Wow.
That's bad service. However I do not tip in those circumstances. A few months back I went to a steak place in town. We go there fairly regularly, so we kinda know the general routine.
We get this punk ass kid, and he has to be reminded to bring us the bread that comes before the meal, our drinks, and then he gets part of the order wrong. The manager, or someone else ends up bringing us out our food, and getting us refills.
In the end we had to ask for the check twice. I waited 15 minutes, and then go up to the counter. I ask for the check there, but she tells me the waiter has to give it to us. She goes and finds him. He comes up, gives me the check, I give him my card. He runs it. Gives me the thing to sign. I do, and for tip, put a big fat 0 with a line through it. Then circle my amount for the bill.
He asks me if I did that because I left the tip at the table? I told him, "No. The tip is you give better service. Have a nice day."
My friend dies laughing. We leave. He stands there in awe.
