Poor service is 10-15% tip- don’t do that.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Welcome to the thread. Lots of heated points being made here. But your point is one the the most absurd and ridiculous ones yet.
You would tip and reward a waiter for giving you poor service?
I maybe could see it might not be her fault if the kitchen screwed up. And maybe I would tip her if - after speaking to the manager - I got at least one free meal out of the deal.
But you said service. As in from the waitstaff. And only a fool tips a person who served them poorly.
I’ve been known to leave one penny, mostly it’s not directly the fault of the server so i give 10-15 when poor, but if it’s the server, one penny.
