    We do that here. We *expect* it (I've waited tables). In fact, it's expected that you double the sales tax for decent service in almost all restaurants. In the expensive places you give 20% usually (believe me, I've heard the service is usually worth it).

    HOWEVER if you get bad service, I mean REALLY bad, do as you wish.

    • Don't stand in front of subway doors if it's not your stop, especially during rush hour.
    Make sure you allow people to get off the train before you get on.

    • Sure, you'll get lost here. Why not ask someone where something is. BUT choose your person wisely. DON'T ask the dude in a suit who looks like he's going to brave oncoming traffic to make it across the street and into the subway because he knows the EXACT time to the second that his train will pull in (yes, we all do know these things). Instead, ask the college student who is slowly making her/his way into the park to do some sunbathing/studying.
    DON'T block sideway traffic on Broadway or any other busy street to take out your map. In fact, DON'T block sideway traffic, ever. You WILL be pushed out of the way!
