As I'd worked at restaurants all through high school, I know exactly what you're talking about. That being said, I know exactly what constitutes good or bad service. If someone takes an incredibly long time to serve me in a place I'd never been before (because I realize one can be known, after a while, to be a bad tipper in a familiar place) they are just not going to get a tip, regardless of the low wage. I didn't choose their occupation for them but I did choose to do into their establishment. I'm not talking about being waited on hand and foot (I realize how busy things can get), but just to be treated in a fairly timely manner and politely. I've been in places where the bar maid stared daggers into me for the simple request "When you get a chance, can I get a LaBatt here, please?" when she happened to be on the phone talking to who knows whom. I wasn't eavesdropping but I could tell by her demeanor that the call definitely wasn't business-related; therefore, no future tips for her. Is that so wrong? Also, your earlier reference to watered-down drinks is one of the principal reasons why I usually order beer.
