“The bill was around $500. She paid and tipped me $200.”

I'm an Associate Editor on BuzzFeed's Pop Culture team who spends my days fangirling over all my favorite TV shows and movies.

The people who shared their stories allegedly speak from personal encounters. Obviously, we weren't there when they happened, so feel free to take them with a grain of salt.

"I heard from a friend who had waited on him at a different restaurant that that was standard for him. It was so disappointing."

"It ruined that server’s whole morning, since that was basically the only table they had, and they should have made $200 on it."
