Went to restaurant on Saturday. Appetizer was burned. Sent it back. Entree was burned. Sent it back. Waiter argued with us, but finally took it back. Finished dinner. Paid the bill. Sat at table talking.
After about five minutes, the waiter comes back and taps me on the shoulder. "Excuse me, sir, I don't mean to bother you ...." (points to the total bill) "it's supposed to be 15%...."
I look at him. Then back to the check. Then back at him. "Yeah, 15% pre-tax."
He looks at the bill, recalculates it in his head, then says "Don't worry about it."
I won't.

harro,
ru guo ni shi zhen de chinese...15% is too muchee.
that's an amazing story, btw. who the heck tips 15% pre-tax?
wow you're cheap.
First, sounds like the guy was rude and I can't believe he had the cajones to come ask you about the tip. BUT I do have to give you a lesson on tipping. (If you have never served in a restaurant, you will never really understand.) But 20% is the accepted minimum nowadays, especially in a place like NYC! Don't be a Chinese tipper!
