The customer is blown up by the Internet to bring their own tea bag to a restaurant for health reasons

A Reddit user leads to a conversation about bringing food to restaurants after revealing that they brought their own tea bag to a restaurant and were asked not to.

Tuesday, April 22, the anonymous Internet user shared the platform Aita Forum That they went out to eat with their mother in Los Angeles, because they each ordered a hot cup of water and a lemon.

The Reddit user, who had a “light sore throat”, brought bags with a “specific healing tea” with them to the restaurant and started drinking tea when their meal arrived. As a result, the site’s wait began to “circulate our table and stare at us throughout our meal” before asked them about the tea at the end of the meal.

“She said,“ You can’t really do it. “I said,” It’s a specific type of tea for my health, “told the Reddit user.” She said, “It doesn’t matter. We have tea here. Next time we have to charge you for the warm water.” I said, “You don’t have this specific tea.” She said: “It doesn’t matter.

After the customer’s interaction with the staff, they wrote that they were “surprised” because they “never been to a place that charges for hot water.”

“The wait continued to stare at us and started circling our table. Then, without asking if we were done, the waitress took the control to the table,” wrote the Reddit user. “I planned to order a mango sticky rice, but did not get the chance because she had taken control. Because of this experience, when we left, I did not leave a tip. I felt very unwelcome and difficult with staring.”

The Reddit user – who claimed that the lack of tipping “did not have to do with the rule” – also claimed that the restaurant “had no other pronounced policy to keep their own tea” and called the staff’s approach “hostile and unprofessional with staring, circling and prevention.”

Still, the original poster friend claimed that they were wrong, not only to bring tea, but also have “stiffened the server for no good reasons.”

“Not tipping had nothing to do with the rule of tea, which I accepted,” the Reddit user wrote in an update. “I usually tip 20% minimum because I know that servers are having a hard time. I pulled the line on how the wait started to stare, circled our table and hover over us even after we had the discussion. They continued to look between us and the door. I thought this was hostile.”

Despite how they may have perceived the situation, the general consensus according to their post was that the customer was really an “A ——” for taking their own tea and refusing tips.

“The restaurant’s source of income is to sell product. You would never go into a bar with your own sex package claiming they don’t have that kind of beer,” reading the most wiped answer. “Just because they were ok to give you free hot water and lemon, it doesn’t mean you should bring your chicken noodle package, which they don’t sell. So it was an AH movement that not only you and your mom did this, and then at the top of theirs makes you an advantage to bring hot water and lemon, do you decide to say.

Another user added that if the original poster would be ill, “the restaurant could be responsible even if it was her own stupid tea.”

“If there is always a restaurant asks,” wrote another Reddit commentator. “They don’t know what it was in your tea bags and had only your word for it. Someone else who was previously published about bringing a little muffin, rules for every restaurant is I can eat or drink what I brought with me from the outside? And if you wanted something else you could have ordered it.”

“It sometimes happens to me, I always say” hello I wanted to order one more thing “and they whip it away. For me they did nothing so as not to guarantee a tip,” the person added. “At least I will say that you were all civilian for each other, but it seemed as if you were waiting for an excuse for not tipping them because you were upset by the former comment of those who told you outside of tea bags. At least they didn’t empty it or anything.”

After reviewing the comments, the original poster wrote that they “might be able to accept a” you are the A-hole “on the tea, but not for the tipping because the subsequent behavior of the waiting law removed from the meal.”

“In the future, I could consider a minor tip rather than no one,” they wrote. “Thanks everyone who has commented so far!”
