Noooo. Read my post again, dear friend! I tip very generously for good service. I'm not a tightwad, I'm just fair!
Our family doesn't eat out a whole lot. More of a treat... once every couple of weeks. So, when we do, it really pisses me off to have it ruined by a snotty waiter.
I've had a waiter treat my kid like dirt because he asks for a straw for his milk. I've been out where you could here the staff in the back hee-hawing while tables when completely untended for ten minutes or more. I've been treating like scum because I don't want a drink before dinner (by the way, I wonder what the drinks/no drinks before dinner tip ratios look like).
Maybe it's just our area, but the waiters tend to be very young. The very best waiters are those with a few years on them who need this job/tips to pay the rent.
BTW, how are you, you gorgeous thing?
Why thank you, I am just fine.... a little sunburned.
If the servers are THAT bad, then you really need to go speak to the manager. Any good restaurant manager has zero tolerance for servers who give the customers a hard time. They figure you'll tell all your friends, and they'll lose all their business as well as yours.
