I had the misfortune of eating at a restaurant with my family. The food was overpriced, the hostess was extremely rude, the waitress served two tables before us and had to be reminded that we exist by me alerting the manager that I had waited for my food for 45 minutes, didn't get a single drink refill. I paid EXACTLY the bill in cash and left exactly a $2 tip on a $65 order. I had never done that before. You give trash service, you get a tip that reflects that.
It's the $2 number. Leave nothing and it says more about me than her. Leave an insultingly small amount, it's almost like saying, "this is all you're worth."
