I'm a picky tipper, I suppose it's because my dad is so picky and I've just gotten it from him. My mother on the other hand...the waiter could slap her in the face and spit on her and she'd still tip 20%. Her mother was a waitress for a while so I suppose that it why my mother tips the way she does.
I went to a Japanese/Sushi restaurant the other night with my roommate and a friend. They seated us with some other friends they knew there rather quickly. From then on the service went down hill. It took them 15 minutes to get our drinks out to us, the waitress was rude, didn't offer me a refill until my food had been cooked and I was waiting on my check. The whole meal was awful, the food wasn't even good. I love Hibachi and was not impressed, been to over 50 Hibachi Restaurants in major cities across the south, so I know what's good. They overcharged me and took forever getting ANYTHING done. Very not impressed. There were about 3 waiters/waitresses manning 8 tables with 8 people a piece at each table. I left no tip and a note below saying "awful service, will not return."
Should of left a note saying: Heres a tip: "Serve Your Customers Better!"
That's probably one of the only times I have ever been so pissed off that I didn't tip. I also think they believe college students don't deserve the same time as the other people. Just ridiculous.
