I will assume that DeAngelo Williams will NOT be eating out anywhere near the Maryland area anymore!

Not after this story about his recent experience at a restaurant in Maryland. I think it is funny. But I also think if the experience was as bad as Williams said...he should have left just a single Penny. That is the universal response for bad service.

Williams was too generous..I would have asked for the manager and THEN not give a tip. One and a half hour wait on your food...including telling her four times the order and it was all wrong? Hell with that...and then go and slander him on social media? I hope she takes the time on unemployment to learn how to spell..STEELERS not "Stealers". Cripes, I made that mistake ONCE when I was about 5 years old and learned to never do that again. Damn kids these days..completely sensitive and dumb.

Yeah. Seems rather ridiculous that it would take that long, whether it was busy or not...which it was not. Then to get it wrong on top of that ? Yeah, I would have went to the manager...report the incident...and have them make it all over again the RIGHT way. But then again...who knows WHAT would be in the food that second time. Maybe that's why Williams did not report it, just rather give her next to no tip.

I look at a tip as part of my bill whenever I go out to eat. When I walk in, I plan on 20%. That number can change depending on the service. I have never left no tip, but I have left a dollar tip on a meal. What happened to Williams is one of those $1 tip experiences. I ended up paying for my drink, had them take my food off the bill and went elsewhere to eat. I do not expect perfection from wait staff, I do expect effort.

I do not give a tip. Never. I have no legal obligation to do so and therefore I don't. Not my problem if the waiter doesn't earn enough money, that's what we have trade unions, minimum wage and social security for.

(By the way, in Germany tips are usually given by most people. But not nearly in the range of 20%, maximum is around $5-10.)

So in my opinion, DeAngelo was generous even giving 75 cents as tip.

I get tired of incompetent workers expecting to be handed a good tip when they can't even do their job properly. Any more it seems like everyone expects a tip.

I always tip, and tip well, for even decent food/service. If someone completely screws things up, is rude, inattentive, etc. then the amount of their tip will decrease.

DeAngelo was correct in leaving what he did. Blasting him on social media for it was stupidity at it's finest and I see that this incompetent worker has now been fired and the restaurant owner has invited DeAngelo back with his next meal being on the house.

The restaurateur was also correct in canning the waitress, and he'll also be made out to be a bad guy for it.

Yep, it's the same entitlement attitude that makes people who seem to feel that being a burger flipper at a fast food joint is a viable career choice think that they somehow "deserve" $15 an hour when they screw up my order more often than not as well. No, it's the E-2 over in Iraq and Afghanistan dodging bullets and IEDs averaging less than $10 an hour (especially considering that they're on the clock 24x7) who deserves the big bump in pay.

You beat me to it!

At some of the nicer restaurants, wait staff don't get any wage, only tips, and some places give parts of their tips to servers and busboys. Just wondering what wait staff wages are in Germany.

In the US, servers make about $2.00 an hour salary. Sometimes more, sometimes less. So they live off the tips.

If Williams got shitty service and sounds like he got worse than that, then that waitress deserved 75¢. That's more of a slap in the face than not leaving anything at all.

read this morning that the waitress got fired...

[86WARD]

She got fired almost immediately following the incident and the owner of freed to buy Williams and guests their next meal if he would show up.

Yes. I said that in post #6 above.
