I don't see it that way. I figure someone patronizes a restaurant because that restaurant ran advertisments that enticed a patron to come in. A patron doesn't sit at the table and then decide based on what the waiter tells him whether or not he'd be a paying customer.

You're wrong.

It may work that way at McDonald's, but when the choice of entree, an extra app or dessert, or a couple of extra cocktails can easily add $100 to the bill, I will hire the most ambitious waitstaff I can.

I worked for about 10 total years as a waitress.

There were weeks when I’d take home gobs of money.

Why? I went the extra mile, knew my stuff, was pleasant at all times.

I worked at very high end restaurants and medium end restaurants.

As a tipper I tip 20 for regular good service 25 for exceptional service and 15 for average service. ANd if I tip that 25 I let the person know what he or she did that made me give that extra because it may help them get that extra from others.
