If I get bad service and don't tip or leave a small tip, I pay cash. Don't want them to F with my CC.
 
The waiter brought us the bill and left. Another waitress was clearing the tables when I noticed the problem. I thought it was in error and she went to find out what happened. After a while she came back and told us why we were billed for those two kids' meals. At that point, I asked to talk to the waiter, but the manager showed up instead.

The manager reaffirmed that we were properly billed because I ate the kids' meals. I pointed out that there was nothing stating that the kids had to eat their meals. She said it was an unwritten policy, but she relented. She took the charges off, but warned us not to do it again.



I told the wife that I refused to tip. She left $20.

your wife betrayed you, and don't eat there again.
 
Mess with my money and I mess with yours.

If I ordered a meal that I wanted to eat and meals for my children to eat and they didn't want what they got then I would give them what I had to. I shouldn't have my bill adjusted without notice because I wanted my children to eat food for dinner.

I would have gotten the bill adjusted, asked to speak with the waiter and given him 5-10% and told him that the only reason I gave him something at all was because he did take my order and bring me my food. Anything above that has to be earned and by wasting my time just because I wanted my kids to eat he lost that.
