Controversial tip in Puebla: they consumed $ 2,000 and left $ 7 for the waiter

After a day’s work, a restaurant waiter “Your Carbon”, located at San Andrés Cholula, Puebla, served a table of diners whose consumption was two thousand 193 pesos (VAT already included).

Therefore, and based on the Mexican custom of offering a tip in recognition of a restaurant’s good work and service, the worker would have expected to receive a juicy bonus which would be around the 200 pesos, about.

However, what would be your surprise when the diners only left seven pesos (a piece of five and another of two) as a tip. This is how the photo of the banknote with the money was shared on social networks, where some internet users showed themselves unworthy before the act.

“The more they have, the more unhappy they are!”wrote a user.

“It’s not fair”, “It’s small”others expressed.

But, on the other hand, there were people who justified the actions of customers, because they remembered that this service It is not mandatory, therefore any guest has the right or not to tip. In addition, they demanded that the case not be tried lightly as it was not known whether the waiter offered a good deal or even if customers they did not have enough money leave a larger amount.

“No one is required to tip. The dinner could have been a little generous, but it is not an obligation ”, said a surfer.

“The treatment of the customer is what determines the tip (…) Something should have been done so that the customer only leaves this tip”, another thought.

“The guest should have brought only one card and didn’t want the tip charged there and he only brought cash, or the waiter was not at all nice and they got him punished in this way “, I’m asking another user.

While in Mexico tip is not compulsory, the Federal Consumer Prosecutor’s Office (Profeco) recommends leaving between 10% and 15% of the total consumption as a tip, in case the guest considers it as such.
