Tip or No Tip? The Secret Tricks of Waitress Raquel Who Forces Guests to Leave Money
Welcome to the world where waiters don’t just serve food—they manipulate your wallet! Did you know that tipping in Balkan restaurants and cafes has become almost mandatory? But what if we told you there’s a Spanish waitress named Raquel who revealed a genius, yet sneaky trick to almost invisibly make you leave a tip?
How Does Raquel Make Guests Tip?
Raquel, known on TikTok as “la hostelera cabreada” or “the angry waitress,” revealed that she never returns one-euro or 50-cent coins. Instead, guests get a bunch of small change. Most people hate carrying all that loose change, so they just leave it with the waiter as a tip. Genius, right?
Public Reactions: Divided Opinions
Of course, this trick didn’t go without criticism. Many believe tipping is unnecessary because waiters already get paid. “I never tip. It’s their job,” writes one TikTok user. Others say they expect good food, not kindness, as a reason to tip.
On the other hand, some waiters say the real trick is simple—good service. “Here, guests leave every cent; it’s a custom,” says one waiter. But some find other ways to avoid leaving money on the table, like paying by card. Raquel tells them they can tip by card too.
Guests Complain but Also Praise
Some guests complained they were given back only one two-euro coin, which prevented them from leaving a tip. “I wanted to tip, but they gave me no choice,” says one woman. Another adds she gets angry when given change in coins instead of bills—because, of course, no tip will come.
Still, some praise their experiences and leave tips of ten euros. Raquel congratulates them and says they must be very kind to deserve that.
Conclusion: Is Tipping Mandatory or Manipulation?
This story reveals how complicated and sometimes uncomfortable tipping has become. Is it just a custom or a clever tactic by waiters to squeeze extra money out of you? Raquel proved that even in seemingly harmless things, tricks can surprise you.
