We see each other at parties and say hi. That’s the entire extent of our relationship. Recently went out to dinner where he was my server. Dude was a shit server. Got my order wrong, never checked on the table, refilled waters, and was busy mingling and taking shots with another table of people that he knew.

The bill was $160 and I gave him $16. You don’t automatically get 20% just because I know you, I’m also not expecting you go above and beyond. Just do your job correctly. And to go around telling others that I’m cheap who then brought it back up to me - fuck off.

Edit: This happened in the US.
