[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 1731535, member: 1132"] OP's overly long post is overly long. Seriously, no one is going to read a rant that long, so you might want to work on "concise". This is coming from someone who routinely makes long posts, and they're never THAT long! :D As for tipping, I make a good wage and I recognize that I would never want to wait tables, same as you. I never tip less than 15%, more for good service. I say that with a qualification. One time about 17 years ago, I was in a pricey restaurant in Maui, HI. The waiter was rude, neglectful and an all around asshat. I literally left pocket change as a tip on an expensive tab. My wife was upset that I even left that. I told her that I wanted him to know that I didn't stiff him, I left what I thought his crappy service was worth. When the rich man writes a note on the CC slip saying "get a real job", he's admitting that to him, the people serving his food don't matter. He was outed by his own dinner guest, not the wait staff or restaurant management, which is telling. What he fails to realize is that food service is a privilege, not a right. He should be forced to serve himself in every restaurant he goes to for the rest of his miserable life. There's a saying about people and their real personality and values in life. Watch how they treat service people like waiters and waitresses. That's how they really feel about people in general. So, when you leave a miserable tip, it says more about you than it does about the service you received. There's some food for thought for you, and you don't even have to tip me! :D [/QUOTE]
