However, she dissed him appropriately by giving him only 20 minutes of her time for a cup of tea and a biscuit, which was more or less like leaving a $1 tip for a rude, incompetent waiter after an expensive dinner.

It kind of reminds me of something a Norwegian friend told me: In Scandinavia if you are invited into someone's home you will almost always be offered a cup of coffee and something to eat - even if you're just there to read the electric meter or repair the dishwasher. You know you aren't welcome and they want you to leave if you aren't offered coffee. It was kind of like that.
