Re: Stiffing
[ QUOTE ]
I've never stiffed in a restaurant, but I've given really small tips (like 5%) in situations like the one you described where the guy just disappeared for like 15 minutes when we were trying to pay the check and get out of there. That [censored] is infuriating.

My wife and I were eating in the coffee shop at one of the casinos in South Lake Tahoe a couple of years ago. Sometime before the food was on the table, the server went DB Cooper on us, as in, didn't check back after a couple of minutes (a different server had actually brought the food out) and we were sitting around for a good 15 minutes waiting for the check.
Finally, we went to the cashier, who had no idea where the check was, and what to charge us. I told her exactly what we had, but for some reason she didn't just write up a duplicate tag. Anyway, Houdini comes rolling up out of the back and my wife insists on paying the bill, signing a CC slip for a $0.17 tip right in front of the guy.
