I agree with you, AC. OP, you took out your frustration with the unpleasant
situation on the poor guy who gave you great service. That, IMNSHO, sucks!
Not only did you make him work for free, you actually cost him money since
he will pay income tax on the tip he should have received based on the cost
of your meal which, based on your description, I suspect wasn't cheap.
