The 4,600 was in Austrailan dollars. This story was reported in Australia.

It’s sad all around what they are doing to trump legally. But especially in Georgia.

They don't. But why should anyone? These servers are making
what, $15 to $20 an hour, plus tips.

Bump that.

“They got one free mooch off you.”

Lol.

It is a fair trade—I found out who the jerks are—a forever lesson.

That means I get to never trust them again for anything—ever.

If the mooch was bad enough I can even make sure that every important person in town hears about it as well.

If I choose to play hardball they will pay—over and over and over and over again....

Reputation is priceless—particularly in small towns.

Yeah, I think my early estimate of $50.00 was probably high. If they do tip anything it isn’t based on a percentage. I guess when you have the mindset you are owed to begin with its easy to not tip at all. They are also loud when in a tableful.

My son works as a bartender and makes $11 an hour plus tips. In the evening he makes good money on the tips. The other day he had to work the lunch shift and early dinner as a server. The new cook was really slow. My son had $400 worth of orders (as well as making them their drinks) and got $2 in tips.

I meant thats their strategy, they know they will only get one. They just keep going to new, different couples. Tuats why they dont care, they knew you’d never eat with them again.
