    "I tipped an acquaintance 10% at a restaurant, now he’s telling mutual friends I’m cheap and a bad tipper"

    We see each other at parties and say hi. That's the entire extent of our relationship. Recently went out to dinner where he was my server. Dude was a sh server. Got my order wrong, never checked on the table, refilled waters, and was busy mingling and taking shots with another table of people that he knew.

    The bill was $160 and I gave him $16. You don't automatically get 20% just because I know you, I'm also not expecting you go above and beyond. Just do your job correctly. And to go around telling others that I'm cheap who then brought it back up to me - off. Edit: This happened in the US.

    Chuybits If I were the server, I would want to make sure my friends and acquaintances were taken care of. Sounds like he got more than he deserved.

    egnards "You're correct, XYZ did not get my normal tip, because XYZ was inattentive at their job, unprofessional, and too busy getting drink with tables of friends to make sure my table was taken care of. Based on him talking about it, i reaffirm that I did the right thing."

    They fired the first shot, I'd have no problem saying that.

    Darklydreaming... I wait tables as a career. If he is taking shots instead of tending to his tables he deserves more than a bad tip. Making a mistake on an order happens and honestly a good server HATES up. It kind of sounds like this guy is there to party and mingle then do his job at his convenience.

    I wonder if his friends were cringing as he recounted the story

    NachoOooo0o So his service was bad... and his social tact is even worse.

    Richard Dingers To anyone who brings up the fact that you were "cheap" with that guy, just inform them you were being generous because of how terrible he is at his job

    GaryG7 NTA Tell everybody that he did a bad job. Be specific so they realize you're not just saying he did a bad job to justify your tip. Most of all, tell him. If you go to that place enough, tell the manager. If service is very bad, I've always notified the manager.
