A WOMAN has sparked debate online after slamming European tourists for failing to tip her enough.
A Twitter user who goes by the name Madison Tayt shared her experience on the social media website after serving a group of Europeans.
She wrote: "LAMO I f****** hate Europeans sometimes on god.
"This table just left $70 on a $700 check after chilling for HOURS. my manager even asked about their service and they were OVER THE MOON about my service so he explained the customary tip is 20% and they were like 'ok.' and left."
Her tweets sparked debate about tipping culture with thousands of people divided in the comments.
One person wrote: "They are basically the worst customers."

However, non-Americans didn't agree with her.
Someone commented: "This American tipping culture has got to end they've gotta pay you guys an actual wage you shouldn't put up with this."
Another agreed: "In Europe we're not used to the idea that people serving us in restaurants are actually reliant on our tips to survive."
A third wrote: "You're just too entitled. They tipped $70 which is a lot and you're still mad."

In most US states, the minimum wage for a waiter is $2.13 (£1.74) along with a "tip credit" which employers add and is $5.12 (£4.17)
This takes the hourly wage to £7.25 (£5.91)which is much lower than the UK's minimum wage of £9.50, which is why they rely on tips on top of this.
