I had an interesting experience at The Cannery, back in 1986. It was a nice
place. The food was good, but we had one of the rudest waiters ever. After
tolerating his snotty attitude throughout the meal I gave him a $100 travelers
check for the bill, which was just over $60. He brought back more than $60
change. Realizing that he had probably mistaken the $100 American Express TC
for American funds, I told him that he had made a mistake. He never gave me a
chance to explain that he had given us far too much change he snorted that the
change was correct. I tried again to explain, but he cut me off with with a
claim that he had checked his figures carefully. I tried a third time, but once
again he cut me off wit a very snotty " I told you that I checked the figures
very carefully".
I can't stiff waiters. I pointed out his error. I even dared to overcome his
rudeness not once, but twice. I am sorry, but I am not stupid enough to put
myself in the position of being insulted by wait staff. He deserved to be
stiffed.
