Nebraska Wide Receiver Brandon Reilly Leaves No Tip for Waiter Who Bashes the Cornhuskers Football Team

Yup. Can't fault Reilly for leaving that note and his message can be applied to many topics.

I used to serve in downtown Spokane during college and waited on a number of Gonzaga fans, I greatly dislike Gonzaga sports, but none of my tables ever would've known. It partly made me sick to talk up their team with them, but I preferred not getting stiffed like that moron who served Reilly.

Here's a question:

Do you tip 20% on alcohol, particularly, say, a $500 of wine?

Or do you separate it from food and do a flat tip for wine (e.g., $10 to $20 tip per bottle) or per drink (e.g., $2 per drink).

No? Nobody?

I don't partake of alcoholic beverages, so I have no need to separate those things.

Im not on the level of a Russian billionaire, but I did read a story in the last 10 years that the Russian that bought the Nets, he and some friends racked up $40k-$50k tab, mostly bottles of wine, and tipped the waiter the full 20%.

I am guessing it the server was a hot girl...she still would have got a tip.

Maybe the server did know who he was serving

The team did have a crappy year.

I personally always leave a tip regardless of the quality of service, but writing a note explaining why you didn't tip is the smartest move in this case. Gives that person the opportunity to realize, "Oh crap, I messed up on that" instead of just, "WTF, this guy stiffed me, a-hole."

The server doesn't get a tip, Mike Riley and his staff don't get bowl bonuses... It just gets financially bleak when the Huskers don't win, I guess.

A good passive aggressive move is to leave a note on the tip receipt for the manager to read. It puts it on the server to throw the tip/receipt away if they're ashamed or claim the tip but the manager will read the note if the manager cross checks their tip reports.

The note was enough of a tip. Twitter post unnecessary. I actually think his point would have been better without it, but it doesn't count with people today unless it's posted on social media.

Oh wait..

NO! If he fights for his country, he is not a kid anymore. Those living in free housing, playing a game, and getting a free education are not adults at 18 or even 25. I know there are exceptions, but this group (IE college football players) are treated special their whole lives, entitled fits them quite well. Some great kids in that group, but as a group, meaning all of college football, I would not consider them adults.

A kid is a kid, regardless of what he/she is doing. An 18 or 20 year old soldier is still a kid. Being a soldier does not somehow bypass your brain development. By your standard, there would be no such thing as child soldiers.

The only problem I have with this is that waiters/waitresses base wage is well below minimum wage - it shouldn't be. With that said, it was a stupid move by the waiter to insult his customer. If he was offended, Reilly's complaint should have gone to management.

Heh - yeah, that would have definitely helped.

This is going to be a long offseason.

judging from what i read here on huskerboard....i would say about 99% of husker fans are bitching about the team so the waiter was more likely to please the customers by bitching about the team with them. it was his bad luck to actually have to serve a husker player.

I would have shamed that a-hole server by tweeting his name AND the restaurant he worked at.

Edit. His name is Trey. You had it coming douche.

He's a douche because he shared his opinion of the football team with a patron. He might be guilty of bad judgement in who he shared it with, but it didn't sound like his opinions were a lot different than a bunch of them on here.

I'm not sure you made a validating point.

My mistake. It should have been a ? behind the first sentence. Because I'm questioning you calling him a douche because he shared an opinion, one that incidently is shared by a majority of the state. Why does he need to be shamed for his opinion?
