That's probably true. I've witnessed it done at a few local - upscale - restaurants around town. I see no problem with it in certain circumstances.

I meant and/or My bad

LMAO

Agree with this 100%. There's no way you can justify this. And I don't give a damn if it's wrong to put it out there on the internet, this woman should be ****ing ashamed of herself.

Basically. If I know I only have a certain amount of money to spend, I do my best to order something cheap enough so that I will still have money leftover to leave a suitable tip.

The waiter should also be ashamed of himself/herself for crying about missing a $15 tip when unemployment is as high as its been.

Oh my God, someone didn't tip you!!!! Oh the humanity!!!! LMAO, what a fcking baby.

For all I know this lady had six kids with her and the service was terrible. She took her one kid out for his birthday and wanted to have a great time but the service was so terrible it ruined the whole experience. She could have wrote no tip, your service was terrible but instead wanted it to seem nicer so she wrote the whole single Mom thing.

Tips are for doing a good job not just doing the bare minimum in my opinion and I was a server in high school and college for 7 years. I have never understood these servers that exepct a customer to just give them a tip if they do just enough to get by.

This just in - someone does something stupid.

People on internet, outraged, explain how they would rectify the situation.

If you can't afford a tip, you can't afford to eat out.

That's part of the package, unless you are treated terribly by the staff.

So you're a shitty tipper too?

Let's get this thread rollin'

This shit happens all the time, but yeah, it's incredibly obnoxious. I can only think of three situations where not tipping can mean anything other than the fact that you're a total douche:

1. You are from a foreign country and just didn't understand you were supposed to leave a tip. (still minorly douchey)
2. You just plain forget. (still moderately douchey)
3. You receive the most absolutely terrible service you've ever experienced. (acceptable once or twice a decade)

In this case, she outright acknowledged that she knew she was supposed to tip but just wasn't because she couldn't afford it. That's on the level of theft if you ask me.

A person doesn't write"Thank You, it was Great" on a ticket when they get horrible service.

Maybe she was drunk.

I don't see the problem. /Scottie Pippen
