Maybe the service was bad.
cheap losers.
did they tip cash? who was the tab for? I assume not the team because most places do an automatic 15 percent.
Assuming that is a team bill, you would think that the amount would automatically include a gratuity, 18% or so, considering the amount of people eating which is typical add on? If not, bad job outta them and the restaurant management for not covering the staff on large groups.

How else do you get the Michael Beasley's, Bill Walker's, or forgetting that other highly rated guy from 2 years ago that was a bust to come to Manhatten? Gotta save some cash somewhere.
My thoughts exactly--anytime you have a tab that high, it's probably from a large party that automatically gets gratuity slapped on.Quote:

So do you tip more to the coffee shop waitress or skimp out on the restraunt waitress?Quote:
