aephi,
I was a server and had to do stuff like that before. I never gave it a second thought as to who was leaving the tip, and who was being "cheap" or whatever. As long as I got the money to cover the cost of the bill, and whatever tip someone left me, I was happy. Except for the one time this guy was a total ass to me, I gave him outstanding service(as I had a tendancy to do anyhow, because I liked making the good $$) and he left me a .01 tip...jacka--. The other people in his group had the bill split up and they even told him he was being a d--k the whole night.
On that note, my BF and I have decided that when we go out with his bros (because some are notoriously cheap, we're talking you buy a sixer for him and he says well I only want three beers so here is the money for three) we are getting seperate bills from now on. Reason being that at one of the guys birthdays recently, we went to a Steakhouse type restaurant with the bro and some of his siblings, and some of the fraternity brothers and their various significant others. My BF and I got stuck throwing down about 120 between the two of us to cover all the cheap bastards that didn't throw down except for themselves...and the guy whose birthday it was--his fiance didn't throw down ANYTHING! So we ended up having to pay for her meal...which I think was SUPER cheesey, I mean, come on!
Some people have no concept of manners or proper etiquette...
