Not tipping can be an awkward business or conversation to have when you received sub-par service. The No Tip Card allows you to leave behind a [business card-sized graphic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/digibusinesscard) explanation why you will not be leaving a gratuity.

The front side of the strongly worded card lets the [restaurant](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dont-tell-dad) know you disapprove of their sucky service, while the flip side allows to to grade your dissatisfaction in terms of excellent, good average or poor. If you are upset enough to leave a rude note, chances are you will be checking off 'poor' and the other options are unnecessary.

This not tipping notification comes in a pack of ten on high quality cards made from heavy card stock that is UV coated on both sides.
