Refusal to tip for lousy restaurant service results in arrest {Gadling}

Nov 22nd 2009 11:03PM The comment at the end of the clip is the MOST important part of the news.

"So what will you do next time you receive bad service?"

"honestly, we are probably going to pay the tip anyway..'

Yeah, this is exactly what the restaurant wanted. Force the customer to pay for service not rendered. ie, good service, which the tip is for.

Who is stealing from whom here? Who is the thief?

Does not matter. And the cops, who, instead of resolving the matter right there as too trivial, booked the couple, *contributed to the statement above*, and served ONLY the ROLE of a COMMON GOON, that the restaurant did not have to pay to intimidate the couple concerned.

SAD day for the dignity of cops in America.
