Well again I think everyone in the US should tip. I mean, if the service is horrible, by some freak, OK, nevermind then. But that usually rarely happens. And if it ever did to me, I'd just not leave a tip, wouldn't do the penny thing on the table, just because I feel it would only make things worse, obviously the waiter/waitress is in some distress in the first place, why make it worse?
I say this cause there is this one restaurant I go to, regularly. Well I actually stopped going every single weekend because my omelette was just not what I wanted, I mean you get four things to put on it, and I just chose cheese, but lots of it, cause the omelette is HUGE, but they got to skimping on the cheese so much it was ridiculous. But I never left a bad tip, just started going somewhere else for a few months. Well, when we went back finally after all those months, we got the "stink eye" from this one waitress LOL. She was always usually nice, although kind of a butch waitress so only so nice, hard to see a smile on this woman's face anytime LOL, but she was always a rockin waitress. And she did not give us bad service when we returned, just that stink eye LOL. It kinda makes me laugh now when we go there and she's our waitress LOL. But again, I always tip her very well no matter the stink eye. I dunno, maybe it's just me, but I feel for most any workers, no matter where they are or where they are working, they are like me, working someplace dealing with people every day one way or the other, working a job that is not interesting or fun at all, just making a living. I know what that's like, and I feel for us all that have to do it. Tip? Hell yeah. If I don't have the money to tip I won't even go in the restaurant, I just can't do that to someone.
