This, but it doesn't sound like this was the situation. Since you saw it in advance, I'd be super embrassed to be seen with him and would have left extra to cover for it. I also would never dine with them again.

Did you check the bill closely? When it's a group, they often include the tip in the bill these days.

And I find most people get over the top with the tipping because they believe they are being benevolent and giving alms to the poor. I have found that really rich people just don't approach it that way.


Oh, I see. The really rich are respecting the workers by tipping stingily. Got it. /s

Uh, OP's friend didn't tip at all. They're a mingy cheapskate and deserve the attendant loss of respect. I'd never dine out with them again.


This. I probably wouldn't blow up the friendship over it, but I'd never eat out with them again in a restaurant with the uncivilized behavior.


Same. I would think there is something wrong with the guy.

Tipping as a practice puts the economic risk of running a business onto the workers and lets the owners run the business for far less and profit more than the would otherwise. Don't say that the restaurants would close - that's a restaurant owner talking point.
In Australia, for example, restaurant staff are paid fairly, tipping is not used and restaurants still exist.



Racist? How is tipping racist ?

It won't change until people stop tipping. You have it backwards. Let people do what they feel is right and stop judging.


"I am being a cheap a$$hole, but you shouldn't judge me!"

That's not how this works.

People that don’t tip well are trash. I tip 40-50 percent but you should tip at least 20

There must be a mentally ill poster on here who just can't stop obsessing over tipping.
