Having been in the industry for 25+ years, I’ve never seen anything like that. Besides, how would staff know they are getting stiffed before the bill is paid.
Yeah I think that’s an anti-worker stereotype used to characterize workers as greedy, violent, and spiteful.
Most of the people in foodservice i’ve known ended up there because they love food. They enjoy handing someone a great meal or suggesting the perfect cocktail to pair with a dish. They aren’t going to ruin someone’s food like that because they genuinely care about their profession and craft.

I think it’s a pro-worker stereotype, in that it gives people a self-interested reason not to be an asshole or stiff their waiters.
I worked in a restaurant for many years and i can’t tell if you all are bullshit.
