I live in New York so it's second nature for me to leave tips. Tip the waiter/waitress, the cab driver, the bellhop, the concierge, bartender, etc... As many know we have 8.25% sales tax here so the easiest way to tip is to just double the tax (my little tip for you folks out of town coming to the Big Apple).
However there was this one time when I refused the tip. I was out with my girl having drinks and dinner at this restaraunt. My food came out cold so I sent it back to reheat it, the service was slow, had to ask to refill our water glasses, etc... all in all the service was not too good. When the bill came I left exactly 15%. Waiter comes to pick up the check and we are getting up ready to leave. On my way out the waiter comes after me telling that I didn't leave enough tip and this is his livelyhood. At first I thought I didn't hear correctly and ask him to repeat what he just said. Tells me again and hands me back the tab, I grab a pen and cross out the tip leaving him nothing. Hand it back to him and leave. Was feeling pretty bad about it but if you have the balls to come up to me asking for more tip after such a poor service you gave me, you are forcing me to be a jerk.
