Pro Life Tip
It is not necessary to leave a tip in a restaurant, although the employees count on these tips as a significant portion of their earnings in many cases. Nonetheless, if you believe that the service was inadequate, you are not required to leave a tip. However, writing “try something new” instead of a tip on the check is rude.
It’s inconsiderate and unjustified, so we have no idea why anyone would do that. You didn’t like your dinner? Did the service not meet your expectations? That’s OK – don’t leave a tip and don’t return to this restaurant. But leaving a snide remark on their windshield for the waiters simply trying to get by and make ends meet is outrageously rude.
