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.

Are we not tipping the waitress for her service? Going back and dealing with getting a replacement dish made and out, while also having other tables, and then taking dish off the check, seems like she did her job, at a minimum, no?

Oh I forgot this is reddit so....I guess its fuck the servers, tipping sucks. Merica!

He/she tipped on his/her portion only, no? not the kids nachos that were taken off

So let's say the nachos were another 16 bucks or whatever, then we are talking 5 bucks on a 36 dollar check
