Young Waiter Refuses GH₵3 Tip, Netizens Drag Customer: “It’s an Insult”
- Two customers went to one restaurant and had a meal worth over GH₵300 but tipped their waiter GH₵3
- In the TikTok video, one of the people narrates what happened and felt like they did not need to tip the person
- The online community shared their thoughts, with many disagreeing with the two and applauding the waiter
A duo took to TikTok to share their experience at one of the restaurants in Cape Town.
In the video uploaded by @qiqqa16, one person says they tipped a waiter R5, but he refused. The person continued to say that the bill was R480, but they had nothing to give the waiter except the R5.
The duo felt like the person serving them was acting weird for returning the coins, and they continued to say that tipping a waiter is not something one is obligated to do.

"10% Tip is standard, it's 2024, why visit fancy restaurants if you cannot even provide a minimum required tip. That's just my 2 cents."

"I’m a waiter I’d also give you back your 5 rand Dali."
@Iktylmkmwyec said:
"You’re wrong. R5? That’s nothing."
