“10.) Rachael Ray: Promotes less than 20 percent tip on her show.”

Maybe I’m getting old, but I was raised to tip 15% and that’s what I still do. How much do these people want these days?

Quite a few notorious libs on that list. Imagine that - they’re only generous with other people’s money.

I used to wait tables and now never tip less than 20% and usually more like 25 or 30 percent. The only time I tip less is if the server is willfully evil or negligent. If the server is just super busy or gets screwed by the kitchen but still has a good attitude, I’ll still tip well. I know what hard work it is.

I have a tip.

Never check the time on your wrist watch when you're holding a cup of coffee.

I do 15 percent then round up to the next dollar. Makes for faster credit card signing.

Nowadays, I thought tips were “included” in the bill? I see it all the time on my final bill....

My standard for as long as I can remember is 15% for OK service, and 20% for good. And if she puts on a show for me, I take note and add 5% per peek.

My gut feel is that these celebrity A$$HOLES think that just being in their presence is enough reward for the server.

BTW, I am usually in the 15% to 20% range for most tipping situations.

The best service I ever had was in a restaurant in Charleston, SC in 1983. Wish I could remember the name of it. The guy serving us was invisible, until we needed something and then he was simply there. Like smoke, he was. He came by once at the appropriate time and asked, “How does the food taste, sir?” Not “How we doin?” or “Doin okay, man?” or “Hey, buddy, everything alright?” like we were best buds on campus.

I tip 20% for good service. 15% or less for barely adequate or poor service.

Tiger gave that Waffle House waitress more than just the tip.
