[QUOTE="tRidiot, post: 5774823, member: 569830"] Which they never even see as the busboys come and empty the table and that shit goes into the sink. I don't usually stiff people, and I've been known to leave my wife at the table while I go a block away to an ATM, then to the cash register to get change for a tip, since we seldom carry any cash. This is even for mediocre service. I tip fairly well, usually in the 20% range if service is pretty good, 30%ish if it's great, and still usually will leave 10% or $1 (whichever is more) if it's poor. Reason being that we usually go when places are busy, we have a child with us*, and I've worked in foodservice quite a bit (even after I finished all my schooling, while looking for another job), so I know how hard the work [B]can [/B]be... but still isn't an excuse for rudeness.

I got lots of "atta-boys" for cooking great steaks, but seldom any tips. *Just a note, we go out with our kid, but having worked in the industry in several different capacities, I can't stand people who bring their brood of children and let them go wild because "we're [B]out [/B]to dinner tonight." These people leave the most God-awful messes when they leave, with tons of food on the floors and ground into the carpet/tile, spilled drinks, sauces all over the tables, salt/pepper shakers emptied into plates, etc. My son is fairly well-behaved in restaurants, the worst he does is get fidgety sometimes, but we make sure he understands that when you go out in public you have to behave like a young gentleman, tell the waitresses "Thank you," clean up the majority of the messes you make and generally leave a minimal amount of problems for the staff to clean up after you.
