You guys should try it sometime. It's freeing.

I've never done it, but I'm also assuming you've never been on the other side.
I understand there are cases where they deserve zero, but someone who hasn't been on the other side may not. There's a difference between the restaurant being poorly managed/understaffed so the server cannot get to you vs. she's too busy flirting with the bartender to bring you water.

There's been times where people leave a crappy tip, and then a nice note saying how well I did and they're poor students or whatever. There's also been a lot of "verbal tips" where they tell you you did so good and then insult you with 1-2%.
