That'll teach them to leave empty packets on the table. If you're going to do something like that, be discrete about it.

The server noticed and told them he was going to have to charge them 75 cents each.
How petty. I think the server should have minded his own business of waiting on tables.

The two people got angry and asked for the manager.
Ha! That's really funny! Come on! They should have just paid the 75 cents (each) and then subtract it from the tip.

The couple wasn't being cheap, in my opinion. If they were cheap, they wouldn't be eating at that restaurant in the first place. Would they?

Those people didn't take anything from the restaurant. What they did was order a meal and pay for it. The restaurant owner should have known better than to make an issue out of it. It would only become a lose/lose situation. Did anyone win as a result of that unpleasant exchange? No!
