...while women can go as low as 15 percent, or even 10 percent.

Fifteen percent is low?

Maybe women tip less because they often do the same sort of work at home, where it isn't particularly valued.

should tipping be racist!

out of town depends on service and personality

but at my local brewpub i tip well and i never have to ask for another drink, it's filled automatically as if by magic and my food order goes to the front of the list in the kitchen no matter now busy they are

I tip 25% except to whoever cuts my hair. Then I tip around 50%. I was a waitress one summer, too.

[al_c]

I generally tip 20%. It can vary depending on service. Bad service gets a conversation with management.

[minnesota_bound]

If the waitress has cleavage she is gonna get a big tip from me.

I’m a good tipper, even figuring the tip on the total, tax included - but ONLY if you come and take my order and do a good job.

My beef is about the stupid “tip jars” at the cash register (and/or the tip line on the credit card receipt) where I’ve had to stand in line for you to take my order and my money. They may bring my order to the table, and most of the time I have to bus my table.

Don’t expect a tip if I’m helping you do the work! If I order at a counter, it ain’t happenin’ !!
