This is a weird fear. I worked in restaurants in college and a terrible cafe in grad school in a wealthy/old money-ish neighborhood. The cafe had terrible tips despite there being made to order food and tons of regular customers. We just made fun of stingy customers behind their backs. No one I've ever known in food service of the bar industry HAS EVER tampered with or spit in a drink/food. First and foremost, you'd be fired on the spot if anyone saw it. Also, food service people, and this may surprise you, also eat in restaurants.
- yellowcake0 3y agoThat's admirable that you didn't spit in anybody's food, but why is it stingy not to tip for counter service, or did you have wait staff at your cafe?
- ch4s3 3y agoIt isn’t admirable, it’s just not a thing that anyone really did or does. It seems to me that if someone takes your order and cooks hot door for you and a place you go to twice a week, it’s decent to tip at least occasionally. If staff knows your name and order and remembers details about you, but out always select no tip, that’s pretty anti-social.

- JohnFen 3y ago> This is a weird fear. To be fair, most fears people have are weird when you really examine them.
- ch4s3 3y agoSure, we’re just talking about this particular one here and now.
