I felt compelled to tell the group to make sure they tip well after I witnessed people cheaping out one year.
I've heard some folks don't tip, or tip very poorly, any place they don't expect to come back to, like if they're on vacation. When I was a busboy at a sit-down restaurant in Gettysburg one summer, I saw a table of 8 people who were there for hours, and left an ungodly mess (kids plastering food on every square inch within the range of their arms) and left a dollar tip.
