Theoretically possible. But have you tried it? I forgot to tip once when I visited the US and the waitress nearly assaulted me.

Yes, I have, and have never had the experience you've had. That sounds more like you got a terrible server than anything else.

Well, it was in San Francisco. Is this something you do frequently? Don't waiters/waitresses confront you about it?

In San Francisco..yeah. At least when I lived there the general mentality of servers was a littlw militant. Not tipping a bartender by mistake had one almost come across the bar at me. If I were not tipping in a major city, I would hustle out before the server noticed.
