The two biggest things I dislike are waitstaff who are bringing my food or drinks, and then stop to chat with someone on the way. I was at a local restaurant and the waiter stopped to talk to a friend on the way out and actually sat my food down on a table that had yet to be cleared and talked for a good 10 minutes. The other is people who feel the need to use non-English terms for things when a perfectly acceptable English word exists. Maybe its bias since I learned the language, but I dont mind ordering my food in Japanese when I go to Kaifu or Sushi Atlantic, but it irks me when I go somewhere and they persist in calling wine vino and sounding like a mentally defective frenchman when saying things like 'cabernet sauvignon'. If you don't know exactly what you're saying and how to say it, stop trying to sound cultivated and just speak English, and leave the poor accents at home.

If you refuse to leave a tip over something like that, then you probably wouldn't have left much of one to begin with.
