Topic	How often have you not left a tip cause of shitty service?
ParanoidObsessive 01/27/20 3:05:40 AM #38:	I never don't tip - mainly because wait staff that is so terrible that I refuse to tip them at all deserve to know how much they suck... and not leaving a tip at all just makes them think you're a cheapass or a dummy who forgot to tip. My standard go-to (which I've only had to do once or twice in like 25 years) is to throw a couple coins on the table as a deliberate "fuck you". It's significant enough to show I didn't "forget" to tip, and so small and insulting it makes it very obvious I wasn't just under-tipping. They're going to know damned well what I thought of their service. I also never return to that restaurant or whatever ever again. Partly because why would I want to after service that bad? But also partly because I don't really want wait staff to recognize and remember me and feel like they can get revenge by doing nasty things to my food. So that wait staff didn't just cost themselves my tip, they cost their establishment my business forever. It's not like I'm hugely demanding when I go out, though, and I'm super-forgiving in general. I've had waitresses who screw up orders sincerely apologize because they were tired from working a triple shift, or who've been apologetic for taking too long between visits to my table because the place is really busy, and I'm usually fine with it as long as they make an effort at customer service. But wait staff that is clearly bitter about their job AND ready to take it out on me for absolutely no reason can go fuck themselves. keyblader1985 posted... We shouldn't have to live in a society where employees rely on tips, but we do so I wouldn't feel good not doing it. If they're that dependent on tips to survive, they should probably strive to be good enough at their job that people don't stiff them for shit service. Getting stiffed because your customers suck is one thing. Getting stiffed because YOU were a standoffish asshole or hopelessly incompetent at your job is very much another. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family <cite>ParanoidObsessive posted [p:933543207] in How often ...
