We actually had a very bad experience last year regarding tipping and i must admit even now it's quite hard to talk about it
We were over to close on our villa and surprise surprise the minute we landed our realator told us he had been trying to contact us but we had been our way over as the mortgage company had now decided at the 11th hour that they needed more documentation
We spent nearly all day trying to get the info they needed but had to wait another day to see if we had been succesful, so didn't even know if we could go ahead and close
Our furniture company then informed us that the living room furniture we had ordered 11mths prior hadn't been ordered[msnsad]
To say we were all down that night is an understatement
Anyway we all went out for a meal and the table next to us gave a very large tip, we know this as the waitress made a big deal of it
We paid our bill gave what we thought was a fair tip, the service had been good, but the waitress approached us and said she felt she should give it back
We assumed she didn't think it was enough and i must admit feeling tearful
It was just the perfect ending to a perfect day, not!!
The upside was we did close, although a few days late, and we did manage to get furniture but the episode has left us all very confused and if i admit it quite mad on reflection
