This IS the type of incident that keeps me from frequenting restaurants. I enjoy eating at home where I can control the environment and the ingredients put into my food. For example, I don't like excessive spicy. Restaurants typically jack up the spice to give their customers a more "memorable" experience eating out. Also, many restaurants seem to "hurry the customers out the door" for maximum profit. But, the customer wants a COMFORTABLE and RELAXED night out.
......I have also always felt that the tipping process created a "phony interaction with the waitresses or waiters"......like "pretend" friendliness.
