| - Yesterday I went to Pete's for the lunch buffet at around 12:45. Pete's is one of two Thai restaurants near my home, and it happened to be on the route home I was taking, so I chose to eat there. I was greeted by the single server working, who was later indicated to be the owner. There were about five tables occupied, mostly with two or three patrons, but one large table seating five or six people. He sat me at a table, and I went to the buffet line to get some coconut chicken soup. I noticed that the napkin bin was empty, so I made the server aware of it. When I returned to my table, there was a glass of water waiting at my table. The soup was quite tasty. I finished my soup, and went to make myself a plate, came back and began to eat. The food was good, but nothing fantastic. As I was eating, the attendant refilled my water, mostly with ice, and that was the last "service" I received from him. Until it was time to pay my bill.
I waited a bit at my table, but decided to go to the counter to have my tab drawn up and pay it. The tab came to nearly $11.00 with tax, and I decided to pay with my debit card. I signed the voucher, not noticing the tip and total lines at that time as I was in a hurry and inattentive to it. The server handed it back to me, and asked me to please fill in the tip and total lines in a rather insistent tone. Since I really had received virtually no service, I hadn't even been asked whether I wanted anything to drink other than water, and his petulant manner, I decided not to include a tip. He pointed this out to me, and said that the people here depended on tips to make their living. I replied that I understood that, but my service had been poor. He then told me to leave, and don't come back. Wow. I told him that I had been there a few times before, and I always tipped, but today I didn't feel a tip was warranted. I explained why as described above. He said that he knew I'd been there before, and that I never tipped because others had told him so, and that he went over all the credit/debit vouchers personally and remembered me. I was astonished. So now he was calling my a liar. At best, this was man truly over his head, and not control of either his faculties, nor his business. At its worst, this was an invasion of my honor, not to mention my privacy.
So, for the record, I will not be returning to Pete's anymore, and I wholeheartedly recommend that you do not patronize this establishment either. There is no excuse for this sort of behavior at a service establishment.
