The furious diner allegedly claimed he refused to offer a tip because she had asked whether they wanted to split the bill.
The waitress wrote on Reddit: “He had the audacity to write this with my pen.”
She added that the man appeared to be in his late 50s or early 60s and that his wife looked “much younger”.
She explained: “We had a couple and some kids come in to eat once. The server brought out one check and the woman started freaking out because the server assumed that she and the man were still together.
“She was going on and on about how just because they look like a family doesn’t mean that they’re one check. That is why we ask because we want to prevent that situation from happening again.”
Her post received more than 13,000 likes and 1,500 comments, with many social media users flocking to the comments to share their equal outrage.

Most of the responses to the waitress were on her side.
One person wrote: “Isn’t it standard practice to ask if everything is on one ticket or not? I am literally asked this any time I am with more than one other adult.”
“Chances are they weren’t gonna tip anyways and found some lame excuse,” another assumed.
A third wrote: “How the f*** are you supposed to know? I’ve seen folks that look married that were brother and sister both with wedding bands.”
