Mom sparks debate after sending son back to restaurant to increase his $10 tip TIKTOK: d.foster.presidentA mom has sparked a debate on TikTok, after making her son go back to a restaurant to tip more than $10. In a viral clip with 2.2 million views, Danielle Foster explained via text overlay that her teenage son had been out on his first date, and under-tipped on a $100 check. \u201cWhen my son goes on his first date\u2026and goes mom the service is good,\u201d a text overlay on the video read. \u201cIt was a $104 check and he said he tipped him a lot of money. $10.00. Yes he\u2019s on the way back to the restaurant.\u201d The video begins with her calling her son into her room, before urging him to get her wallet and bring her debit card to the ATM, so that he could take out $20 and bring it to the restaurant. \u201cYou need to go get my wallet, you need to go get my Visa card, you need to go to the ATM, and you need to go grab $20 and drive your a** back to that restaurant, because on a $104 cheque, $10 is a sh***y tip,\u201d she told him. \u201cDo you understand me? Go now. I\u2019m not asking, I\u2019m telling.\u201d She continued: \u201cDo you know that that guy might have kids? Do you know that $104, he gets taxed on it? You are to go grab my credit card, get $20 and drive it back there.\u201d Danielle then informed her son that she wanted to see him hand the money to the restaurant employee via FaceTime, before concluding: \u201cYou don\u2019t know how to tip!\u201d TikTok reacts to mom sending son back to tip more The mom\u2019s lesson to her son about tipping sparked mixed reactions, with some viewers criticizing her. \u201cImagine publicly shaming your kid for likes because he left what is socially acceptable as a tip,\u201d one TikTok user commented. \u201cWe need to normalize not tipping. I will never tip,\u201d another wrote. \u201cI completely understand this whole thing\u2026 but is the yelling\/screaming necessary?\u201d a third added. Others praised Danielle for teaching her son about the importance of tipping in the service industry. \u201cGood job Mama! I have talked to my kids in detail about how they better tip good when they start going out,\u201d one said. \u201cGreat parenting! Every parent should teach this as a former server!\u201d another shared. This is just the latest tipping-related moment to take off on TikTok. Earlier this month, a DoorDash driver left viewers divided after throwing a customer\u2019s food on the floor because they didn\u2019t leave a tip.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
