David Cameron returns to Italian bar to apologize to waitress he failed to tip

   Aug 8, 1:34 pm

London, August 8 (ANI): British Prime Minister David Cameron returned to an Italian bar on Sunday to make amends with the waitress who he had famously failed to tip last week.

Cameron, 45, made headlines 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 recognise the Number 10 resident when he walked in with his wife Samantha, 40, and ordered two cappuccinos asking for them to be brought to an outside table.

But Francesca had told him she was too busy making coffees to bring them out and to serve himself.

On Sunday Mr Cameron returned 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.

"I was so surprised when he came back to the bar after what had happened last week. I said I was sorry for not recognising him and not serving him and he said it was not a problem," the Daily Mail quoted Francesca as saying.

"He said he was sorry for any fuss that had been created and he was very nice, very friendly," she added. (ANI)
