'The lady came back an hour later, asking for her $200 tip back' : Server baffled at Karen customer's strange breach of etiquette

Does it seem strange that it's considered rude to ask for a gift back? Not at all, because that is more or less the social norms we grew up on. The same goes for tipping a server at a restaurant, it's simply unheard of to demand the money you gave them back. It happens occasionally, but boy are you gonna get a lot of stink eye for it. This server took to r/TalesFromYourServer to share/complain about something strange and annoying that occurred to her during a work shift. 

Apparently, a customer had given her a very generous $200 tip, only to reclaim it barely an hour later. Confused, she shared it with fellow servers and Redditors. The comment section was full of people who have gone through something similar, and a few even offered some advice for the next time this could potentially happen. Scroll down to read the full, detailed account of events.

While we're on the topic of infuriating customers in the service industry, check out this hideously rude customer who took his own frustration out on a poor, undeserving server.
