Judge kaukau rules : 20% discount from management was in good faith and appropriate - very nice; in the Court's opinion, service was spotty - but not bad: ergo, no tip was too harsh a penalty, for the damages incurred by plaintiff, since services were rendered and received, though in a below average manner; hence a below average - 10% - tip would have been appropriate. Case closed. (Gavel down! )

Bon appetit!
