I was at a restaurant today in South Central (LA, that is). I went to the bathroom, leaving two friends sitting with my plate of food, and my cell-phone, which I'd left on the napkin.
Notably, we were the only customers in the restaurant.
I came back and my friends had gone outside for a cigarette. I went to join them.
I came back in, sat down, settled the bill, and left. Realized, of course, that my cell phone was missing. Remembered we were the only customers. I know my friends didn't take it as a practical joke (though I thought this at first), so I went back to the restaurant and asked them about it.
Cagiest motherfuckers in the universe. Mexican guy behind the counter made a comment in Spanish to his coworker (not realizing I speak the language) about how 'cheap tips don't buy so much' and swore he hadn't seen it. We all knew it was bullshit, so I left. Now I dont' have a phone. And I don't have money to buy a new one.
Fuckeroo.

Also if one understands the rude things being said sotto voce in Spanish, would one not be sorely tempted to (in Spanish) warn them that tips are given, not taken?

I should've.
Also,
does anybody have an old Verizon phone? I'd be willing to buy it from you (name your price) since I can't afford one of the new ones -- which START at $120.00
