Several liberal commentators, including ex-MSNBC host Joy Reid and Democratic strategist James Carville, have suggested in recent weeks that the 2026 midterms will be tampered with or outright canceled by President Donald Trump.During an appearance on "The Jim Acosta Show" earlier this month, Carville told the former CNN anchor he thinks theres a major risk of Trump tampering with votes in the 2026 midterm elections to make sure the Democratic Party can't oppose his second-term agenda."In the short word, yes," Carville said in response to Acosta relaying a viewer question about whether they believe Trump will end up "tampering" with the midterm votes. "In the longer words, very," Carville added."I dont put anything past him nothing to try to call the election off, to do anything he can," the Democratic strategist continued. "He can think of things like that, that that, you know, we cant because were not accustomed to thinking like that. We always assume theres going to be an election."JOY REID FLOATS SPECULATION THAT HER RACE, 'ANXIETY' SURROUNDING TRUMP PLAYED ROLE IN MSNBC FIRING"I dont think Trump intends to leave office," Reid told far-left writer Wajahat Ali on his Substack on July 3. "Ive been very clear about that. I think he intends to stay in office like Putin till he dies."Ali declared that Trump would declare martial law and not hold elections."I am afraid, and I want your thoughts on this, that he is going to say, 'Folks, I'm the commander in chief. I have to protect you. We're getting attacked by Antifa, the Muslims, the invasion, El Salvadorans. I have to declare martial law and I have to punt. I have to punt the elections. But don't worry. I'll bring back elections when they're safe,'" Ali argued.Reid agreed and said she doesn't assume that there will be midterms in 2026."I've been saying, whenever Democrats say to me, this is the reason we have to coalesce for 2026, I always add to the end of that sentence, yeah, assuming we actually have free and fair elections. I think it's insane, honestly, to just assume we're going to have normal elections next year. I don't assume that," she told Ali.EX-LIBERAL CABLE STARS JIM ACOSTA, JOY REID FLOAT 2026 MIDTERM CONSPIRACIES ABOUT TRUMPCharlamagne Tha God argued during his "Breakfast Club" radio show on July 8 that the Republican-led "Big, Beautiful Bill" is so unpopular, Trump and the GOP must only be pushing it because they know the upcoming elections are rigged.Noting that the bill was criticized by Republicans and Democrats, the radio host suggested it must mean the elections are fixed."But if the GOP doesn't seem to be concerned about that, then what does that tell y'all folks?" he asked. "The fight is probably already fixed, when it comes to the midterm elections, you know, and 2028.""I just feel like, you know, if something is, you know, political suicide, if you're using that kind of language for a bill and you pass it anyway, then you know something that the rest of us don't know," the radio host suggested. "Or you know something that the rest of us do know, and we're just sitting around waiting for the inevitable to happen."He added, "Free and fair elections my a--."SUCCEEDING TRUMP: 6 REPUBLICAN POTENTIAL PRESIDENTIAL HOPEFULS TO KEEP YOUR EYES ON IN 2028Former CNN commentator Angela Rye said last week that she believed Trump and the Republicans stole the 2024 election and are planning to steal the 2026 election."I think me and [Tiffany Cross] really might feel a way about telling y'all how many days are left till the midterms because I don't really know this things going to damn happen," Rye said on her "Native Land Pod" podcast."Even if they are going to happen, are they going to cheat like they did, I still feel like they did, in the 2024 election? I don't have data. I got a gut feeling, but I'm going to tell you about the Black woman and the Holy Ghost. We be spot on," she added.BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL IMMEDIATELY HITS THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL IN BATTLE FOR CONGRESSFailed Georgia Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacy Abrams alluded to not having elections at all during an interview on late-night TV last week, where she was asked on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" to speak about a viral clip of her suggesting that the U.S. was on its way to becoming an autocracy."Step nine, you start to encourage and incentivize private violence. You send the U.S. Marines into spaces they should not be. You send the National Guard in. You kidnap people off of the streets and pretend thats normal, because thats how you quiet dissent," she said."And once youve done those nine steps, step 10 is easy. Thats when you decide there wont be new elections because everyone is either afraid, poor, broken, or complicit," Abrams told guest host Anthony Anderson.CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTUREFox News' Lindsay Kornick, David Rutz and Alexander Hall contributed to this report.

