i find it bad taste to ASK for more tip... but just out of curiosity... what percentage of the bill did you leave for a tip?

I\'ve never heard of a waiter/waitress asking for more money in tip. I understand times are tough, but that\'s just insulting. Don\'t get me wrong, you should tip, but you don\'t have to and a low tip could be the person buying being low on money as well or maybe your service sucked. Sure they could just be a cheapskate too, but wow, I\'ve just never heard of that. I don\'t know how I would respond if someone did that to me. Would probably be the last time I ate there though.

Really?  Were you at a Hibachi table, because if that is the case the waiter does almost nothing.  Takes the order and brings the drinks/apps.  The cooks does all the work and entertaining.  I would much rather throw an extra tip to the chef vs. the waiter.  Maybe the waiter was pissed because he knows he has to split the tip.

:that:

in hindsight I think I would have done this also, having now read this, but if a waiter just came up to me out of the blue and demanded more money I think I\'d be in so much shock i wouldn\'t even think of that.

well.

kumo is certainly ok in my book. my first comment upon looking at the specialty rolls on the menu was that they were on the expensive side, then lauren alerted us that they were all 50% off. it was one of those "she didn\'t just say what i think she did, did she?" moments. we proceeded to order 8 specialty rolls, which was pretty much the perfect amount, and they were fantastic. everything tasted extremely fresh, and i\'m pretty sure i\'ve never been out for sushi and spent under $100 before last night. awesome. definitely going to be heading back there several times to abuse the 50% off deal as much as possible before it\'s gone, whenever that may be.

the band sounded great. we were only there for the first set, but it was definitely a treat. A+ all around! nice to meet you mrs. D!
