Dining Out - August 2006

I was with a group at a fancy restaurant the other night and all through the meal the waiter was telling us to order the most expensive entrees. He didn't like the fact that for drinks some people just wanted water ("do you want mineral water, sparkling water, or TAP WATER FROM THE FAUCET?"). Some people ordered inexpensive entrees and he came back and said they were unavailable and made them order more expensive ones. But the final straw came with the tip). We left the standard 15% (which was something like $60) and put it in the check holder and left it on the table. After we left at the table, he came running up to me and said "Was something wrong with the service? Because you didn't leave me any tip!" Everybody came back in the restauruant and started to look for the tip but there was no trace of it. The waiter said we'd have to leave him a new tip. Has anyone heard about this happening, how possible is it that he was trying to get 2 tips?

It is nearly impossible nowadays to order a salad that doesn't a boatload of purple cabbage in it. Why is this? I get REALLY tired of having to pick it all out. Disgusting stuff.
