I waited tables out of high school for many years, from fine dining to the neighborhood dive. I don't drink alcohol (maybe an occasional pina colada every couple of years) but I tip about a dollar a drink. I have left several places where I was A. not acknowledged in a reasonable amount of time - B. rudeness because I didn't order alcohol - C. just bad vibes and shady behavior.
To me, asking for a tip is the height of unprofessional behavior.
