Other - Dining Out

I was always taught that you tip people that have provided you with personal service, but have not charged you a seperate labor fee.

For example:
We are supposed to tip a waiter, hair stylist, cab driver, hotel porter, and these type of people that provide a service without charging a seperate labor charge.

We are NOT supposed to tip the auto mechanic, the handyman, the appliance repair person, the shoe repairer.

I recently watched a movie with Anthony Hopkins and he is riding in a cab that drives him to the motel. The cab driver was rude throughout the ride.
When it came to paying for the fare, Anthony though the fare was a bit steep, but that is what was on the meter, so thats what he paid.
The cab driver became angry and demanded that he pay at least 10% percent more as a tip. A tip is expected the cab driver says.

Why is it wrong to not leave a tip at all if you have bad service?
I realize that some people never tip and I think that is wrong.

do you only tip if you had good service or feel that you have to tip and do you think places should be stopped from putting 10% tipping on the bill or should make it clear that they do that before you go in

I have been in the food service industry. I served four years in a restraunt. I played the closing game. Start putting some things away early to ensure i can get out as soon as possible. But in four years i never turned away a customer. NEVER!!!! So i go to Wendy's. You know the ads say "open till midnight or later". Well I get there at 11:48 and place an order. One item was denied which i know is because they were playing the close early game. I pay for my food at 11:50 per the time on my reciept. They tell me to pull off to the side to wait for my order. The parking lot lights turn off at 11:53. My food is brought to me missing an item. I pull up to the window and wave for someone to walk over. It is 11:58 and he tells me sorry everything is put away. I will have your name put on a list to get your food tomorrow. SO........... Open till Midnight? Open till I feel like it? Open Till midnight but service stops at a quarter till.

yes this is a true story. I didn't actually see it, but both my brothers and one of our friends told me that this boy up the street ate his own dogs poop as a bet.

The boy thought that he would recieve $10.00 mind you, that was like getting $60.00 back in the early 80's. Instead he was tricked and never received the 10. He chewed it and swallowed too. Thats so disgusting!

So why would anyone eat Dog poop or any kind of poop, knowing it could possibly make them sick. Did he know any better?

I recently saw that movie, Waiting with Ryan Reynolds. It was hilarious, but it got me thinking, I wonder if anyone really has done anything nasty like that in a bitchy or a mean person's food.
Has anyone out there who has or currently works at a restaraunt ever done anything really disgusting to someones food because they were being entirely rude or sent something back?
