When I was a bartender we always had a little special surprise for stiffs when they showed their face again,and they always did since stiffs are self-absorbed morons.Also I worked at a fancy restaurant on the Jersey Shore that got alot of wealthy patrons and they always took care of the help.The biggest stiffs were always kids or big mouth libs.
The one time I can remember NOT leaving a tip was when the waiter was a sloppy looking mouthbreather with stringy, greasy hair wearing an obama hope and change button.
I wonder if folks know that bartenders and servers don’t really get a salary at all.That measley little 2.13 an hour vanishes after you claim your tips every week for the IRS.When I worked behind the bar I got a paycheck for ZERO dollars every single week.The only income you make at all comes from the tip.On the other hand you do get to mess with alot of snotty libs
And as you mentioned, the wait staff REMEMBERS. They have minds like elephants when it comes to this. All the people that say they don't tip and visit the same restaurant over and over...well that extra seasoning may be "special". I'm not saying it is right but it happens.
Besides working in food services everyone needs to watch the movie "Waiting"
You can be charged for assault in many jurisdictions if you adulterate the product. I don't think exceptions are made if the vic is a moron or deserves it.
Just out of curiosity, do you mean stiffed, as in the tip, or stiffed, as in the check?
