My friend and I went to a very nice steakhouse to celebrate his birthday last weekend. The food was good, everything was great except for the service. The waiter was probably in his early 60s, old enough to have a sense of decorum.
After some minor flaws (insisting on going on and on about the wine and cocktail list after I told him that Pepsi was fine, forgetting my friend’s appetizer, slow with refills), he presented the check. I reached for my card in my wallet and this RUDE, presumptuous, sorry excuse for a waiter, gives us both a long look and goes “Oh. It’s your birthday and you have to pay?”
My poor friend was totally caught off guard and he started explaining to this dipshit that he was actually paying until I cut him off by saying there was no need to answer such a rude question. The waiter scuttled away and what was going to be a decent tip turned into slightly under a 4% tip. You know he was whining about his tip to everyone when we left!! 4% IS THE STANDARD TIP!
