Here it goes:
**Story**
This happened in Jan. of 2006.
One of many stories I can tell you about.

First of all, the request was for your specific experiences THIS past weekend. As in February 14-16, 2014.
Secondly, if you are still upset over an incident in 2006 may I suggesting letting it go. It's been 8 years. Your mental and physical health would be better for it.
Moving forward, I think we can go back and forth point by point, sentence by sentence. However, I feel like we're approaching this debate from two very different starting points. So I'll once again try to refocus and ask a few questions to get a better understanding of who you are, so I can see your point of view.
Ultimately I'd like to understand your viewpoint even if I never agree with it.
So:
1) What is your personal definition of control?
2) What is your personal definition of a tip?
3) What is the role of a tip in a restaurant setting?
4) Should a server be focused solely on your table, or juggle a section as best they can?
5) (a) Do you realize that restaurant culture can vary from place to place and culture to culture?
(b) If so, how effective do you think preaching your beliefs of restaurant service will be to places that have differing values and norms?
6) Are you willing to start a blog about each individual restaurant experience? This will allow others to see, in detail, your experiences. Blanket statements of “I once had this happen” are essentially meaningless. Could you start from your experiences on February 14, 2014 going forward?
Let’s focus on these 6 points for now. You have alluded to some of the answers but I'd like a good clean start.
