i don't know about you, but i look at the food before i shove it into my mouth.

i never made claim on your personality, i just simply said what you did is just not cool beans in my books.

i can understand the no tip part, and thats about all i agree with you there. unless the manager said that my meal was comped, i'd still pay for what was brought to me. if they wanted to remake my meal, and i would still pay, that is also perfectly fine with me as well.

the fact is, the restaurant didn't just lose out on a $3 to make meal. you need to factor in the cost of labour and goods that goes into every plate thats made. to you its simply $3, but to a business, it could mean cutting people to shutting down based on lost sales. yea your one plate may not have been much to you in your eyes, but when you look at from their point of view, lost sales throughout the day, through out the month plus wasted goods, it all adds up.

both sides could have won in your situation if both parties were happy at the end of the day. and unfortunately, you nor the manager of the establishment had achieved that.