Today, something big and unprecedented is happening in Pittsburgh. The inaugural Pennsylvania Energy and Innovation summit at Carnegie Mellon University is the clearest and most dramatic manifestation yet of President Donald Trumps promises to make America energy dominant, lead in advanced technology, and create jobs and opportunity for working families in Pennsylvania and across America.In 2017, Mr. Trump said he was "elected to represent the citizens of Pittsburgh, not Paris." Today in the Steel City, I am proud to welcome the President and more than 60 CEOs of the worlds most important companies and largest investors to my hometown to announce over $50 billion in new investments in energy, artificial intelligence (AI), and workforce development all targeted at making sure Pennsylvania powers the AI revolution. Despite the crucial link between AI and energy, never before have the leaders of the most important AI companies, energy producers, and investors all gathered with the President in a place ready to lead the nations technological future. To paraphrase one writer, not since the days of Andrew Carnegie has so much economic power gathered in one Pittsburgh room.These investments are of enormous consequence to Pennsylvania, but they are also crucial to the future of the nation. The stakes could not be higher: the AI revolution has the potential to transform our nations economic outlook and national security, but if the United States does not lead this revolution on our own terms, we will hand control of our infrastructure, our data, our leadership, and our way of life to Communist China.ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE FUELS BIG TECH PARTNERSHIPS WITH NUCLEAR ENERGY PRODUCERSPennsylvania is spearheading the charge for American energy and AI dominance. Heres why.First, we are blessed with an abundant and diverse mix of energy and natural resources, including one of the worlds largest natural gas reserves, abundant fresh water, and an incredible installed base of nuclear power. These resources can meet the booming demand for electricity to power AI data centers.Next, Pennsylvania is brimming with talent to meet the needs of the AI Revolution. Our economy brings together construction workers, steamfitters, machinists, and countless other trades necessary to build data center infrastructure along with world-class universities and research labs like our host CMU producing the next generation of engineers and scientists.Finally, the Commonwealth is already demonstrating the innovation and grit required to lead this revolution. In the past decade, Pittsburgh alone has incubated eight unicorns, and the generation-defining $14 billion investment President Trump secured for U.S. Steel will keep Pittsburgh a center for advanced manufacturing for decades to come. More is on the horizon, with an effort to build a new LNG export terminal along the Delaware River and innovative companies like Eos Energy Enterprises manufacturing zinc-powered energy storage in the Mon Valley.All of these advantages are located within 500 miles of nearly half the U.S. population. Pennsylvania is not only the most important swing state in American politics, but also an economic and industrial juggernaut.But our success depends on how we leverage these assets. The future will not build itself.At the Summit, companies, investors, and labor leaders will make a mutual commitment to build in Pennsylvania. We need to build more turbines, nuclear powerplants, and transmission lines to power the chips training AI models. We need to build an even stronger workforce of skilled workers to build this infrastructure through vocational training and apprenticeships. And we need to build a world-class education system, from K-12 to higher ed, to prepare the next generation for the AI-powered jobs of the future.CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINIONNo special handouts or industrial policy conceived in Washington were in play for today's announcements, The Keystone States own assets are the reason behind these investments, which we saw last month with Amazons $20 billion commitment to build AI data centers in Pennsylvania. Jobs and economic growth have no party affiliation. I will work with anyone, Republican or Democrat, who shares my commitment to put Pennsylvanians at the center of the energy and AI revolutions.None of this would be possible without the sea change in policy brought about by President Trump: energy dominance, support for workers, an embrace of foreign investment in the United States, and an absolute commitment to rebuilding Americas industrial capacity and securing long-term AI leadership. That agenda has galvanized private capital and is unleashing a new wave of industrial development and job creation across America.The long road of American industry and innovation has always run through the Keystone State. Pennsylvania is the place where America drilled its first commercial oil well, built the Arsenal of Democracy with Monongahela steel, and fueled an energy revolution in the Marcellus Shale. The Commonwealth can once again lead the charge. The investments announced in Pittsburgh today are a crucial step in that direction. Now lets get to work.

