i have been known not to tip....like:
My wife and I were at the Pizzeria Uno in the Fenway neighborhood in Boston. We were there for about 1 1/2 hours:
- Got our menus after sitting for about 10 minutes
- Ordered another 10 minutes later
- Got the food after another 45 minutes
- In the 90 minutes, we got our "free refills" checked once.
In the meantime, we watched our server hanging out at the waitress station, oblivious to our needs.
A good tip goes to someone who is very attentive, doesn't need to ask who ordered what when bringing the food, refills your drinks without asking, etc. Ultimately, if you can afford to eat at more expensive restaurants, you get better servers (management can be pickier).
What I hate to hear is when rich people (ie Michael Jordan, Jennifer Lopez, etc.) don't tip. These are people who usually get their meals for free just for being a celebrity, yet they won't leave the poor schleps who bend over backwards for them a tip.
If I was working as a waiter and J-Ho came in, I would find it worth getting fired to take her meal and just dump it down the front of her dress...
