To the OP, that is why I have forced my children to work for tips for their first job (mainly waiting tables), so they understand what sort of crap most wait staff have to deal with.
I have seen a situation like that before, my wife and I (before kids) were out for our anniversary, only had a 50 dollar bill, but a table next to us had 8 people (mainly kids) and just trashed the place, the parents left no tip for the waitress (who was waiting on us too) and it took her and 4 other bus people about 15 min to turn the table.
I made sure to tip her well, she tried to refuse it (we tipped 50 on our 50 dollar bill) but we explained to her that what was done was not right, and to make sure her bus staff knew of our thanks for being so professional.
On the flip side, I will let my wait staff know if they are messing up, and my tips will reflect as such, but would never make a scene like that, at most Ill speak to the manager, but primarily let my tips do the talking.
