ONLY when deserved!
My family went out for mother's day. There are 6 of us. The restraunt we went to was extreamly packed and when we were finally seated it was in a booth towards the back.
Well they had a door open and that day it wasn't sunny and it was rather windy...thus blowing cold air in. My father joking asked the server if they were taking orders for blankets cuz it was so cold; thinking he'd get the hint. He didn't. So my father asked him if they could shut the door cuz not only our table, but many around us were FREEZING!
They didn't shut the door. So our dinning atmosphere was rather COLD. Then the waiter never bussed our table after our apetizers. We had to do it ourselves. He asked us if we wanted anything else to drink instead of just BRINGING us new drinks. Then our food came out and he never stopped by the table again to ask how the meal was or if we wanted a refill (we got ONE refill the whole time we were there).
Finally we wanted 2-go boxes and my mom said he could combine the two spaghetti plates. He said, "yeah that'd be more conveinent for me".
EXCUSE ME! Since when did it become what's conveinent for you? We're the guests here.
So on a $100 bill my father (i found out later) left a BUCK tip. Poor service + unhappy customers = NO TIP!
