Victoria Beckham must be still getting used to LA customs.
Posh, 33, and pal Katie Holmes, 28, have angered a waitress who claims the new best friends failed to leave a tip.
The girls enjoyed lunch together at the Mondrian Hotel's Asia de Cuba in Hollywood, reports the Baltimore Sun.
But, having paid the bill, the pair left without leaving the customary 15%.
And when the furious waitress tried to confront the pair, it’s claimed she was prevented by Victoria's security team.
Meanwhile, hubby David, 32, was having more luck settling in.
Becks – who’s out of action because of a lingering ankle injury - watched new team LA Galaxy record a 2-1 win over Mexican champs Pachuca.
Those Californian waitresses sound a bit scary! Can't imagine restaurant staff in the UK demanding a gratuity...
