i'll hijack this for a second and recommend no one ever date a waitress. i've tipped 40%+ on almost every meal so far. [/ QUOTE ] I have gone out w/ bartenders and waitresses. The fact that you tip outrageously should be compensated for by getting free drinks/meals at a bunch of bars/restaurants you go to.

[ QUOTE ]
You know, with service that bad and her not paying any attention to you, you might consider just leaving without paying. When people dine and dash, if the server hasnt been paying any attention to the table, it comes out of her pocket. Yes, it is stealing, but if you can live with not going back there again, and the service was really that bad.... [/ QUOTE ] No. No it doesn't. And even if it did unless she called your mom a whore and punched you in the face it would be way overkill.

Re: Tipping etiqutte, should I feel bad/cheap?
this is the first time i received poor service at this place, and do not think it will ever happen again. maybe the girl was having a bad day. i would be surprised if i received bad service there again, and i do plan on going back.
my tipping scale is like this: standard service: 15% good service: 16%-19% ish excellent/top notch: 20%+ i was going to track down the manager but did not feel it was necessary. she was courteous when she waited on us and acted friendly. maybe she was having a bad day, but at my workplace i do not get a bonus for having a bad day! /rant off

Re: Tipping etiqutte, should I feel bad/cheap?
My scale is higher, because I'm a huge douchebag.
You do need to keep in mind that if you plan on returning to a joint after not leaving a tip there may be consequences that you don't want to think about. Nobody in the back of the house will have heard your side of the story. To them you are just some [censored].

Re: Tipping etiqutte, should I feel bad/cheap?
I waited tables once. Sometimes you know you gave someone lousy service and know you don't deserve a good tip, but they still tip you decently anyway. I never understtod that.

Re: Tipping etiqutte, should I feel bad/cheap?
we will see what happens, it's not like i'm a regular there. my friend and brother left a tip, nothing huge..i think they left around 15% for their part.
about my tipping scale, more often than not i leave a 20%+ tip because i appreciate good service. and whenever possible i thank the waiter/waitress for excellent service, and if a manager checks in with me, i will tell him/her as well.

Re: Tipping etiqutte, should I feel bad/cheap?
I waited tables for a while and saw the same thing.
I was stiffed once at a mothers day thing we had going on where I had ten plus tables at once. The mom came rushing back in to give me cash, which I took and regret now. I made easily twice what I make now being a shitty server than a good cook.
