ROB waitresses we have known.

I stopped in one of my hometown clubs last night for several reasons. One, it's recently has been bought so I was curious to see what changes have occurred. A new facade outside is being done, some interior renovations also I noted. While seated, a waitress that has been there a long time and who should know better charged me full price for my drink, even though on Saturdays, it has been a $4 special on Saturday nights for a long time. I thought little of it, figured it was one of the changes until the DJ announced the special. I went up to the bar and asked the bartender what the price was. The waitress who saw me approach the bartender started panicking. Bartender told me it was $4, I told him the waitress just charged me $7 and I wanted to talk to the manager. Bartender goes and gets the manager, I explain to him the event, he goes over to panicked waitress and talks to her, he comes back and apologizes and tells me the waitress will return the overage and get me a free beer. A simple mistake you might say, other than I've known the individual has worked there a long time and knows better. She's always felt she should be overtipped, when she collected the VIP room $5 charge, she would ask for a tip. Up yours, bitch !! Cashiers don't get tipped.

The other circumstances described above, I've seen happen. It's up to the customer to be vigilant, then report any rip offs to a manager. Bringing adequate change beforehand is very helpful.
I'm sure all could come up with examples.
Non-SC tipping areas that don't make sense:
- Airport baggage check in -- what is their job other than to give me my boarding pass and take my baggage?
- Subway Sandwich Artist -- seriously, make my freaking sandwich, take my money, give my change.
- Taxi Driver -- Every Las Vegas cab driver has tried to take the tunnel or some other long way from the airport to the strip. Charging me extra does not garner a tip!
If you provide excellent service or products above and beyond what I'm paying for, I will gladly offer a tip of 20%. If you are taking away my 1/3 full $6 beer without asking, you shouldn't expect a tip. I'm imagining a stand-up routine like Jeff Foxworthy: "if you..., you don't deserve a tip!"
Some minimum wage fast food HS dropout that can't grasp how to give the correct change when a bill is $7.14 and I give him/her $10.25, AFTER they have rung up just the $10!
