I think this might have been the smallest tip I have ever given. I left 1.50 tip. The smallest tip I've ever left was three pennies and a nickel, deliberately tossed into a coffee cup (that still had a little puddle of coffee in it). It sends a very clear message that you're not just being cheap (or forgot to tip/are foreign if you leave nothing), you're actively delivering a "fuck you" for terrible service and/or attitude. When you're fishing your sticky 8 cents out of a cup you know I didn't just forget you, you know for absolute sure that I outright hated you. That's extremely rare for me, though. I'm usually pretty generous with tips (I've had servers go out of their way to thank me for overtipping), and I'm fairly understanding and forgiving if a server looks incredibly harried or exhausted and wind up making minor mistakes (so much so that I've been out with other people who refuse to tip because they were pissed about something, and I just tipped for them because I felt bad for the server). But I definitely have my limits. Most of the servers I've had issues with had shitty attitudes even before they came to my table the first time, or seemed to not give a single shit about anything resembling customer service. And at a certain point, I stop caring about whether or not you're having a bad day and feel like that justifies your behavior, because it's not (and shouldn't be) my problem. I can probably count on one hand the number of times I've had experiences like that though (and that's over the span of like 30 years or so). --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family <cite>ParanoidObsessive posted [p:979942179] in We can sti...
