The Verbal tip....

This act is becoming a very big problem on top of bad tips. The verbal tip is a table that is incredibly nice to the server the entire time. All seems well for the server and they think a good tip is on the way. So when the table is getting ready to leave they will always make it a point to tell their server how great they were. This is always great to hear as a server because we like to know that you had a good time and enjoyed yourself, that is after all our job. Then we go and grab your check and see you left us a crap tip!? Whats up with that? You know what that is? Its a sucker punch to the privates is what it is. You are coming across all nice then do the worst thing you can do to your server and that is just wrong. I don't care if your the nicest people on the planet to your server during your meal and you become best friends in the process. If you leave a bad tip after its all said and done that server now hates you plain and simple. And some people even have the nerver after you have seen thier crap tip to ask for something else, this is hilarious in some situations because trust me the last thing your server wants to do now is help you. So it might take a long time to get whatever you asked for, if you even get it. 
The term actions speak louder than words plays in this situation. If you tell a server they did a good job show them by tipping well because they are there to make money not make friends for the most part. I'd much rather you not say anything to me and leave a good tip than be all friendly then leave a bad tip thats just a horrible feeling. Words don't show up in my bank account and they certainly don't pay my bills.
