Re: Tipping

15%.

If I don't think they did a good job, more like 10%. I usually won't go any lower than that.

If I think they did a really good job, about 20%.

Park the old car that I love the best
Inspections due and it won't pass the test
Funny how I have to put it to rest
And someday I will join it.

Re: Tipping

Are drinks free over there in America? We pay for everyone we order, here, so if they brought a drink without asking me, I'd just feel like they were trying to get more cash out of me. As a general rule, we just put it to the closest denomination of note, so sometimes it'sa good tip, othertimes stingy. That's mostly cause I just don't like waiting for change, though.

Re: Tipping

I'm a pretty big tipper around town because I know all the waitresses. I wouldn't want to look like a bastard. But I'll tell you what.. I've had a couple Chinese waiters at Empire who were awful and I had no choice but to cheap shot 'em.

Yeah at most places they are.

In fact, I have never been to a place they were not.

Re: Tipping

Beer isn't free refills. They're like anywhere from $1.75 to $4.00 each. Most people get a pitcher of beer for the whole table, which has an even wider range of costs. I went to a comedy club in Cleveland and it was freaking $25 a pitcher! It did make the show much funnier though.

About tipping though, I usually do do about 20%. If it was real good, I might give them about 25-30%. If they sucked, I'll dip down to 15%.

I'm a good tipper; I try to impress. And since I usually go back to the places I like, I try to keep them happy.

Usually like a $1 for each time I go up there. If I have a tab, then maybe like $5.

Re: Tipping

Yep, rule of thumb is about $1 tip to the bartender for each drink you order.

And HB, I was talking more about the non-alchy drinks I get, like pop/water. Those are free refills.
