and no, I'm not talking about the cow variety!

My wife and I just had lunch at a Thai place we go to ALL THE TIME, practically twice a month! Food there is good, the prices are right etc.

Today, lunch came to about $18 bucks and I only had my card with me. The card's kinda low right now (Xmas shopping and all) and so this time I didn't tip. The service consisted of the waiter bringing us our plates and that was about all and normally I do tip but today, for whatever reason, I chose not to.

So we leave and all of a sudden the owner/ waiter is following us to our car asking if the service was OK etc. I explained everything was fine and he asked where was his tip? Now, I felt this was pretty rude but I explained that I was low on funds and I was sorry. He said, "I know your face, you're not coming in my restaurant anymore!!" He banned us!!

I'm totally blown away... speechless...

ORG!? What would you do?
