i went to a restaurant with some ppl on monday and basically, i was very disappointed with the service. this has happened before, but i just figured that the waitress was having a bad (and busy) day. however, this past monday, the restaurant was pretty slow when my friends and i came in. i ordered and then took our seats. the waitress comes out and was throwing our napkins like a frisbee onto the table. it would be cool if she was accurate, but she was not.
then i asked her if i could have a pot of tea. though she didn't blatantly blurt out "what the fcuk do you want?!", judging by her facial expression, she seemed quite annoyed by the request.
when the food was brought out, she puts down the wrong dish in front of me. the guy diagonally across from me says "oh that's me", claiming the dish. so i just waited for a second of two for the waitress to move the dish, but she doesn't. while i was waiting for her to make her move, she brings the next dish from her tray, and it was mine. i indicated to her that was my dish, but obviously, the place in front of me is occupied by the previous dish. i thought maybe she would make an attempt to give the dish in front of me to the right guy, but she just stood there. so fine, i handed the dish to the guy, and she puts my dish in front of me.
after we're done eating... just before we leave, it dawned on me that the service was completely garbage. i decided i wasn't going to tip. then i decided to leave the change in my pocket... which was like... $0.17. then the person next to me persuaded me not to do that, so i just picked up my change and left. as i was leaving tho, i saw that no one else left a tip either. so either the whole table was full of cheap asses, or everyone felt the same way as i did.
now back to the original question... if the service was crap, do i leave a tip?
