Ever see resevoir dogs? I cant stand people who dont tip good service.... Wait people get paid shit for very hard, shitty work.
I tip 20% for average service, next to nothing or nothing for poor service, and for good to great service i have tipped from 25-50%. I have been remembered fondly and taken care of VERY well as a result. i have had bartenders remember my face after 1 visit 3 months later. They remember what i drink, and i usually get extras. I consider it advance payment on future service.
When i proposed to Bree, that night we went on a horse-drawn carriage ride around boston. The driver was friggin awesome, he gave us a history lesson, made jokes, said hi to everyone we passed, he was just an all-around great person. The ride came to $60, i paid $90 and told him to keep the change. The fact that he said he couldnt take it was why i let him keep it :)
I now have a contact in boston that has offered me all kinds of hookups, especially for next month on my honeymoon :)
So continue to not tip. You will eventually get the service you deserve.