Former National Security Advisor Mike Waltz is poised to face members of the Senate on Tuesday to get the ball rolling on his nomination to represent the U.S. at the United Nations.Waltzs appearance before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee comes months after he exited his job at the White House amid controversy surrounding his role in a Signal group chat with other top administration officials.Democrats vowed to grill Waltz during his confirmation process in the aftermath of The Atlantic magazines reporting about a Signal group chat that his team had set up to discuss strikes against the Houthis in March.Even so, the tough questioning from Democrats on the so-called "Signalgate" issue isnt expected to derail Waltzs confirmation to the post, given that Republicans hold a 5347 majority in the Senate."Its all theater you know hes going to get confirmed," a GOP foreign relations source told Fox News Digital. "If Signalgates a big thing against him, it wasnt enough to get anyone else fired or impeached or anything like that."SENATE DEMOCRATS PREDICTING BRUTAL UN AMBASSADOR CONFIRMATION HEARING FOR MIKE WALTZWaltz, a former congressman who represented Floridas 6th congressional district, is a retired Army National Guard colonel and former Green Beret. During his time in uniform, he served four deployments to Afghanistan and earned four Bronze Stars the fourth-highest military combat award, issued for heroic service against an armed enemy.Waltz and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth were both entangled in the Signal chat that Waltzs team created where members of the Trump administration discussed strike plans against the Houthis.Waltz in March said he took "full responsibility" for the Signal group chat, and the Trump administration has maintained that no war plans were shared in the chat. The Atlantic published the full exchange of messages, which included certain attack details such as specific aircraft and times of the strikes from Hegseth.On May 1, President Donald Trump announced Waltz's departure from his role as national security advisor and hours later unveiled the former Florida congressmans nomination to represent the U.S. at the U.N.Democrats called for Hegseths resignation as a result of the chat and warned that Waltz would face the heat during the confirmation process for U.N. ambassador.Democratic Sen. Tammy Duckworth of Illinois said in a May interview with CBS News that Waltz could count on a "brutal, brutal hearing" from senators, and described his nomination as "failing up.""He's not qualified for the job, just by nature of the fact that he participated in this Signal chain," Duckworth, a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, told CBS News.Duckworth, who served in the Illinois Army National Guard as a Blackhawk helicopter pilot and lost both of her legs during a 2004 deployment to Iraq, told Fox News Digital Monday that Waltz's involvement in the group chat should disqualify him from serving as U.N. ambassador. She also said that every official included in the chat should be fired."As a retired Soldier, Waltz should have shut the unclassified chain down as soon as he saw Hegseth share such classified information that couldve gotten our pilots killed," Duckworth said in a statement. "Its clear Waltz cannot be trusted to make critical and sensitive national security decisions, and I look forward to pressing him on his conduct and holding him accountable."NEXT US NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISOR? HERE'S WHOM TRUMP MIGHT PICK TO REPLACE WALTZDuckworth has pinned most of the blame on Hegseth for Signalgate. Prior to Trumps announcement on Waltzs U.N. ambassador nomination, Duckworth said in a May post on X that of "all the idiots in that chat, Hegseth is the biggest security risk of all he leaked the info that put our troops in greater danger."In addition to Waltz and Hegseth, administration officials including Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and CIA Director John Ratcliffe were part of the group chat.Additionally, ranking member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee Sen. Chris Coons, D-Conn., said that Waltz could brace for a meticulous confirmation hearing before the committees members."I look forward to a thorough confirmation hearing," Coons said in a post on X in May.A spokesperson for