I certainly agree with this. This behavior is just ignorant. My daughter has been a server in the past also, the stories she has told are upsetting. They work so hard only to be slighted so many times. If you can afford to eat out, you can afford to leave an appropriate tip. If you can't you should keep your sorry self at home.
I mean really, who do you think you are getting over on?? The teenager who has to work to buy her/his own things, the single mom, the young man or woman putting themselves through school. Or the older woman/man whose income doesn't stretch far enough at the end of the month.
There is nothing worse, in my opinion, than a cheapskate. Makes you wonder if these are the people who also take all the sugar packets off the table and take them home????
Sorry, I just stepped off the soapbox. Just having seen my daughter so upset just sends me over the edge.
