David Cameron Makes Amends With Waitress After Tip Row by Nobody: 1:44pm On Aug 11, 2011
Just before the London riots, the UK Prime Minister made headlines across the world when it emerged he had paid for a 3.10 euro bill with a 50 euro banknote and failed to leave any small change, as is customary in Italian bars.
Last week, waitress Francesca Ariani, 27 failed to recognize the Number 10 resident when he walked in with his wife Samantha and ordered two cappuccino asking for them to be brought to an outside table.
But Francesca had told him she was too busy and too serve himself and Mr Cameron returned today with his daughter Nancy to clear up the misunderstanding at the Dolcenero bar in Monetvarchi near Arezzo.
This time he ordered a beer for himself and a soft drink for Nancy - paying the 5.10 euro tip with a 10 euro note and telling her to keep the change as she served him at a table.

In my Opinion, this event confirms to me that the British may the the most selfish. Just can't imagine the PM not being able to part with a tip to the waitress and the waitress must be a hard ball too for not giving the P.M due recognition the next time he was at the bar.

So refreshing for a head of state of a country to stroll into a bar with a wife without fanfare.

I Trust Madam umblella & Jonah. You go know.

Why did he need to leave a tip when the waitress admitted she was too busy to serve him , and so he had to serve himself?  undecided undecided undecided undecided undecided

In Nigeria our leaders go on spend-spree. Night clubbing and all that, while Rome burns.
