I'm not entirely sure that the service was as bad as he says (though the comment at the end was out of line), but that's not the point. I could be wrong here, I often am. The point is that this guy has a crazy idea that if you don't like your job, you can just leave and get a better one. If your boss isn't paying you adaquately, you can just call in the authorities and everything will be all right, because there's this law.

I'm not sure if I'm laughing or crying here, but whatever I'm doing, at least I'm doing it in the real world.

I didn't tip today because I had bad service. Shock horror!

Of course though, I'm in a country where waitstaff get real wages, and tipping isn't customary. As a waitress I've been on about £4.50 - 5.75 an hour (approx $9 to $11.50), and in a year and a half I've only ever been tipped once.

That's crap in London. Demand a raise! :>

I tip almost everywhere, if there's a degree of service involved (so nipping in to the take away to pick up my rung-in order ain't gonna get no financial love from me), and still at the percentage I'd give back in the US as well. I probably get strange looks as I'm leaving as they wonder what I want them to do...

Incidentally, I've never seen you anywhere before, but I like you purely on the basis that your shortened name naturally makes me look for a shrubber.
