Remember how Hillary basically stiffed a waitress on upstate NY, I think on her “listening tour”?
I waited on tables in college... Including the midnight shift at IHop ... Had a big crowd after the bars closed at two a.m. :)
I think most of us who worked in restaurants are generally pretty generous when it comes to tipping.
I remember when Hillary got pan handled and gave the bum a ticket to her rally.
Niteowl77 waitressed in her younger days, and she has never been stingy with her tips. Well, almost never… she knows blatantly poor service when she sees it. (Nobody can assess a waiter/waitress like someone who has done that work for a while… former wait staff is a tough audience.)
Nonetheless, any server who is on the ball or engaging does okay at our table. They probably think we are nuts.

Agreed....
For 6-7 years my group of friends meet for lunch every Wednesday at the same restaurant & time. The meals are in the $7-9 range. I always leave a $5 tip as does one other gentleman. The others manage to squeak out $2 apiece....one I envision moths flying out of his wallet.
It’s business with me - every Wednesday the huge corner booth is always ready & clean with a “reserved” plaque clearly displayed on the table.
