An Auburn fan was serving an Alabama fan and was left with no tip how do you feel about this?

It’s plain ass rude, about typical for a “Bama fan. But at least the Auburn server didn’t shoot the ‘Bama fan.

Both sides are too overboard on the whole subject.

It’s bullshit, of course, and incredibly stupid. However, these college football rivalries are serious business to fans. I know the Carolina/Clemson rivalry where I am can break up friendships or cause family members to not speak to each other, especially around game day and after Clemson loses to Carolina yet again. Yes, incredibly stupid. I’m not sure why the server was talking to this table about his team if he knew they were Alabama fans. It’s almost like talking about politics to your table – you say something they don’t like, and you might screw yourself over.

I personally can’t stand when servers are chatty about anything, but I’d never stiff them because of that. We don’t know just how chatty this guy was, though. He may have been completely obnoxious. He still should’ve gotten a tip regardless, but some people don’t feel that way. A decent tip on that check would’ve been $4–5, so it’s not much to cry about in the grand scheme of things. Live, learn, and keep your mouth shut.

I don’t think that patrons in restaurants should impose their own views on servers. I feel the same way about this that I do about the “religious” couple who failed to tip a gay server.

The tip should be based on the service. Period.
