Same here. If I'm dissatisfied with a place I just don't go back.
I'm wondering if this is part of an overall trend in society, where people pushing for better wages are demonized and blamed for society's ills (in the same way as teachers and police officers seem to be when their wages are discussed). On my way home this afternoon I caught a snippet of a story about raising the minimum wage in Louisville. One of the quotes was from someone who predicted doom for the restaurant industry if such a measure were to pass. Funny, it sounded just like the argument that was made when the minimum wage went from $2.10 to $2.35.

The ONLY reason we ever put a tip jar out at Gumbo A Go-Go was because a majority of the customers kept asking us where they could leave a tip for us.
