Redhead-

Interesting encounter in NYC. It has inspired me to share mine in NYC.

I was in the village in NYC and my brother, my wife & I stopped into a small restaurant. We were looking for a coffee shop, but my bother wanted to go in. He visits the city often being a NJ resident, and told the host we were just there for coffee, so as not to take up a booth. My wife ordered a cheese tomato sandwich thing and the three of us had coffee.
My brother paid and was short-changed by $2 and change! Since we had not had decent service at all, we took the tip out of the amount he shorted us and left him $1. He walked over and said "was the a problem with the service?" flapping the dollar about so all could see. So I said, loud enough for anyone watching, Yes. And we took the rest of your tip from the amount you short-changed us.
He tried denying it, but we just walked out.
