Would you leave a tip? long-sorry

[Missy1961]

No tip, talk to the manager, and might never go back.

Not A Freakin' Penny................

No I would not have left a tip and I would have explained why to the manager as well. If I ever stiff anyone I always share with them or the management why.

Nope. I do like the idea of leaving a couple of pennies or something to that effect. That way it looks like you knew what you were doing and not like you forgot to tip.

I probably would have left a nice note thanking her for the excellent service ~ left a couple pennies with the note explaining that is to help her pay for the food you never got.........and left..........

I try to give the server the benefit of the doubt, as I am one myself. But, if you did not see your server for a full hour, something was definitely wrong. You were told she was "on break?" I think I would have point blank asked the manager where she was and what she was doing. I can't imagine a waitress going "on break" when she's only been working an hour. Where I work we get breaks when we're not busy, but even then if we have tables we still take care of them, we don't leave them to someone else. We never get a real, uninterrupted break. We are always hopping up and down to give refills, dessert, etc.

Maybe something was seriously wrong, and that's why you didn't see the server and they were trying to "cover" for her. I don't know.

I wouldn't leave a tip though, since you weren't adequately taken care of.
And I probably wouldn't be in any hurry to go back to that restaurant.

i would have left her an insulting tip as well, just to make a point...if you leave nothing she might think that you forgot to tip her, a few pennies makes much more of an impact
