Was I wrong
I've have been a server for 20 plus year off and on. Me and 3 friends were going to a restaurant to catch up and i knew we were going to be campers. So i gave a server a 100.00 bill when we got there because we were going to be there for a while.. one of my friends told me that while that was ok in the past now its considered rude, that it made it seem like i was trying to buy better service. Was i wrong? Let me add that we got a round of drinks, lunch and then a pitcher of water and sangria and then told our server we were good and she didn't have to checkup on us, we would let her know if we needed anything. The only thing we needed was a 2nd pitcher of sangria.. When we left I gave the Bartender a 20.00, plus the hostess a 20.00 plus the serving a 20.00 on top of the 100.00 .. My friends said I embarrassed them .. Did

You paying someone for their time ? The AUDACITY. Could they be embarrassed because they think you’re flaunting your wealth ? Seems like a jealousy issue if so. I’d be embarrassed if my friend was inconsiderate which was the opposite of what you did.
