this is interesting to me

most of my friends happen to be in the service industry. they over tip. i over tip. however, if i received VERY bad service i most likely would NOT leave a tip (if it was the servers fault. i know sometimes it's not. i know it could be the kitchen and i know how to tell the difference. most do not). i'd also let them know why i wasn't leaving a tip. by having this couple arrested, i don't think the restaurant is going to be making any friends

since we're talking about it............if you're in hartford do go to ichiban a japanese korean restaurant. my friend amy and i went saturday after her shift at the half door. GREAT SERVICE, GREAT FOOD and lots of left overs (which tasted even better the second day). we left a very generous tip because the service was very generous.




Couple arrested over 'theft' for refusing to tip in restaurant
By Paul Thompson

Leslie Pope and John Wagner were handcuffed and hauled away after they failed to leave a restaurant's mandatory 18 per cent gratuity - totalling $16 (£10) - for their party of eight.

"Nobody wants to be forced to pay a tip or be arrested for terrible service," said Miss Pope, 22.

The couple, students at Moravian College in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, had joined six friends at the town's Lehigh Pub for dinner. They claimed they had to wait almost an hour for their meal to arrive and Miss Pope said the service was so shoddy they had to get their own cutlery and napkins......
