I tip 10% for takeout, 20% for full service. Restaurant employees get paid crap. If it is a restaurant where I know the wait staff and manager, 20% is my minimum. Takeout (not pizza) requires some effort to package and check.

Excellent post.

Sounds like you worked in the business in a younger lifetime. :)

My father always tipped 20% even 6 decades ago, for cabs, restaurants, etc. I always thought that was a good amount.

I’ve always preferred to tip in cash, though, fearing that some people don’t really get their full tips.

“Restaurant employees get paid crap. “

Personally, I don’t see the $16 and $17 here as “crap”.

“Restaurant employees get paid crap.”

They do. But they know that when they accept the job. I did. Ninety cents an hour plus tips.

If they want more pay, get better skills.
