If she had bottle-fed it, it wouldn't get the same attention, but it would still be unprofessional. I assume she quite enjoyed the attention. Some people live to create controversy.
Or we can just come to Neatorama, where every day is Breaking Bad Day. I am not familiar with Breaking Bad, but I gather it has something to do with glorifying drug dealing.
I don't mind the surcharge if the place is good. Her's the dilemma. Serving staff hears customers speaking French as they come in. Staff thinks, "Great. No tip for me today," and proceeds to deliver poor service. French customer thinks, "This is really poor service. I'm not going to leave a tip." (in French, of course). Staff sees no tip and goes, "Just what I thought. A lousy tipper." Catch-22.
I think the French are less "polite" (or more open) than other Canadians, and will definitely let their dissatisfaction show in their tipping, when another person may be more forgiving. However, I know examples of French people leaving pennies even when the service was good, or insulting the wait staff in French when they think the staff can't understand them.
I kind of like the idea of the gratuity being added on to the bill. In the Philippines, I didn't really have to worry about tipping, but sometimes left some of the change from the bill anyway.
Sure, there were a number of funny comments, but over 500? I read through about 4-5 pages, and there were only a couple of really good ones that weren't incredibly bitter sounding.

Or a case of really bad ownership.
Fitting his name horizontally into the rectangle, he managed to spell Ossa (bones) down the left side.
