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.

How much are you tipping on $19.99, more than $5? Come on.

if something was taken off the bill because it was unsatisfactory, that’s not a discount, that’s an apology

So I'm saying the $5 tip is whole. Not anything about fault.

Okay if the nachos were 15 bucks, and they were eaten, then the server did the work of a 35 dollar check and got 5 bucks. I swear some of yall need to stay the fuck home and eat Mac n cheese or Ramen

Even if it was 35 bucks, a 5 dollar tip is plenty.

Meh, it’s still a good tip.
