How About I Just Not Pay You For an Hour of Work?

So, my birthday was about a month ago. The man I'm dating decided he wanted to take me out to lunch for my birthday. Cool, I guess. We have a discussion about where to go, and settle on a diner that is known for having lower prices and boo-ya milkshakes. I even provide coupons. So we go, we order, we eat. Our waitress is perfectly lovely. She's not extraordinary, but she's absolutely good enough, which to me is impressive, because waiting tables is a hard job. We go up to the counter, he pays. Because I'm nosy, I watch as he signs his credit receipt, because I want to know how much he's tipping her. And amazingly, he didn't. At all. Wrote a nice big zero on the tip line and copied down the subtotal for the total. Our total bill, for the both of us, was $16. Dude, if you can't afford to tip 20% on $16, that's unfortunate, but understandable. To remedy that, be willing to go Dutch. Or cook. Don't tell a girl you want to take her out for lunch and not tip. You're not just being an asshole, you're making your date look bad. You're damaging the opinion your date has of you. Oh, and you're being an asshole! Are you thinking "Meh, it's only $3.20, that waitress won't miss it"? National minimum wage for servers is $2.65! This woman spent an hour taking care of you, and you're going to just take away more than an hour's worth of pay from her? Not okay. You want to not suck as a customer? Tip your server. Don't belittle the person who brings you your food. They have so much control over what's about to go into your body. And, more importantly, that's a human being! That's a human being who works harder than most people do, and you think it's okay to just take away an hour's pay from them? NO. Just. Fucking. No. Throw a frozen pizza in the oven. Go to Taco Bell, where the employees spend 2 minutes with you and get paid actual minimum wage.
