Here's what I'm guessing happened.
Male FA returns the drink trolly to the galley, where the take is to be counted and balanced. The count comes up short. The female FA was probably the lead FA for the flight, and asked the male FA why he was short. Male FA then give a not quite complete explanation about your husband not being able to pay at first, and then not being able to reach the funds, leaving female FA with the impression that you were trying to get away without paying for your drinks.
Perhaps flight crews have been threatened with some kind of sanction for previous drink shortages.
However, the rudeness was unwarranted.
Saying American crews are the worst is bigoted and hypocritical at best. I've found British Airways, Air France, and Lufthansa have all had their share of employees that should be working somewhere else.