Coons did not respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital.MIKE WALTZ, OTHER NATIONAL SECURITY COUNCIL STAFFERS OUT IN LATEST TRUMP PURGE FOLLOWING SIGNAL CHAT LEAKThe GOP foreign relations source described the fallout from Signalgate a "huge nothing burger," and pointed out that Democrats previous efforts to use Signalgate against Waltz and Hegseth have proven unsuccessful."If this was their deathly bullet, it would have killed Hegseth, and it would have killed Waltz, but theyre both left standing," the source told Fox News Digital.A Senate aide told Fox News Digital that while Waltz took the brunt of the blame for Signalgate because his team created the chat, Democrats expected questioning of the group chat during the hearing is actually about finding a new avenue to go after Trump."I dont think hes the target. Hes just the mechanism to go after the target," the Senate aide said. "At the end of the day, Democrats want to criticize and go after the president, so these guys are just a mechanism to get there."Meanwhile, Republican lawmakers have voiced support for Waltz, with Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Sen. Jim Risch, R-Idaho, calling him a "great choice" for the position in a post on X in May. Additionally, Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said at the time that the Senate would "for sure" confirm Waltz."Some things I know for sure: the sun rises in the East, sets in the West and Mike Waltz will be confirmed as the next UN Ambassador," Graham said in an X post in May. "He is highly qualified, well-positioned, and will be a strong voice for our nation at the UN."Since Waltzs departure as serving as national security advisor, Rubio has stepped in to fill that role.Trump previously nominated Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., to represent the U.S. at the U.N. However, her nomination was pulled in March, and Trump claimed at the time that the House could not give up another Republican seat with its slim 220212 Republican majority.If confirmed as U.N. ambassador, Waltz would be responsible for representing U.S. interests at the U.N.'s New York headquarters, weighing in on resolutions, treaties and other global matters. Waltz could not be reached for comment by Fox News Digital.The 80th session of the U.N. General Assembly is scheduled for Sept. 9, providing a window of time for Waltzs nomination to make it through the entire confirmation process beforehand."The hope is to have him in place before the U.N. General Assembly is in session," the GOP foreign relations source told Fox News Digital.

Political influencer and podcast host Link Lauren sat down with Fox News Digital to discussPresident Donald Trump's favorability with the LGBTQ community as the president nears his sixth month in office.Exitpolling from Fox News showed only 20% of the LGBTQ voted for the president after the 2024 election, a sharp decline from the 28% reported by the New York Times after the 2020 election.But the "Spot On with Link Lauren" podcast host, a formerRobert F. Kennedy Jr. advisor turned political influencer with roughly 1 million followers across various social media platforms, told Fox News Digital he was "skeptical" of declining support for the president now that Trump has been in office for nearly half a year.GAY JOURNALIST SAYS LGBTQ MOVEMENT HAS GONE FROM CIVIL RIGHTS SUCCESS TO 'MADNESS'"When they say LGBT support for President Trump may have dipped a little bit in this last election, I'm not really sure because he has the support of most normal gays that I talk to, and most gay people are tired of being lumped in with the non-binary LGBTQIA R2D2 nonsense," Lauren told Fox."I don't need to constantly feel like I'm part of this LGBTQ community and go out and wave a flag on Fifth Avenue as naked, non-binary people come traipsing down the street."Lauren, who is openly gay, made clear that Trumps favorability could have shifted since becoming president.SUPREME COURT DECIDES WHETHER TO ALLOW PARENTS TO SHIELD CHILDREN FROM LGBTQ BOOKS IN SCHOOLAs for Trump's drop in polling between the 2020 and 2024 elections, polling expert and partner at Cygnal, Mitchell Brown, told Fox the "'T' in the LGBTQ community" could be the reason for a change in numbers."Recently, especially in 2024, when his numbers went down a bit, its the"T" in the LGBTQ community thats largely