Cafe sues customer for tipping waitress $3,000 and demanding it back
A restaurant in Pennsylvania, in the United States, is suing a diner at more than $3,000. This is due to the fact that the customer initially left a substantial tip for a waitress working at the restaurant but asked for a refund later.
The waitress, Mariana Lambert, was thrilled to get a tip of several thousand dollars from the customer, Eric Smith, for her work at Alfredo’s Pizza Cafe. The incident had happened in June, according to international news reports.
Managers were initially skeptical, but the credit card transaction was successful. Mr Smith said that a social media campaign titled ‘Tips for Jesus’ inspired him to leave the generous tip.
It genuinely meant a lot to Ms Lambert despite being deeply moved, she was still in disbelief. Her joy, however, did not last long because Mr Smith challenged the charged tip with his credit card provider.
When they learned of the dispute with the credit company, the restaurant assumed it was a miscommunication because Ms Lambert had already received the large sum by that point.
The restaurant manager, Zachary Jacobson, made several attempts to contact Mr Smith via Facebook but was unsuccessful. As a result, the manager filed charges with the magistrate’s office, labelling the entire incident as “aggravating.”
Mr Jacobson at Alfredo’s Cafe is hoping they will win the court battle and won’t be asked to pay the $3,000 back. — ndtv.com
Dear Obaa Yaa,
I AM in love with Adwoa, a 25-year-old banker. She has a 10-month old daughter and I am not perturbed about that. She said the father of the child broke up with her even before the child was born. I loved her even before I knew she had a child, and when she told me she had a baby, it didn’t change anything. Love was still love, and care still flowed between us.
I spent some nights with her, and the behaviour of her baby makes me feel like there’s another man she knows. She cries when I pick her up.
The same thing happens when she wakes up and sees me in bed with her mother. I’m not comfortable with the way that baby looks at me. It’s as though there’s someone else looking at me through her eyes. She doesn’t blink an eye. She looks at me as if I’m not the one she’s expecting to see. Is this normal?
Papa, Swedru.
Dear Papa,
IT’S understandable you’re feeling a bit uneasy about the baby’s behaviour. Given the situation, it’s likely the baby is just picking up on your energy or adjusting to a new face.
Ten-month-old can be particular about strangers. Try engaging with her more during calm moments, like playtime or when she is fed. Build a bond through activities she enjoys and have an open chat with your girlfriend about how you’re feeling; she might notice things you’ve missed. The intense staring could be curiosity; babies are like that sometimes. Take it easy, and don’t overthink it.

A man who bed-wets went to see a psychiatrist…
Psychiatrist: Does a dream usually precede your bed-wetting?
Man: Yes.
Psychiatrist: Tell me how it happens.
Man: A little demon appears to me in my sleep and says, “Hey… Let us pee.” Then, I wake up to see the bed wet with my urine.
Psychiatrist: This is what you must do. If the demon comes tonight and tells you “let us pee”, just reply him that you have already peed.
The man left and returned the following day with tears streaming down his face.
Psychiatrist: Why are you weeping? Didn’t my therapy work?
Man: You have worsened my case!
Psychiatrist: What? How?
Man: When the demon came, I told him I’d already peed. Then he said, “OK, let us sh*t.”
