She was a bitch to have assumed you were tipping 50%

My Dad and I went out to breakfast awhile back at a local 24 hour chain. Bill came to $23, Dad hands the waitress a $50 with the check and she flat out asks ”Do you need change?” without skipping a beat, he says ”If you think you deserve that much of a tip, you are sorely mistaken”.
Big tits and a low cut top might improve your tip, but you still need to provide decent service. Her reply cost her by turning what would have been a $5 tip out of kindness into a $2 tip based on service and impudence.
Also, being a bit of a curmudgeon at times (he turns 89 in November) he hasn’t been back as a result. This was a place he went to 3-4 times a month.

So which establishment was this so I can be sure to pay with the CC so I don’t have to flag her down to be able to head out.

NO, I would NEVER expect a waitress to keep that amount of change (50%). She was a jerkoff and hoping you didn't want to wait any longer and let her keep it.
Credit card is same difference in time, you have to wait for the waitress to bring the credit card back and the sheet to sign or your cash change.

The words too fucking busy shouldn't be in a waitress's vocabulary.

In the places that I’ve worked, payment is usually left in a closed book. Sometimes it’s cash, sometimes it’s a credit card. I consider it rude to open the book in front of the guest, so it’s more of a courtesy issue that I would ask. Also, in a lot of restaurants, servers are responsible for holding on to any cash received during a shift and may not have exact change to break a bill. I cannot tell you how much time I’ve wasted having to track down a manager or fellow employee who could make change for me only to hear “oh, you were all set” when I brought the guest the change.
To be clear, I would always bring a guest change if they hadn’t said that it wasn’t needed. I’m just explaining an innocent reason why some servers will ask if change is needed.
A tip should never be assumed and should always be at the discretion of the customer. While it is an unfortunate reality tips have come to be viewed as wages, it is still presumptuous for waitstaff to assume they are going to receive a tip.
Did I at any point say that a tip was assumed? Clearly I did not and was only explaining a valid case for a server to ask the question “Do you need change?” Some of you guys seem to be looking for a reason to be cheap or offended.

It’s at a chain haircuttibg place called SPORTCLIPS that is geared towards men, with sports in the TVs, etc. The MVP service includes everything I mentioned, at the price I quoted. Anyone can get the same service at the same price. Just so happens I’ve been going to the same place for a number of years. This month, you get a double MVP (twice as long scalp and shoulder massage and hot face towel, shampoo, cut, for price of a single. Hard to beat the price if you find a stylist that cuts your hair correctly.
Insert your favorite gun-related witticism here!

Clearly you did not say a tip was assumed. I did. When a waiter or waitress asks "do you need change?", it is almost universally understood they are expecting to receive a tip. And if as you suggest they are asking for their convenience, I'm even more offended. As for looking for a reason to undertip, many waiters/waitresses open that window long before the check arrives.

Well, at least one other member here feels simply asking "do you need change?" should result in immediate dismissal from employment.

Human nature at work. Some people insist they aren’t cheap yet always seem to have reasons why their “usual” generous tipping isn’t warranted.

Let's admit it:
This phrase "do you need change?" from a waitstaff person doesn't actually mean they expect you to say "yes" back and they bring you change and then you leave a tip from that.
They expect you to say "no, keep the change" when they ask it.

I had a server "raise" a 4 dollar tip (on a ten buck tab) to 14 dollars. When I confronted management when the bill came, I was refunded the meal and told she had done that several times, and the prosecutor was involved.

After reading about similar things, I have taken to writing "CA$H" on the tip line of credit card slips at restaurants (and, of course, leaving a cash tip).

Which is the reason why it shouldn't be done. It's presumptuous and tacky/low class. Don't put the customer into a position where they might feel uncomfortable. They might not be back.
At least that what I was taught working restaurants. But that was during the '70's, and we know manners have changed over the years.
