Look, PistolPaknMama said the following: "If he makes me pay tips in cash then he won't get a tip. I don't carry cash, a lot of people don't." You seemed to disbelieve that there are people who don't carry cash, so I chimed in to say that I don't either, at which you appear to take personal offense. So you have already run into two "outliers" in, what, ~20 respondents?
From what you've said, I'm betting you're one of those customers who's "just not worth it." You're likely one of those persons who always has to make his point.
And you base this assessment on... ?
And you probably feel superior walking away from an establishment that didn't somehow meet your standards.
I specifically stated that I walked away, not out of spite, but because I PHYSICALLY DIDN'T HAVE THE CASH. What does that have to do with feeling "superior"? What should I have done instead, run up a bill I knew I couldn't pay?
Wondering...do friends and family members ever say, Come on, can't we just eat, and Please don't make a scene?
LOL... Uh, no. Never. I am extraordinarily non-confrontational and I have never "made a scene" in my life. I have complained about service exactly one time, and that was by letter, after the fact.
I don't care about it, nor does my worthy friend.
If your friend has successfully run a business for that long, I bet he's less thin-skinned than you.
I'm not thin-skinned at all, but we certainly seem to have gotten off on the wrong foot. Let's just let it go. I'll admit to hitting too hard...and I think you should admit to overreacting. Just a thought, your call. Have a good day anyway.
