Quote of the day…. Bad tippers, watch out!!
Terence Banich had been outed as a bad tipper, and he didn’t even know it. He popped up on the cheapskate list at BitterWaitress .com, berated by a server at a Chicago restaurant for leaving a $3 tip on a $200 bill. Informed of his tipping infamy, Banich said if he had left such a measly gratuity, it was a mistake, a misplaced decimal point, and he’s sorry for it.
But Banich, a Chicago lawyer, also said he was none too pleased that a waitress had lifted information from his credit card — his name — and posted it on the Internet.
Banich had effectively been cybersmeared, and he’s far from alone.

John Grohol, a psychologist who studies online behavior, agreed. Venting is therapeutic, and the Internet provides a great outlet for it, said Grohol, who also runs a Web site called Psych Central.
“But if people are being called out, that can cross the line into slander or libel, and that’s a bad thing.”
