Would You Have Tipped In This Situation?

Servers in CA do make minimum wage, if service is that bad I don't tip, I've done that 2 maybe 3 times. Both were very deserving of not getting a tip and yes, managers were spoken to and nothing was done about either situation until well after the fact (ie I emailed the managers after leaving because the managers on duty didn't do anything about the issues I was having and the lead managers handled the issues). I still upwards of 20% when we eat out and so do all the people I ever dine out with. I've never heard of anyone tipping less in CA because servers make minimum wage, that's just not standard.

OP I would have left a small tip but not much more than you did, in my instances of no tip the issues were much much worse.q