responsible for that, and its because those people have been championing things like men in women's sports," Brown told Fox News Digital. "Of course this is a small portion of the population, less than 1%, but its become another 80/20 where Trump adopts the 80 and the Left tokenizes the community and takes the 20 position.""The political backdrop of 2016 versus 2024 was very different," Brown explained. "The difference is that Harris was a proven California radical who lacked so much substance and charisma as a person that only her radicalism stood out."FEMALE CYCLIST DEFENDS 'TAKING A STAND' ON WOMEN'S SPORTS BY REFUSING TO TAKE PODIUM WITH TRANS WINNER"Some voters found that attractive and went to her, but I suspect the vast majority of the losses in Trumps column were people who became disenfranchised and stayed home."Transgender surgeries on minors, men playing in womens sports, and transgender rights have been key issues in debates surrounding the LGBTQ community between Republicans and Democrats for some years.Most recently, the California Department of Education (CDE) and California Interscholastic Federation (CIF)were sued by the Trump administration last week after the Department of Education found that the state violated Title IX with biological men competing in women's sports."I might be gay, but I'm not brain-dead," Lauren told Fox News. "Don't tell me I have to support men in women's locker rooms. It's asinine and absurd that we even have to have this conversation. And it's why so many other countries have laughed at us in the last four years."

Arab-Jewish stage actor Ariel Stachel told MSNBC on Monday that Democratic New York City mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani hasnt done enough to push back on antisemitism from his base and in the city.As an Arab Jew with an Israeli father, Stachel told MSNBC host Katy Tur that he now feels "uncomfortable" revealing his ethnicity in public. Though he agreed with Tur that Mamdani had not explicitly condoned antisemitism, Stachel believes that the democratic socialist candidate hasnt properly condemned it yet."I think it hasnt been enough, because I think that theres a sense that there are people in his base who really are antisemitic," Stachel said. "And I think that theres been a sense that he hasnt been as vehemently denouncing their statements."The Tony award-winning actor described a recent example of feeling scared to reveal his own background to a Palestinian woman at a bodega.DEMOCRATIC LAWMAKER SLAMS MAMDANI, SAYS PARTY SHOULD HAVE 'ZERO PATIENCE' FOR 'INTIFADA' RHETORIC"Antisemitism has become so broad right now that if Im the son of an Israeli father who is the son of a Yemeni immigrant, I still become a target in some ways," he said.Despite this, Stachel said he was open to working with Mamdani to create a coalition made up of multicultural Jews to help push back on antisemitism.His comments came after he made an Instagram video last month, where he urged Mamdani to call out antisemitism specifically and denounce it."Whats frightening is this, in some circles, antisemitism isnt recognized as hate," Stachel said in the video. "Its framed as justice. Attacks against Jews arent condemned. They are celebrated, seen as a righteous response to a government miles away, which makes it all the more dangerous. Its disguised as virtue. And I know you dont want to lead a city where people feel like that."He continued, "So I have a request: name antisemitism clearly. Not in footnotes, not with caveats, not lumped in with the many other very valid and real hate crimes in our city, but named as its own pain and its own danger. And I want you to have the courage to denounce explicitly any of your supporters who are blatantly antisemitic, because we cannot live in a New York that is like that."Fox News Digital reached out to Mamdanis campaign for comment.DAVE RUBIN WARNS JEWS TO 'GET THE HELL OUT' OF NYC IF MAMDANI BECOMES MAYORMamdani has faced accusations of antisemitism throughout his campaign. In several instances, he refused to denounce the phrase "globalize the intifada" despite its violent connotations against Israelis and Jews worldwide.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPHe has also refused to recognize Israels right to exist as a Jewish state and has instead argued it had a right to exist "as a state with equal rights."

