I've never waited tables before, but as someone who works a customer service job, this is just BS.

I have bartended and waited tables you never now the whole story. Watiers and bartenders that think they are entitled to a certain percent general got shit like this. If you frame of mind is I am at zero percent to start and it is my job to wow the guest to a higher percent nine out of ten times this doesn't happen to you.
In Hilton head I had come in all the time he did all the electric work for heniz field he retired off that contract. Whatever his bill was that was your tip amount.

My dad was the tip to the service amount, he even gave a waitress a penny once, the service was so bad. But considering a lot of the people I know who did/do wait tables, were the struggling type, I tend to tip base at 15% and then move up from there (which is rare when/if I do but it can happen). But especially when you have over $100 tab, I'm gonna chalk it up to someone just being a big asshat to only tip you $1.33 I mean I'd even tip a shitty server $5 if I had a bill like that. I don't think servers and bartenders should EXPECT a certain amount, but I don't think as a customer, you should tip shitty and then be a dick enough to tell them to get a real job. At that point you've gone from dissatisfied customer (if he was unsatisfied with her service) to a flat out asshole.

i served in my younger days, i have been screwed several times but never that hard. once i got 4 or 5 coins on $45 (i accidentally brought the wrong wine to a woman, she told me, i had the right wine in front of her in under a minute). and once i got $5 on $95, this one pissed me off (they told my manager i was doing a great job and that i was one of the best servers they had ever had). and then there was my best table ever, 10-12 redskins fans, i made over $300 off that table, one guy handed me a c-note and apologized for his drunk friends, i looked at him like "are you sure?!?" and he said yeah awesome.

If the service was really that bad, I would have called over a manager and tried to work things out that way. No need for a dick move like that.

The tip amount was not the dick move the get a real job was. Ask GM Scud how much his servers are pulling I am sure it is plenty enough to be a real job.
Even without the comment, a $1.33 tip on a $133 tab is a dick move in my book.

That's the rich but sad irony. It is a real enough job for the person to expect to be brought food. But when it comes to a tip from that person, it's not a real job anymore. The hypocrisy is thick.

Without knowing the whole story you really can't say. You would still tip someone even if they did a awful job; I wouldn't and have not and I have been the guest and the waiter
