Customer blames server for trying to scam them for a tip after server failed to bring back their $40 change, server claims it was not his intention: ‘He was so confused’

Who doesn't love the awkwardness a server and a customer have to deal with while the customer must decide how much of a tip they plan on leaving, while the server is just standing there and patiently waiting to see what the verdict is?

It's almost hard to decide who has it worse–the server or the customer. As a server, you don't want to appear desperate or mean, and as the customer, you don't want to appear ungrateful or have a 16-year-old kid blame you for being cheap.

However awkward a normal interaction between the two is, the one in the story below is unmatched. When the customer handed their young server a $100 bill to pay for their $60 meal, they expected the server to return with the $40 change. Except he didn't, which forced the customer to search for the server and ask for the change themselves. That request confused the server, who made it seem like he was expecting the $40 to be his tip.
