Tip shaming and asking to leave

Food was good, service was good. Two things did however put a damper on our experience, hence the 1 star. After asking for our bill and paying it in cash with a R140 tip, our waiter Petunia came back to our table with the bill. Paraphrasing now: she wanted to know if I'm sure that I wanted to tip that amount. She put me on the spot in front of my guest and I found the situation embarrassing. I gave her another R20. I regret doing it now as I was bul****/guilt shamed into increasing the tip. I've read on anther review placed a month ago, that a waitress also asked a customer for a bigger tip. Can Hussar Grill please clarify there stance on tipping and on the complained raised by me about my experience. Secondly, shortly after giving Petunia an extra R20 tip, another waitress came. I think her name was Brown or something of the sorts. She politely asked us to leave to make way for another table. My sister was still drinking her ****tail when this happened. I'm not sure if this was in retaliation for giving a R160 tip, but it was embarrassing and demeaning to say the least. We are not the type of people to cause a scene, so we left. Not sure if the restaurant has cameras, but both incident occurred around 18:10-18:20, 20th September 2025. Table of 6. What is Hassar's Grill policy about this. Can management please make contact with me? I really cant see us going back to the restaurant.
