Especially if I was expecting a tip from the person. Yikes!

How much did you tip?

Here's a tip... don't insult paying customers.

Charity never faileth. A good tip might help the kid move out of mom & dad's

Which might make him think that his U degree is paying off lol

Me too. No tip + fill out the online survey.

Lol, leave a negative reply because the waiter cracked a joke?

Same here...

Yeah. I've never not tipped, but I wouldn't have in that case.

You should leave a generous tip, and a note that says to apply it

Part of the contract with a server that makes paying his wage via tips acceptable is that he treats me with a modicum of

I guess? But "I hate that shirt" doesn't need to be met with

The Dude Abides

A lot depends on tone and delivery. If his conduct is something I would never do, I think it's reasonable to judge it to

TaiJuan

2/5/16 11:33pm

Except it was followed by "I hate BYU" that seems a bit more over the top.

There's a line between being offended (I'm not) and finding someones conduct to cross social lines. You and others want

2/5/16 11:18pm

Do think a lot depends on tone but this did not sound like it was "light" at all.

Just assume it's light until it's really obvious that it's not

I don't "bust the chops" of strangers and I expect the same courtesy. I don't do things that I wouldn't want done to me.

I'll disagree

I guess there's at least two types of fans: those who find it appropriate to insult perfect strangers with no provocatio

Saying "I hate that shirt and BYU" is more than banter. If he says something

What does that say about a fan base when it doesn't shock me at all that a Ute would say such a thing...

Max did overstate things, but like a handgrenade, he was in the ballpark

You should have drawn an upside down Miami U sign in the tip column

I don't see how doing or saying bad to this waiter would help. Why make him mad? A bad reaction from the OP would only

The manager probably would have given the server a high-five.

Are you serious? You would ask for a manager because of this? Man BYU fans are sensitive

2/6/16 8:48am

I wouldn't have tipped that little punk, just to prove a point that he was rude

AntiSNOT

2/6/16 12:56am

And you would have made an enemy. Pretty sure we don't need more enemies. Just tell the kid you're proud of BYU and

HarlemCoug

A tip is for excellent service. Insulting the customer isn't excellent service.

oh brother - no wonder they dislike us. I even dislike us... I'm asking you please, do not wear BYU gear in public.

HarlemCoug

What is wrong with the concept of not tipping a waiter who has said stupid

Real G Man

2/6/16 9:22am

When you wear Blue in public - I'd pref that fellow Cougs took the high road. The kid said something

So the one not tipping is the one who created an enemy, not the one who caused

He is already an enemy

LDTemplar

2/6/16 11:27am

why not try to make a friend? why solidify his bias?

HarlemCoug

2/6/16 11:51am

So if the waiter told you he hated your kid (went to the same school) you'd tip?

Cougarrrs

2/6/16 9:31am

Amen to That !!

LDTemplar

2/6/16 11:25am

If you're offended by this waiter's comments then you've taken offense where none was intended.

None was intended? Really? It sounds like that's exactly what he was intending.
