If you ate out and the food stunk it's not your servers fault. Maybe don't eat there anymore but tip, for Christ's sake.
If the mate sucks than by all means feel free to stiff 'em. Otherwise, pony up Cheapskate!

Fishguy, I agree 100%. I was trying to quote a previous post and screwed up. I always tip and leave 1/2 the pool on my lucky days.
