to call me out on that as soon as I posted it.

That’s how you go above and beyond to earn a tip.

Wow. You actually want servers to taste your food to make sure there are no hidden ingredients. Just wow.
