The worst part is that they are not only screwing the restaurant, but the servers as well! I wonder if anyone has ever been arrested for doing that...since it is stealing!In A Perfect Worldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02947470850916852543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6190289331852322306.post-15236631014428190652012-10-24T13:01:51.586-04:002012-10-24T13:01:51.586-04:00I 100% agree that it should be mandatory for all A...I 100% agree that it should be mandatory for all American's to wait tables. Most people I know did wait tables and therefore are pretty good tippers, but as a former server/bartender/cocktail waitress, there are TONS of people who do not know how to tip!! I waited tables at a Fish Market/Steak House and we waited tables as a "Team of two". One night, my partner and I waited on a table of about 6 women in their 50s. Our restaurant had gotten completely slammed, and the kitchen was a little short staffed, so food was coming out slowly. My partner and I made sure all of our tables had refills on drinks, lots of bread, etc., everything we had control over. Eventually their food came out, they proceeded to eat it (all while we were very attentive to their needs, understanding that it is frustrating when the kitchen is slow), when they were finished, they got up and left... All 6 women, in their 50s WALKED OUT on their bill... and DID NOT leave us a tip! It was AWFUL! I cannot believe that anyone would walk out, let alone a group of women in their 50s!! I can't remember the exact cost of the tab, but it was easily around $300!

I always try to sneak extra tip money on the table if I'm with people who are bad tippers, or if they treated a server badly. It is ridiculous that people don't realize how much their actions reflect or have an effect on the other guests they are dining with!

I also agree that everyone should treat eating out at a restaurant like it's their own home or at someone else's home. Would they leave their child's mess on the floor at a friend's house? Or would they constantly send their friend running to the kitchen for extra ranch, or refills they don't end up drinking? I certainly hope not!In A Perfect Worldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02947470850916852543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6190289331852322306.post-66981379765785006802012-10-24T10:09:28.831-04:002012-10-24T10:09:28.831-04:00I stumbled upon this article, and I have to say, e...I stumbled upon this article, and I have to say, even as someone who has never waited tables or worked in a restaurant, I 100% agree! For those of us who know how to tip well, it is that much more embarrassing to dine with friend's or family who do not! I can't even count how many times I have secretly left an extra $5 or $10 on the table to help make up for the lack of tip my companions left! Not only is bad tipping rude, it costs people like me more money to make up for the inadequacy of others. Thanks for writing this!

O and they would forsure clean up after the kids they created! Would you let your kids throw crap on your floor at home?? If so STAY HOME!!
