This dining experience turned terrible due to the server's attitude, leaving me in emotional distress and completely ruining my day.
The bill was €14.8, and I gave a €2 tip, paying with a €50 note. When she gave me €35 in change, because of the dim light ,I mistakenly thought one €5 note was from my own wallet and waited for her to give the remaining €5.
