If you have a gift card, just wait the twenty seconds it takes for us to check the balance on it.
Last week, another waitress had a table say, "there's about $25 on the card, the rest is in cash." and the gift card they left was worth $60. they were still at their table when the waitress noticed, but they could have lost out on a good chunk of money.
Last night, my friend and I were bartending and had a few of our weekend regulars pay the same way. Only their giftcard was worth $6 and that left their tip to be $0.82. My friend ran back to give them their change (so maybe they'd notice that they were being assholes) and they quickly got up and left. I suspect that they knew it was so little and figured we'd give them the benefit of the doubt and not hold it against them.
Please don't take up stools in a packed bar for four hours, demand quick drink service, AND order dinner, if you're going to tip like a douchebag. We live off of tips, most of the girl's paychecks are literally $0. Someone else (or many other people, over how long they sat there) could take up that seat and treat us kindly. F yourselves, jerks.
