I've never sent food back unless it's something I'm allergic too, or raw.

Frankly I don't even care if they are all that passionate. I get that for most it's a job, not a career and they are working toward something else or are just trying to make ends meet. But that said, being rude is a terrible way to ensure your living wage.

Depends on how it was said I would think, and if they found it derogatory, but I was just making a point about tipping at large.

That would be false, I generally tip 20ish percent.

The rare occasion that I don't leave a tip I usually have no intention of going back.

I don't really care about the name calling. I just think it's funny that I'm saying tipping shouldn't be considered mandatory, and everyone assumes I never tip if the waiter brings me diet coke instead of regular coke.

If the servers service is poor how is that NOT their fault.

I don't keep track but since I've been at my current job which takes me on the road to strange restaurants more often than I'd like, probably 2 or 3 times in 5 years?

In a way, if I don't make sales because I'm curt and rude to clients I don't get paid what I would if I was in a great mood.

Oh no, some internet shlub called me an asshole. How will I explain this to my children.

I tend to be a regular at places I enjoy going to, so I haven't run into an issue of not tipping at my regular hangouts, but I get your point.

Their job is to serve. I'm sorry but lots of shit happens in people's lives every day, don't carry it to work with you, same as you don't come home and smack your wife around if you had a shit day at work. If your job is to be friendly and cordial, I should be able to expect that without making excuses for you.

? Why because of a random comment on an article about Warren Sapp tipping? You're right I'ma monster.

You're reading wayyy too much into my not tipping. I'm out with friends or loved ones I dont' really feel like sitting and discussing how I can have things improved with my local manager at whatever place I'm at.

If it's a big portion of their income then they should have been better at their job. I'm not saying "Oh you brought the wrong thing" I mean I've had some genuinely shitty waiters/waitresses who I have not tipped.

Eh, I've not tipped before. I'm sorry I don't feel tipping is mandatory, you are in the service industry, if you give bad service I give a bad tip.

In other news, scientists have proven that the sky is indeed a shade of blue, and bears do in fact shit in the woods. More at 11

If she felt so negatively about the community that populated her school, why not go to a different school? If it is prestigious I'm sure she could have gone to an equally good university without the "right-wing, openly misogynistic, etc etc" type people. At least less of them.

Well the fetish chat stuff is bizarre and disturbing, but I wouldn't say that engaging in that kind of talk equals planning a murder.

Eh, whatever. It's art. Bad art, but art nonetheless. Some moron will spend the 30k on it for no reason other than it's "edgy" and there will be another article for people to loose their shit over.
