25 cents and a two buffallo wings....

The summer before this during wsop2006 I was with friends railing Azimut on a final table at the Venetian ($300ish game). Azimut and deejay were in the last 5. Myself and Luke (meg80) got a bit peckish so went to get something to eat at a restraunt in the casino. It must have been a friday/saturday night as it was quite busy. At the front of the queue yet this miserable lady kept seating people before us so long as it was a male and female couple. The lady doing the seating was also waitressing which is unusual. Maybe she assumed couples would tip her more? Once seated it took forever to take our order. Finally the fat cow (hell yeah she looked like she ate what people left behind on their plates) came over and said...

"Are you ready to order now?" to which i replied...

"Only if you are sure there isn't anybody else left in Las Vegas who hasn't ordered yet".

She then swapped with a waiter much to my delight. Towards the end of our meal the greedy fat pig waitress was back, clearly she thought she was entitled to get the tip? We couldn't quite tell if she was greedier for food or money. So bear in mind we are in vegas where its crucial for excellent service seeing as tips are essential. Slow, poor, rude service is not forgotten just by a smile from a greasy pig when the bill is given. So we decided to give food and cash to miss piggy, we put a quarter (25 cents) and two buffallo wings inside the case holding the bill and closed it. We then went to the slot machines and waited for miss piggy to collect her tip. She picked it up then 25 cents fell out and she couldnt close it completely so opened up and two buffallo wings fell out onto the floor. A sheer look of shock was on her face and to this very day Luke and I am not sure if it was because of what she was tipped or if it was because the chicken wings had dropped on the floor.

Nobody should ever feel pressured to tip if the service is awful. Some poker dealers, wait many poker dealers often get $100+ an hour tips during busy periods. These are the friendly dealers, always confuses me how some dealers are rude. They will call the floor for the smallest of things, if someone swears at themselves they will call the manager and EVEN once I saw a DEALER criticising a player for time spent making a decision. It makes no sense as I am guessing they are working for around $10 an hour plus tips, manners and a smile and you earn much more so simple.
