Getting stiffed is par for the course regarding being a server. When I used to manage restaurants, I couldn't give our servers $, but I would make up for it by giving them or a friend of theirs a comp'd meal or a bottle of wine. You can't just "pay" the tip to them though. That opens up a whole new can of worms that could be abused. I'm with AlderaanDuran on this one, it could have been handled between the server and the restaurant until he/she made it public knowledge. I would have let them go too. The customer has a right to privacy/confidentiality. I would have chosen "the business" as AD put it.