Roman Reigns made his return to a WWE ring on "Monday Night Raw" as he helped thwart a post-match beatdown on CM Punk from Bronn Breaker and Bronson Reed.Punk pinned Breakker to earn a shot at the World Heavyweight Championship against Gunther at SummerSlam next month. However, as the bell sounded, Reed launched into an attack on Punk. Jey Uso tried to break it up, but he was met with a spear from Breakker.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMReed was attempting to pile Uso on top of Punk and hit a "Tsunami" from the top rope, but Reigns music hit. The crowd at the Legacy Arena in Birmingham, Alabama, nearly blew the lid off.Reigns marched down to the ring and immediately dispatched Reed and Breakker, sending them scurrying to the ramp with Paul Heyman shuffling behind them.NAOMI LEAVES EVOLUTION AS WOMEN'S WORLD CHAMPION AFTER CASHING IN MONEY IN THE BANK CONTRACTThe "Original Tribal Chief" hadnt been seen since his WrestleMania 41 defeat, when Heyman turned on Reigns and Seth Rollins hit him with a chair to secure the victory. Punk was also in the match, and he didnt exactly give Reigns a warm greeting when he showed up to fend off Breakker and Reed. There still appears to be a lot of hurt feelings between the two competitors.Regardless, Punk and Gunther will meet at SummerSlam, and Reigns fate and business with Heyman, Reed and Breakker will be dealt with in the coming weeks.Rollins was not seen during the show. He appeared to suffer a leg injury during his match against LA Knight during "Saturday Nights Main Event." Heyman told Raws Jackie Redmond that Rollins health was irrelevant because he still has 11 months to cash in his Money in the Bank contract and could take all the time he needs to make an impact.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

Dave Roberts knows a thing or two about managing superstar MLB players.Last October, Roberts guided the Dodgers to the World Series title for the second time in his managerial career.He has also been tapped as the manager for Tuesday's MLB All-Star game. Managing the National League All-Stars is something Roberts is familiar with. He's done the job three times before in 2018, 2019, and 2021.Entering his fourth time as the manager at the Midsummer Classic, Roberts admitted he no longer views the responsibilities that come with the job as a "challenge."CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM"Now that there's no extra innings, there's no challenge for me," Roberts told Fox News Digital. "It's easy, my coaches are managing the pitching I'm enjoying the conversations hanging out with the players, the coaches. It's great because we're hanging out with the game's best, everyone's kinda of having a good time. They're not as edgy as they [would be] for a game that matters. So we can all put that aside, appreciate that we accomplished something to get here."2025 MLB ALL-STAR GAME: BUILDING ALL-TIME LINEUPS FOR ALL 30 TEAMSThe Dodgers front office was far from complacent this past offseason. The team added to its star-studded roster with a series of blockbuster moves, which included bringing Japanese pitching phenom Roki Sasaki to Los Angeles. The team also signed two-time Cy Young Award winner Blake Snell. Star pitcher Clayton Kershaw, who previously declared he would be a "Dodger for life," agreed to a new short-term deal with the team.Kershaw, along with his teammates Shohei Ohtani, Freddie Freeman, Will Smith and Yoshinobu Yamamoto, make up the five Dodgers who were selected as 2025 All-Stars.Roberts added that all the Dodgers players in Atlanta for this weeks All-Star festivities are "having a blast.""Freddie gets to sleep in his own bed," Roberts said of Freeman during batting practice ahead of Monday's home run derby.Freeman left Atlanta after the Braves' 2021 World Series title. He went on to earn 2024 World Series MVP honors with the Dodgers. "Getting the welcome from the Braves faithful is going to be a lot of fun for Freddie.""This respite, this break is certainly going to be beneficial," Roberts added. "But I do think that its going to be good for all the guys. I think Shohei (Ohtani) he could probably do without this, without all the attention. But, the game needs Shohei and he's just such a great advocate for the game. Yammothao is going to be here not pitch which is going to be great. Will Smith will take a couple of at bats being the starter for him, I think he's certainly earned it."Roberts has spent the past decade managing the Dodgers. L.A. entered the All-Star break in first place in the NL West division.The 2025 All-Star Game begins at 8 p.m. ET on FOX.Follow Fox News Digitals sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

