Wait you can just refuse? I thought you'd get arrested

    If someone refuses to pay the tip it doesn't affect the owner. It hurts the waiter/waitress.

    I am just imagining the logistics of this.

    If the table bought $100 of food and the bill added a 20% service charge, and the party puts down $100 and leaves, refusing to pay the rest, I think that is larceny and a crime, and they could be charged.
