I was at a sports bar and the waitress was a complete idiot. She was one of the most annoying types of idiots--a smiling idiot. A smiling idiot is someone who seemingly doesn't know that she/he is dumb as hell and either smiles because she/he is clueless or thinks the smile will distract you from the dumbness.
She was very pretty and her idiocy and smile would've worked well if we were a group of men who were eager to interact with a semi-scantily clad waitress who is dumb but will sit and chat with us as we order buffalo wings and beers. It's a sports bar, afterall. I could see she was struggling because we weren't her normal customer-base and she didn't know how to make the shift from dumb-but-pretty to good-waitress-worthy-of-tip. Her manager essentially said that she has a lot to learn in terms of dealing with different customers.
Since we had already complained to the manager and gotten her in trouble, and he took one of the items off of our bill, we still gave her 15%. She really was horrible but she's horrible in low wage, low skill, hourly labor. It's a college town so she's probably a college student who could use the 15%.
