No

No idea why anyone goes out to eat these days.

I might give 30% if the waitress gives me a bj

You should go 40% for that. Screw their pre-calculated amounts.

IMHO the tip being calculated after tax is a bigger turnoff than the predetermined rates.

And this place probably charges a CC fee as well and then wonders why they can’t keep staff.

RAd to move this to the Tipping Board(tm).

I don't tip with a credit card. I leave some cash in the folder. I figure they'd rather that anyway.

As for %, it depends on the level of service or number of people at the table.

I personally think good service deserves a reasonable tip.

The problem I have is that everyone who serves you something now days expects a tip. I look at the local coffee shop person making $9-$15 an hour differentely than a server at a restaurant.


We have a local Mexican resturant in BR we like to go to maybe twice a month on Fridays. Our son enjoys it as well. We normally have the same server who is respectful and hard working, our bill is normally $65-$85 . We always a tip her 25-35% of the bill.

Guess my point is like anything in life it should be earned not given are feeling entitled. Really the problem with a lot of society today IMO

Did you not see that you had three options and you have the ability to write in the tip? Those numbers are for morons who can't do math. Not sure what category you fall into.

We recently had a waitress at a local restaurant get on facebook for a local group and lose her mind over tipping (or stinginess). Not a good look.

If you are a waitress and not enjoying your compensation, given the shortage of jobs couldn't you just go to a different job? Maybe one that doesn't require staying up all night handing people ketchup bottles and hoping you get an extra $10 with each table?
