A US woman's pleasant breakfast took an unexpected turn after a stranger paid her bill, prompting a highly unusual interaction with her waiter.

The incident began when @trophybre was enjoying her breakfast. The waiter approached her, humorously declaring, "Free food tasting day!"

Staying polite in an uncomfortable situation

The waiter inquired if the woman knew the kind gentleman who paid, to which she responded that she had never seen him before; he had simply waved from across the room. The restaurant employee acknowledged her beauty and said he still wouldn't waste his money on a stranger that he was meeting for the first time.

She, however, politely offered advice. She gently suggested he would adopt similar kindness when he was older and more mature, but the waiter doubled down. He boldly stated that he would never perform such an act for a woman, saying he needed the princess treatment for himself.
