She couldn't take it, she used to sneak money under the plate and stuff, but eventually she ended it with him. It's a bad precedent for other things, like Christmas and birthday presents. He was opposed to buying flowers too because it was just a ruse to spend money on dead plants.

Only once have I stiffed a waitress. We were eating someplace I was a regular at on a weekday afternoon. There was one other occupied table. It took us 45 minutes to have our order taken, 45 minutes to get the food and 45 minutes to get the bill. The orders were wrong but eaten anyway because she never checked to see if everything was OK.
I once had a roommate who wouldn't tip. If he and 2 other people went out to eat he would slide the tips that they left individually to the middle of the table. After a while, we started going out to eat hush hush only when he was in the bathroom.
