I'm not against tipping per se. What got me started on my 100 post long rant was that I should be forced to tip and that there were certain situations where a tip may not be warranted.

I do tip very well when they they go above and beyond what is the very basics of waitressing. Just that my order is correct, that's all. That's all I ask. I know going in that my wait is going to be 30 minutes or more even on a slow day because food takes time to prepare.

When he or she decides they know what is best for me and what I should have or makes an ignorant comment, it's my right not to leave a tip. I should not have to announce to the whole world that I am a thin diabetic and invite more harrassment.

In fact the mere suggestion that I should be banned from a restaurant for being diabetic angers me to no end. My apologies.
