I had a waiter come out to the lot to be sure I didn’t tip him too much.
The service was fantastic and I tipped 25%. It was The Great Caruso in Houston.
*****************************
I usually tip fairly high, and tend to be a regular at places I like. At one such place during a period when I was down on my luck (broke), the wait staff was with managerial permission adding to my orders with employee discount meal items they would add to my modest order.
It was only for about a week and my fortunes changed, and we went back to the normal exchange, but I never forgot the kind turnaround at that place, from all the people who worked there.
Not to go out on a limb, but if you were broke, should you really have been dining out? ;)
