Warren Sapp stiffs waitress on a tip, then explains himself on Twitter

[bklyn1028]

My son (may he rest in peace), and his ex (may she never have any peace) were waiters. It is a very very tough job. 75% of their income is in tips. To not tip, is about as low as you can get. Those people are on their feet non stop. They are at your beck and call (for the most part). A non-tipper, and/or a poor tipper should be ashamed of themselves, ESPECIALLY one who makes a very good living.

If a person gets bad service at a place where the employees don't work on tips(Burger King, McDowell's, Wal-Mart, Target, Jiffy Lube, etc.), they just don't walk out without paying. They may want to do so, but they usually will speak to a manager or supervisor first. The same approach should be followed in places where employees work on tips.
