So there was a little bit of a contretemps with former football star Warren Sapp. It seems he was at a sports bar and when the check came he refused to leave a tip.
Now he said it was because the waitress called him "boy." She said that she went over to the table and said "Do you boys want another drink?" So he decides that he wasn't going to leave a tip.
Now we know that is not the reason. Black people and Germans never tip. When they used to come in the bar the waitresses never wanted to serve them. So why this girl thought that he would ever leave a tip is beyond me.
Suck it up baby and do what the girls in midtown used to do. Spit in his chicken fingers and put some snot in his guacamole. You won't get any money but you will feel better about yourself.

French Canadians are the WORST!
"You boys want another drink" is coming affection not some dark place like Sapp makes it out.
He just played the race card right there.
All she wanted was a tip, but instead she got the shaft.
After the Affection Explanation, which seems the most likely scenario, there's the Behavioral or Ego State Explanation which is also a good possibility, as inebriated men tend to lose a few years. I'd go with either of those before presuming the waitress was using a racial slur, unless she was over seventy and mean as a snake.
Why do we know this?
Twitter, dude.
Black people and Germans never tip.
I cannot explain black people but with the Germans, it's socialist conditioning. I still remember moving there and getting incredibly shitty service and thinking "I'm not going to tip" only to quickly learn that that tips were not optional but were automatically added to the bill -- "no need to tip!"
There was a small pizzeria across the way from where we lived -- it wasn't exactly my kind of place because all the pizza's were pre-selected and substitutions were verbotten. Nick would have loved the place because they followed all the protocols -- regulation oven (Germans excel at ovens); regulation temperature; regulation cooking distance from the fire, etc. The food was quite good and I used to tip anyways. The place was staffed by Yugoslavians at the time and they appreciated the gratuity.

Leper to the whore: "Keep the tip!"
Any excuse to avoid paying an extra 15-20%
Most Europeans do not get American tipping, since they don't do it back home. Black people do it as a reverse reparations tax (or so I have been told).
When is Warren Sapp planning to run for office? He's fired off his opening volley, right?
In a just world, lawyers would have to play offensive or defensive line and linemen would have to be surgeons that work on each other.
That'd dang sure thin the herd, eh?
You guys aren't ON twitter.
Or you are and you've blocked me.
Happy 4th, assholes.
(By the way, I'm trying to remind people that that's what freedom is: The freedom to be an asshole.)
(of course, I try to do this every day, by example)
I don't follow twitter. I have an account and all but I never look at it. Sorry.
I know, dude. I'm joking.
"Guy who used to be good at throwing ball uses tacky excuse to justify bad behavior."
Yep, lots of foreigners, especially East Asian tourists don't tip because they because people don't tip in their home countries.
Young women are bad tippers too. They also have trouble picking up a check at work. Or spend massive amounts of time splitting up the check so they don't spend $.01 more than they have too.
Don't know why.
I usually over tip except for a few times when I've gotten horrible service. Usually, its been from college students, or hipsters, who make it obvious that waiting tables in "beneath them" and a part time gig before they write that novel, or graduate with a English degree.
Kids in the Hall did a hilarious sketch about a horrible waiter called Gerald, which hit it on the nose.
One time I left only a note in place of a tip. It said, "Here's a protip: when customers request water, bring it. When customers have to request water a second time, bring it immediately." You can fill in the details for how awful that experience was.
The chip on the shoulder routine among blacks is such a bore.
All the guys I know refer to their group of friends as "the boys."
As Troop notes, you can tell character by how a person treats servants and wait staff.
