Oh, geez.

I can't believe that--you've got to be kidding me! How
rude! I would
not have left a tip...or maybe I would have, but it wouldn't have been any more than the amount of change I could dig out from under the seat of my car. To embarrass someone like that is extremely impolite...I can't believe she took the plate off your table! Why don't you write a letter to the local paper?
