But I agree I hate it when people in the service industries feel like they deserve a tip. Yesterday at Frickers all our waitress ever did was take our order and get our waters and then give us our bill when we were done. Another waitress delivered our appetizers, food, beers, took care of our refills. I left our original waitress a dollar tip and gave the other lady who did ever thing else 3 bucks once I found her. Our original waitress saw me do it and gave me a pretty dirty look I just smiled at her lol.

And yes I would have tipped that chick if she gave good service.

I've to different places like Ruby Tuesday's and it IS a different person who brings the food & refills than who takes the order. I have in the past just left a tip on the table and guessed they all split the tips at the end of the night. From now on I'm going to split my tips based on service and how friendly they act.

They will probably split the tips at the end of the night. If its a bar, the barbacks, bartenders, and waiters/waitresses will all split. Some places have even started giving the cooks part of the tip. That is usually when the grill is open till 1am, but very few people are ordering food.

Maybe there are privacy laws that I'm not aware of, but I'm not sure there's any expectation of privacy of your name when you write a message to your waitress. If your doctor released something, then sure. But your waitress? What's the cause of action? Public disclosure of private facts? Intentional infliction of emotional distress? Tough to make a case on this one.

FFT, but what about the guy she blamed and that it wasnt him, just someone with the same name?

That type of stuff can stick with a person. A guy I know years ago shared the name of someone who was busted for drugs and it was in the paper and many people saw it. For years after that there were still some people who thought it was him

To be fair, she appears to have a rather large set of hooters.

It sucks, but I'm not sure it's actionable. I don't know much about the law in this area, but I just don't see how she could get in trouble for this.
