Looking for somewhere to eat late and this was one...

Looking for somewhere to eat late and this was one of the few. As a result, we intend to tip very well (we work for tips too). Walked in and were seated promptly. Server took our drink order. 40 MINUTES later we are still waiting for drinks. (and no, they were not busy or closed) One person in our party gets up to go get the from the bar. Another server takes notice (tall white guy - very young) and brings them over. Someone in our party would like an appetizer the original server (short black guy, youngish and wearing a hat) takes that order but is already upset. We finally get our food (WHICH IS GREAT). Order more drinks from the white guy and receive them in about 10 minutes. Any water glasses we have are not kept full and we are not checked on at all. I ask him to fill my friends drink THREE TIMES before he does it and then it drops it beside me.

HE WAS SO RUDE. we work for tips too but by this time i am furious and a little tipsy. so when we go to settle out, i say no tip. my friend adds a few bucks. okay, he doesnt deserve anything being so rude. i NEVER have done that before but i was so mad. all he had to do was normal stuff and be polite and he would have gotten a FAT TIP.

so on the way out he pulls one us aside and goes "is this all you're giving me?" and she says "yeah you sucked. youre lucky youre geting anything." he says "i was a great server, you're just cheap!"

at that point, i start pushing my friend out the door. she has a bad temper and was about to go off on him. i can't believe the gal he has to tell someone that. being in a tip industry myself (and most of my party), we understand don't just tip, tip well. this guy was so rude and caustic from the beginning, i'm really surprised our food even came out right. honestly, we had the intention of tipping well but he lost it himself. and to actually approach someone about a tip?? out of line! rude and all kinds of unprofessional!
