POLL

You're at a restaurant, you get your food and hate it. The server takes it away apologetically, and offers something else. When you refuse another entree and decide to leave, with NOTHING to pay for, do you tip?

Of course you do.......at least as much as you would have had you eaten the food you ordered.

Of course I would tip. It's not the waitress's fault that I didn't like my food and she still did her job.

Yeah, because your server did a good job. It's not her fault the food is crap. Except if you act like that you're probably an asshole (unless the food is really, really bad) so if you're an asshole, you're totally not going to tip.

Yes.

-I hate to hate my food, but when I do, I realize it has nothing to do with the server. Serving is the server's speciality - cooking is the kitchen's speciality.

-This kind of happened to me in the Keys, and only once. I didn't touch a lot of my plate, and my server was concerned for me. Like an aunt. She was so nice about it. I never speak up, and she was like, "find your voice!" It was charming.

It totally depends on the waiter. Was there any eye rolling?

When it comes to a person who honestly does not like their food, and it's usually very apparent, there is NO eye rolling. In fact, I try and save all of that bullshit for the kitchen where I can't get caught.
