AITA for not tipping because my waiter didn’t “wait” on me?

I went to a sit-down restaurant last night, and my waiter (let’s call him Brad) took my order… and then disappeared. Didn’t check in, didn’t refill my drink, didn’t even bring my food—some random food runner did.

Then, when the check came, Brad magically reappeared, circled the “suggested tip,” and gave me a big smile like we’d been through something together. My guy, what am I tipping for? You didn’t wait on me—you just took my order and vanished like a part-time magician.

So, I left no tip. Now my friends are calling me an AH because “that’s just how restaurants work.”

AITA?
