I took my dad out for dinner for his birthday. At the end of the meal, I got the (male) waiter’s attention and asked for the bill. He returned to the table and presented the bill straight to my dad, then came back and offered the card reader to him too – after I asked to pay by card. My dad told him it was presumptuous to assume he was paying when it wasn’t even him who asked for the bill – he just laughed, and I didn’t leave a tip.
