WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN (PRAGMATIC SUBTEXT)
“Don't try to dismiss me as being stingy about a drink; respect and proper service are what actually matter here.”
💡 Cultural Insight: Attitude Over Substance (Tai-du)

In Chinese service disputes, customers often stress that their anger is triggered by poor attitude ('态度') and disrespect rather than the material loss itself, making the issue a matter of dignity and respect.
