It doesn’t sound like the “family
Of 3” OP describes are old people, you ageist.

They sound like young grifters to me.


+1

One summer evening we were eating at a nice Bethesda restaurant. There was a young solo woman at a table nearby having dinner, drinks, dessert, and then---just when it was time for the bill to arrive, screamed loudly that she saw a mouse on the floor (no one else did as all eyes diverted to the floor). Server came right over, then manager, and they offered to take full 100% care of her bill. And Poof! Just like that she was out the door. Have zero doubt there was a mouse. Am guessing she pulls the complaining card for discounts elsewhere.

OP here. It was a husband and wife (maybe late 40s) and their late teen son. Wife had a Chanel purse that looked real to me.


I doubt it.


I don’t. So many cheap rich people. They’re the absolute dregs of society.


The “dregs” that support over half the US with their tax contributions



And I’m sure the rich people “supporting” the U.S. are self made folks who pulled themselves up by their bootstraps . I’m sure they started their company with ONLY $1 million in seed money from Mom & Dad!


This multi-millionaire started life in an orphanage. I don’t even know who my parents are let alone have gotten a dime from them!

Yes to all this. A lot of places are understaffed. I have not noticed people complaining in an attempt to get something off the bill. We eat out at sit down places (as opposed to fast casual) less because things are more expensive now and service usually bad. I'd rather do that than try to nickel and dime the staff.
