Had a waiter confront me outside over a tip

Went to a restaurant with a few of my friends last night, just to grab a few drinks and appetizers, a place called BJ's.

We end up staying for about 4 hours, from about 6-10, and for the 3 of us our total ended up being almost $200 (mainly alcohol).

We usually try and go out once a month and every month it's someone else's turn to cover the bill, and this time it was my turn.

So, figuring that even tho it was $200, I figured it's not that fucking hard to bring out 3 damn drinks at a time and we only had 2 small appetizers. I only had $5 cash on me and decided that would suffice considering it was just mainly alcohol purchased.

So after I pay with my card, I leave the $5 on the table, we walk out and sit on the bench while my friends smokes a cigarette and we continue to catch up. The waiter comes out side a minute later in a frenzy, screaming about this and that and how I'm a cheap fuck and how I shouldn't go out to eat if I can't afford to tip and shoves me to the ground.

He ends up saying "$5 on a $200 bill is unacceptable and I should go fuck myself", and then he goes back inside. My friends ask if $5 is really all I left? And I said yes, and they said why didn't you leave a tip on the receipt with your card? So I guess they took his side in the matter and they talked me out of going inside the restaurant and complaining.

How much do you goes tip for drinks? Was I in the wrong?


Cliffs : Went out with friends
Drank a lot
Tipped $5 on $200 bill because mainly alcohol
Waiter tries to fight me outside
 
lol @ tipping people

I simply let them live
 
$5 tip for $200 worth of drinks/food?

The waiter should've touched you with the jab instead of shoving you.
 
He shoved you to the ground? Uppercut time
 
Literally none of this happened.
 
Yeah man, you're a giant asshole for that tip. You know how many other good tipping customers he missed out on because you were there taking up that table for 4 hours? 5 dollars is incredibly small for a 200 dollar bill and I'm happy your friends shamed you.

I mean goddamn, you should be embarrassed.

wow... that's a real piece of shit move. 2.5% tip on a 200$ tab where you tied up space in his section for 4 hours.

And yeah, you don't leave 5 dollars after spending 200 on a tab.

Exactly. In a perfect world one would leave $0 on this tab.

Lol'ing hard @ subsidizing some grubby server's income. Maybe they should pan handle and beg on the street during the break times since they seem to be so good at it.

mainly drinks, and it's all I had in cash, I don't trust waiters when it comes to the receipts, I've had waiters add 0's to my tip amount a few times.
 
Should have hit him with the:

Paying $50/hour for that table seems reasonable. No need to toss a grubby server a few extra pesos.
 
If only you could post gifs irl

When my Dad went to New York he said everyone there complained about his tips. And he's a pretty good tipper as well. Never had a problem in places like Vegas and LA or Paris and wherever else he's been, but he says New York waiters were a special type of asshole

Why should I be embarrassed? I'm not the one that makes a living waiting tables.
 
BJ's sucks dude. Never go there for food and drinks. All you get are a bunch of rowdy sports fans that go to that dump.
