What happens when a touristy family dinner turns into a drama over a simple photo request?

One wife’s zero-tolerance policy led to a zero-dollar tip, and when her husband suggested she overreacted, let’s just say things got awkward fast.

Read on for the story.

AITA For Telling My Wife Her Reaction To A Waitress Not Taking A Picture Was OTT?

I (37M) met my sister in commonly visited city a few weekends back.

My wife (37F) came with me and my two kids 8F and 6M.

The restaurant was nice, and she asked the waitress to take all of us a picture and she said “that’s not part of the job” and walked away.

Oh, all right.

I offered to take the picture instead but she wanted all of us to be in it so whatever.

When the bill came, she snatched it and made sure to put 0 tip over the picture.

That’ll show him.

I would have tipped her cash, but my wife would have told the waitress to give it back, and I didn’t want to embarrass her like that.

Anyways, when we were driving back to our hotel, I told her that I thought tipping zero was a bit mean.

I mean, me personally I would have just taken the picture, but I guess in the job description nowhere did it say “take pictures for customers.”

Absurd.

I also said her reaction was a bit over the top.

She said that if she didn’t want to do stuff like that, working at a tourist city wasn’t for her.

Before I could say something back, she put in her airpods and straight up ignored me.

AITA?

Who knew a snapshot could spark such a clash?

Reddit is not really on anyone’s side.

This person says she really didn’t have to be so rude, but the wife should’ve been respectful of time.

But really, they’re both neck in neck.

Oof.

We bet when a tip isn’t the only thing left out, you know it’s gonna be a long car ride home.
