Totally a personal decision. Its a great gesture if the service was good. Thanks for NOT being politically correct and saying cripple instead of some lame PC word like working leg challenged!

Odd. I have never seen a crippled waitress, since the disabled society do not list waitressing as a probable means for a living. They are usually taught jobs such as clerical, phone answering, much geared towards brain use, computer use than their acrobatic skills of handling plates and glasses.
Those are jobs for the able bodied.
If your waitress was limping, she may have injured herself during the weekend skiing or rollerblading. She may need some words of sympathy but not more. On the other hand, any extra tip is good , ask any waitress.
ANY TIP IS GOOD.
You will probably be in her good books and she will serve you faster the next time you show up in that place. That is essentially what tipping is all about, excellent service.
You may be one of those people who will eyeball the server and simply decide that they may be hard up and you leave the extra money. You are a kind hearted person, and kindness is always a karmic act.
For whatever you do to the least of your brothers, you do unto ME.

Gee big tipper, now what does it take to make her a "cripple", does that mean that she is serving you with one hand and a claw, or does she have one leg and the other is a peg leg.
Excuse me, but the usage of cripple is really putting you into a class of your own, and truly she should probably give you the dollar back to send you to class for some etiquette lessons. I do believe the world is disabled, yes, checking that out, it says that on my forms, I'm not a gimp, not crippled, I'm disabled. Can I have that extra buck.

I'm not quite sure what kind of crippled you mean. If it's a sprained wrist or a cast that's temporary, I'd leave more too. But if it's a permanent disability then no. People who are disabled do not want sympathy, it's very condescending to them. Just tip the waitress on the job she did.

Are you tipping the waitress because she is a cripple or because of the service she provided? Most people I know who are cippled or handicapped want to be independent. The waitress might fell self concious if you were tipping because she crippled versus providing a service.

"Crippled" people usually want to be treated equally, but if that was me I wouldnt mind getting a extra dollar as a tip, because that is what they pretty much live on is tips. Plus, it might make his/her day getting a extra dollar from a nice person.

If you feel like you are helping her, then yes, you should feel good about it. You might want to call her handicap instead of cripple though. It sounds a little nicer.

Yep, you can feel good about it. Just think she can use that extra dollar towards a new wheel chair or a bib to catch the drool. Besides, what would you do with that dollar besides purchase more crack.
