I generally do around 20%. I'll do 10-15% if service was meh. Once I left a penny to let the server know, "I didn't forget. You were a douche canoe." <br />I say if you don't want to tip appropriately, eat at home.Melanienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1754086061123343561.post-89952760944100504572012-12-27T14:03:15.960-07:002012-12-27T14:03:15.960-07:00I think that when you get a discount or use a coup...I think that when you get a discount or use a coupon you should tip for what the amount would have been normally--why punish the server?

I am not a queen, so I don't need to be high and mighty about how I was served for gosh sakes. As long as they bring the food and check in at least once, I'm fine. I've tipped more, for sure, generally at the cheaper places, because I feel bad just leaving $2 for a $10 meal. I'm not rich, by any means, but I just factor it in when deciding if I'm going out for dinner or not. That's a really difficult job, dealing with crappy attitudes all day long, so sheesh, we can tip them well for their hard work.Kianwihttp://www.simplyshegoes.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1754086061123343561.post-88797081634896476822012-12-27T14:03:13.971-07:002012-12-27T14:03:13.971-07:00Here in England we don't really have official ...Here in England we don't really have official tipping or any tipping rules in general, which is probably why I feel so uncomfortable about it. Thing is, we're a country of a dozen different cultures smooshed together, and have no way of knowing when/if it's appropriate or how the tipee would feel about it (never heard one complain, but then people aren't expected to make up their paycheck with tips). What I like to do sometimes is leave a tip, but pretend I'm not leaving a tip. The meal is £16.50 and I leave a £20 note, then say "keep the change" like it's a meagre amount that would inconvenience me to collect it.Drake Sigarnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1754086061123343561.post-44034000922041808742012-12-27T14:03:12.972-07:002012-12-27T14:03:12.972-07:00We have "tip wage" in NY and NJ too and ...We have "tip wage" in NY and NJ too and it's terrible. I waited tables back when I was 18 and if I had to do it now I don't know how I'd survive. My weekly check was maybe $50. <br /><br />I try to tip well and sometimes over tip simply for good service, and if I have the cash. I learned a long time ago that tipping on a CC is a no-no since it's taxed.CTAMhttp://ctam28.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1754086061123343561.post-22456967857649117372012-12-27T14:03:11.944-07:002012-12-27T14:03:11.944-07:00I've served my time waiting tables, I know how...I've served my time waiting tables, I know how it goes.

Minimum wage should mean exactly that, how the Repugnicans get around that basic rule defies logic ! We need to pass laws which state that the top person in any organization cannot make more than 10 times the bottom guy ! Not to exceed in any organization more than 30 % net profit either.Spudnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1754086061123343561.post-20588599910863240612012-12-27T14:03:09.950-07:002012-12-27T14:03:09.950-07:00I am big on tipping well.

If it's bad service like the other day when all I ordered were two drinks and she totally forgot about us it was change to round it to a dollar screw you but in cases where we get good service hell yes.

I hustled for my tips and depended on people not sucking so I could make rent. It's ridiculous how low the wage is and frustrating when people like your boss, verbally recognize a job well done but refuse to recognize it monetarily.Vapid Vixennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1754086061123343561.post-58820832777478947822012-12-27T14:03:06.971-07:002012-12-27T14:03:06.971-07:00I am a large tipper.

But again, it has to be truly shitty service, and this has only happened twice in the last ten years. For the most part, servers around here are very friendly and eager to help.abeerfortheshowernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1754086061123343561.post-18687063604684988752012-12-27T14:02:41.034-07:002012-12-27T14:02:41.034-07:00I always tip at least 15%, if the service was bett...I always tip at least 15%, if the service was better than average, then so will be my tip. Even if the service sucks, I will usually still leave something. However, if they include the tip on the check, then that's all I leave. In my case, automatically adding the tip to my bill usually punishes the wait staff because I usually tip at least what they charged.<br /><br /><br />Something to remember while tipping - my daughter works at Steak 'N Shake and when you tip on your credit/debit card, she actually loses a small percentage of that tip.Jeff Lawsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1754086061123343561.post-13764064093179811452012-10-27T13:42:54.573-06:002012-10-27T13:42:54.573-06:00He's an awesome douche in that movie.