A waitress at an Italian restaurant apparently humiliated a customer in front of a full dining room, prompting him to take his tip back, according to an online forum.The 32-year-old man shared the story on Reddit, asking if he was wrong about retrieving the cash after a dinner date went sideways."This occurred a few nights ago, and I just can't believe it happened the way it did," he wrote in his post last week.MAN BUYS LOCKED MINI-FRIDGE AFTER FOOD THEFTS, GETS CALLED 'WEIRD AND SELFISH' BY CO-WORKERSHe and his 29-year-old girlfriend had dined at the restaurant before, he said.It wasn't fancy but was good for a "relaxed evening" over a glass of wine, he said.But on this particular night, the service was poor, he said.The waitress allegedly "lost" his drink twice, brought him and his girlfriend the wrong appetizer and "vanished for what seemed like an eternity" when they wanted to order dessert.He paid and left a 10% cash tip, which he felt was "reasonable given the circumstances," he said.SCAM LEAVES RESTAURANT WAITRESS STUNNED AS DINERS LAUGH IN HER FACE: 'WHY IS THIS THE NORM?'"We were just standing up to leave when [the waitress] came over, took the cash and said, 'Seriously? This is it?'" he continued. "She had said it audibly. A few people at some nearby tables turned around and stared."He said he was dumbfounded."Then she added, 'You know, servers can't pay their rent because of people like you If you can't tip properly, don't dine out.'"The man said that others in the restaurant fell silent as his girlfriend recoiled in embarrassment, but he remained calm and told the waitress, "Sorry you feel that way."But then she muttered, "Whatever, cheapskates."That was the last straw for the baffled boyfriend.He went back to the table, pocketed his cash tip and "left without another word."WORKER'S UNUSUAL LUNCH SPOT BACKFIRES AFTER UNCOMFORTABLE CONFRONTATION: 'WAS I BEING DISRESPECTFUL?'"I feel like [being] scolded and humiliated on account of a 10% tip that I actually did leave is way out of bounds," he said.His girlfriend later told him his reaction was "fine," but a friend said he went too far.So he took to Reddit, asking others if he was wrong "for retrieving the tip after she yelled at us in front of everyone in the restaurant."Many users sided with him and said they wouldn't have left a tip either.For more Lifestyle articles, visit foxnews.com/lifestyle"She expected and then demanded a good tip for a crappy job," one person wrote. "You were nice enough to leave her something, but she wanted to be ungrateful."Said another person, "The whole point of a tip is to be an incentive for the server to do good work."Others shared how they would have handled the situation."I would've told her, 'Tip reflects your service,'" one commenter said."I would probably have pointed out why the tip was not higher," said another. "And I would also contact the restaurant to speak to a manager because that server was way out of line."CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTERBut not everyone agreed."Tipping 10% is insane," commented one person. "You are cheap."Another Redditor said the "petty" move might have punished co-workers pooling tips with her."The server could've been having a rough shift and having her manager speak to her might have helped her," the person added.Nick Leighton, host of the podcast "Were You Raised By Wolves?" and a New York-based etiquette expert, agreed a manager should be brought in."When service issues are so egregious they warrant leaving a less-than-standard tip amount, it's ideal to loop in a manager first before exacting revenge on the server," Leighton told Fox News Digital."There are, many times, issues [that] are actually beyond the control of the server," Leighton said. So "the manager can help provide a more fair resolution for everyone involved."While calling the customer a "cheapskate" wasn't warranted, taking back the tip "certainly escalated the situation," Leighton added."Simply walking away would have been the move," he advised.Fox News Digital reached out to the original poster for comment.
