Of course A)
It's called the hospitality industry for a reason - falsely accusing and potentially embarrassing paying customers should never happen. Again, it should be kicked up the chain of command so that corrective action can be taken to help ensure that it does not happen again.

Wait, did someone just say wait staff get paid $2 an hour? Are you fucking serious? That's bullshit. Why the hell would anyone do the job if they get $2 and possibly tips? Your income entirely fluctuates based on the owners ability to advertise and market and the kitchen staffs ability to cook? That's absurd.

I'd keep walking and hope they tried to physically stop me. $$$$$$

Btw besides the regular tip this year I noticed the Mondrian hotel on sunset added a 10% service charge. Like wtf?!?! Isn't that like a double tip?
I'm not surprised. At 5-star American restaurants, it's fairly common to see bills with separate tips for the captain and the wait staff.

There was 12 of us, I paid the tab, and then everyone pitched in either a $10 bill or a $20 bill. The tip must have been well over $100...
I hate it when they do that

This is a tough one. My response would probably be contingent on how much wine I had for dinner.

I actually think you should take the hit and move on if that happens to you as a waiter, just make it up with the rest of the tables.

I can clearly see the peeps in this thread that have NEVER worked in the restaurant industry, that's fucking hilarious!

I do agree with you on some level, It depends on the quality of the restaurant, try to do that as a waiter at Morton's or Sullivan's and your ass will get Fired on the spot!

The price is right? I could give a shit about the rest of it. I don't go out for the experience as much as the food. If they go well out of there way to be nice and everything is perfect except the food is shit? No way i'm going back though. Some of my favourite places have a nut bar running them, but good food rules all for me.

I can understand this being an issue if the place is really expensive and a lot of the price is reflected upon that though, but in general no I don't care about that stuff.
I see if from a completely different point of view. I'm a fairly decent cook and my wife is an AMAZING cook. (For example, If I feel like a lobster thermador and beef wellington, my wife can whip up fantastic renditions of both on pretty short notice.... and the list of dishes is pretty endless.)

I can get food as good, or often better, at home then I can at a restaurant. The reason why we go to them once in a while is for the service and overall experience.

I'm an amazing cook myself, food is an obsession with me. But I'd be kidding myself if I said that I can do something better than a well seasoned chef can. Yes I go out to dinner sometimes for convenience and eat at places where i know i can do better at home but again, if the price is reasonable and the food is great i'm coming back. If the service is outstanding and the food is shit I never will. If its a more expensive place i would expect more of course, as would any of us.

I'm happy for you that you don't have to care about price. I have different priorities.

I eat at a Vietnamese place in my neighborhood once a month or so, and have for the three years I have lived there. The service is terrible, but I don't care because it's the best Vietnamese joint in the area by far. I'll deal with crummy service if the food is legit.

It depends on my mood but I would go with A in most situations.

I would speak directly with the manager and insist on all kinds of free meals... and would get them.
