If the service is good I'll tip 20-30%. But if the service sucks,you get nothing. I am doing you the favour by frequenting that establishment when I can go elsewhere.You are not doing me a favour by doing your job.I don't mean to sound like an asshole,but really,some places I've gone into had people with some bad ass attitudes.If you don't like your job,go find something else to do.

I was in Boston one time and the restaurant I was in was quite nice.I asked for a Bud and the server brought me Shlitz. I said to her I asked for a Bud not a Shlitz,she apologized, and came back with a Miller Genuine Draft.I laughed and she said"Oh that wasn't what you wanted was it" and I said no.No problem,it's only beer.

I then tell her I'll have the special of the day thinking at least I'll get the food going.Well,25 minutes later I finally see her again and she tells me she forgot to put my order in.She forgot about my beer too.When my food came she brought me a club sandwich instead of the steak sandwich I had order.Again I told her she got the order wrong.By the time I got my bill,the lunch special I ordered apparently came after the time expired so I had to pay full price.I was also charged for not 2,but 3 beers I never drank.To add insult to injury,there was a 15% gratuity added on my behalf.I spoke to the manager and explained the circumstance about my bill.He basically told me tough shit,that's the way it is.So I left without paying.The steak sandwich was terrible anyway.Maybe it would have been better if I had a beer with it.
