I worked in a pretty good place but there was a woman who came in and would give you a pair of crappy earrings. She had some kind of boutique and was apparently getting rid of the crappy ones. Of course you would thank her to be polite but she didn't tip then.

Word did get out among the wait staff about her but there was really nothing to be done about it.

I'll let my video speak for itself:

The idiotic computer at work goes insane now whenever someone asks for separate checks! Now once you're done separating everything it automatically prints out several copies of the UNseparated check. If there are 10 people at the table, it automatically prints out 10 copies of the SAME UNseparated check. Then you have go to each of the NOW separated checks, open each one and print them out individually. So now you have TEN copies of the same check to crumble up and throw away and TEN separated checks to hand out! And you have to stand there for FIVE minutes doing all this useless stuff when before all you had to do was separate them and print them out! An utter waste of time!

Stupid quote of the day,"I said a COUPLE! I did NOT say how many!"

There are many, but for me, it's giving the verbal tip in lieu of an appropriate monetary tip, like I can use that to pay my mortgage. If someone doesn't want to pay for table service, which in most cases is not included in the bill, then they should not go to places that give table service! They should stop taking up the server's table and riping them off. Let me tell you a liitle story that happened to me.

I was waiting on a mature four-top, of which two were celebating their anniversary. None of them had been to the restaurant previously. I showed them how our menu works, offered suggestions and answered many questions, all of which were fine. That's part of my job. Everyone had a great time, straight through the flaming dessert. The time came to present the check and the praises began. They even made a point of telling the manager how great everything was. As I returned to the table to gather the CC slip they continued to rave and complement me about how wonderful everything was. As they were getting up to leave I thanked them for coming and before I could react the older lady grabbed me, kissed me on the cheek, and gave me a big hug. Not a friendly little summer camp of a hug but one of those family-reunion-creepy-relative type hugs. I was speechless and stunned. Afterwards, I was hoping for an equally enthusiastic gratuity. I returned to the service station, opened the check presenter and there it was, an almost 10 percent tip! (WOOT!)
