So Friday night I went out drinking with the guys. i.e. They got beers and I had a Coke. Anyway, we got some hot wings (that weren't really that hot, but that's fine by me. The place wasn't busy at all but the waitress was in a really bad mood and it appeared as though she did not like us. It took way too long for our food to arrive and we got blue cheese to dip the stuff in, even after specifically stating that we did not want blue cheese. Oh well, that was no big deal, I suppose. We got some wet-naps that were not moist in the slightest. In fact, I would assume Barbra Bush's cooter is more moist than those wet-naps, but that can hardly be the fault of the waitress, the same could be said, to a lesser degree, about the time it took for the food to arrive.
Anyway, she did one thing that kinda ticked me off. I paid for the wings in cash and got exactly seven dollars in change. When do you ever get exact change without using exact cents? We consulted the receipt and did some math to conclude that she jipped me fifteen cents. Now, I usually feel bad for waitresses and hate how some employers see tips as an excuse to pay them minimum wage. Well, she was hardly a charming hostess and as far as I was concerned she took her own tip from me.
I leave this question to you: was fifteen cents a proper tip or was I just a butt hole?
