I love Red Robin. If you're not being offered something you want, speak up and ask for it. I see so many whiny customer reviews about being "ignored" when said person simply can't be bothered to initiate a conversation they desperately wish to have. The conversation being: "Can I get some more fries/water?" Instead, it's about the whole restaurant ruining your dinner. With an attitude like that, they probably didn't expect a tip from you anyway, so why put in the effort for nothing? Save that effort for tables that tip.

A small tip only signals to them that you're cheap. It doesn't actually communicate what went wrong with your dining experience. I've never wanted to be a server/waiter because it really does seem like a most exhausting job having to deal with cheap, whiny folks.

I would have asked if I ever saw the waitress. I don't mind saying a quick excuse me while a server is walking past. And if they ever ask about the food I dont mind saying can I get a refill. In general I'm not a bad tipper. I usually do a minimum of 20% and will tip more if I liked the service. I tipped $20 on a $20 bill just last week for excellent service in a busy shift where the waitress was run ragged. But I'm not about to tip well for a horrible experience.
