Reply #24: It was offensive because you said I was "not compassionate" [View All]

[Rabrrrrrr]

And considering my high tolerance of bad service, and my normally high tipping attitude, that was, on your part, an offensive statement.

I'll give anyone the benefit of the doubt, but, as low as waiter/waitress wages are, I don't buy into the bullshit attitude that they should be rewarded for treating me like a war criminal because some jingoistic ill-placed liberal attitude tells me I should offer my left arm to anyone who asks for it.

Screw it.

And I don't work in food service any more, but I've been in the service industry - in a capacity that DOES NOT include tipping - for twenty years, and I still believe in treating people like human beings. But that's just me. If you want to think that a waiter/waitress has some kind of inherent, god-given right to a tip, no matter how they treat people, then so be it.

But I don't buy it. If you think they do, then we have no ability to be in dialogue.
