Can't say I agree about stiffing the waiter, but I also can't say I agree with waitstaff expecting a tip like it was an entitlement and grumbling loud enough for the patron to hear when they did not get one.
And in a lot of restaurants, a waiter that tells the chef that the chef screwed up is itching to dodge the business end of a flying knife.
