WINSTON-SALEM -- A woman who says Kampai Japanese Steak and Seafood House refused her service has started a petition to boycott the establishment. But restaurant owners say they refuse to serve her simply because she is such a poor tipper.

Monica Covington said her spat with the restaurant began in 2008.

"I noticed on our ticket that they added 18 percent gratuity and there was only two others with me at the time," Covington said.

... Kampai manager Michael Lam said Covington is a poor tipper, and after a number instances of her failing to tip accordingly, the restaurant ran into problems.

"Yes, because we can't keep continuing to serve her anymore because the servers and chefs are not willing to serve her," Lam said when asked if he refused Covington service.

... Winston-Salem attorney Carl Parrish said North Carolina law allows businesses to dictate payment terms upfront and to refuse to serve customers who don't agree to the terms, as long as civil liberties aren't in violation.

1. As if food wasn't expensive enough

this state now requires you to PAY THEIR BILL for THEIR EMPLOYEES to serve you.

2. Tipping...

Maybe they should increase the price of the food they serve by 18% to make sure that everybody tips, this way the tips are guaranteed. I usually tip 20% at the places I go to, I used to work in food service (in the kitchen, minimum wage non-tipped position), and I know how hard the waitstaff works, dealing with the public the way they do.

3. Me too. And I don't have a problem with expecting servers to expect a

certain percentage either.... Even when they have a crappy day.

5. hopefully your waitstaff took care of you.

I always tipped out to my cooks,busers, hostess and dishwashers.
I had good tippers and bad tippers it usually averaged out.
