My nephew gave his name and seating size, myself and my handicapped mother arrived finally after my nephew talked to the greeter we were seated. I not knowing of the former conversation between the older lady at the door seating customers was the owners mother. She argued with my nephew about his party not all being here yet and refused to set him at first this was the part of the conversation that went on at the register in front of other customers, after we were seated the managers mother didn't leave things alone she quickly approached our table snapping at my nephew saying where is the rest of your party?!!! She then went on in a rude tone where are they? You said they were here!! Which was myself and my mother, my nephew started to talk and she jumped in again saying you see!! You see what I mean !

When she hands me my card she asked if I want a receipt I said no thank you and put my card back in my wallet but before I do she said “you gonna tip”. I said “what are you serious?” But she did not ask the people before us at all so why us? She said “yeah it’s just the electricity is going up.” I’m sorry but electricity is everywhere and I pay that too.

Jenifer costed that server her full tip of 15$ I was going to tip on a 55$ breakfast for 2 people, I tipped 4$ feeling like that in front of several people I let her know that was rude and told her to still...
