I'm certain it was not the person who took my order but probably the 2 jaggoffs that called in the day after the Super Bowl making everyone else work harder.

Outside of that; if your a not a fun person to be around....you don't get tipped well. Most of the time I could care less how long it takes my food to get to me etc.

My uncle is a pleasant man with a rather interesting way of tipping. He likes to place 10 one dollar bills on the table before he orders and says "this is your tip but one will be taken away as I choose.....and I like a lot of tea" lol. Kinda seems crappy but he always gets good service I give him that.

If you can't afford to tip when eating out then you can't afford to eat out.

I go to the chain places, Sport Clips/Super Cuts. Typically $14 or so w/ a couple dollar tip. But I let me hair grow out for awhile still. Used to use a boutique my fiance still goes too, but $26 haircuts for a male getting as little cut as as I was is just ridiculous.

It's the entitlement issue again. They think they deserve a tip no matter how bad they are.
