I thought it was strange when the waiter was clipped (by Paulie and Chris) after complaining about being stiffed on his tip after serving a large table.
Generally speaking, don't wise guys tip well? Or was it realistic to leave a minuscule tip, like Chris did?
The whole point of Chris being cheap with the tip was his rebelling against Paulie. At various points in the episode, Paulie was relishing sticking Chris with the bill with expensive orders. Chris's anger wasn't with the waiter, but with Paulie. Then the waiter made the mistake of confronting Chris about the ridiculously small tip, which was right after Chris got into it with Paulie about forking over $1,000 for dinner. The waiter was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time.
