I won't get into specifics, but the weekend before last I was at a bar/pub around Polaris/Westerville that I go to fairly often. I like this place a lot, and know others on here frequent it as well. I'm also the kind of person that starts their tips out at 20% and the server can work their way up or down from there.
Well this night started out normal, seemingly polite waitress came and took our orders (me and 5 friends), and we got our drinks like normal. After that it all went down hill. She started taking longer to come back and check on us. My girlfriend had finished her drink and had been waiting about 15 minutes for another one. The kicker? The waitress had been back a time or two. She just wouldn't even acknowledge my girlfriend, wouldn't even look at her. So I had to shout to her as she was walking away just to get her attention to get my girlfriend another drink. After this I NEVER got the opportunity to order another beer. I had an appetizer and one beer, my girlfriend had two beers. We were there for 2 hours or so.
So needless to say, I was pissed, borderline offended. So I did not leave her any tip. I took a picture of my bill, and have the customer copy. Sure as shit, I go check my bank statement and she added a tip. As far as I am concerned this is theft and credit card fraud. I don't care if its only a few dollars, thieves are scum. So what are my options? Can I press charges, or should I just go in and handle it with the manager? I honestly don't feel I should have to pay any of this bill, and also wouldn't mind seeing this girl get fired.
Also, a friend of mine didn't leave her a tip as well. I texted her to see if she added anything on her bill, but I haven't heard back from her yet.
