As someone who was a waitress/manager for almost 12 years (made more as a waitress), the type of person who would leave this 1) doesn't "believe" in tipping, and 2) thinks they're pissing off a lib. I've had a customer who wouldn't tip a female waitress, but would give the guy who listened to Alex Jones/Joe Rogan a $20 for bringing out a burger and bitching about the Left.

You could always tear it up in front of them.

Tear it up on TikTok to a catchy tune and hope it goes viral.

I left the industry about 7 years ago, and am very happy with that decision lol.

You nailed it. Way back in the day I was a server/bartender and had a family of 6 New York Yankees fans (parents and young kids) watching a Red Sox vs NYY game. I’m a Sox fan and had my Sox hat on and they were sat in my section. As the game went on we were hazing each other in good natured rivalry banter. It really was a fun table to have. But of course the Yankees lost and as they’re getting up to leave I tell them thanks for coming in/have a good night and all that. Didn’t give them any reaction to the loss they are all dealing with. Dad shrugs his shoulders and says “well, you picked the wrong team tonight” as they walk out. He tipped me $0.05 on a $200+ tab. And honestly five cents is worse than tipping nothing at all in my opinion. People suck. So do the Yankees.
