We notice that big complainers are not those who would make it in competitive employment. They probably have tenure somewhere or work for the government.
If the restaurant is not good, it will close. That is how it works. You don't need to have a green fit or a bad spell. It is wise to point out when there are foreign objects in your food or that your shoes stick to the floor, but do it quietly to the manager and don't act like you are expecting a free meal or a comp.

I definitely do NOT tip if the service is bad. I do tip if the service is good even if the food is not. That is a very rare occurrence. A tip should be compensation for a job well done - or at least adequately done.
As a former government worker - 26 active military and 16 as a civilian working for the military and husband of a teacher with tenure, I cannot appreciate your comment above. There were far more good employees than bad in my slice of the government and far more good teachers with tenure than bad.
