I have a friend who used to be a waiter and she over-tips constantly. I also waited tables and I tip 20% and will go above a little for incredible service. But giving 40% is just showing off and throwing away your money. She tries to tip pizza delivery drivers $10. It drives us crazy, especially because the girl has absolutely no money as it is.

Mother frick. A whole $5


You must shite a brick when everyone splits a bill, and you had the cheapest meal





After a round of golf with Bandit recently, I got a text about our bill. He picked up the tab, and left like a 45% tip.

He sent me a picture of the email from Capital One making sure that he intended to leave such a generous tip and that he was not a fraud victim

The picture had the caption "frickin tequila"

I have a buddy that way overtips at bars esp if the waitress is hot. It's not like he has a chance with her or even makes a move, but if the bartender is hot he'll always blow it up. Typically tips around 50%.

I tip more because my wife and friends are a pan in the arse--they never can order easy and they work a poor server to death.

$65.89 meal? Move the decimal to 6.59 and double it
This is how I tip, except if the service is average or just below average, I round down to $6 then double. If service is above average, I round up $7 and double. If service is exceptional, I would just leave $20 on this size bill.

a MMF 3way situation can get very gay very fast without tip coordination.
as mikelbr would explain to you, a MMF 3way is by definition pretty gay because the two M's are written next to each other. however, in a MFM 3way, the tips are understood to be separated.

Lemme get this straight.

Your plan would have been to tip your server 20% of $43, or $8.60.

In your scenario, everyone would have tipped $2.87.

In real life, though, you are being asked to tip $5.00.

In case your math skills are bad, that's a difference of $2.13.

Two whole dollars and thirteen cents.

I just wasted that much of my company's productivity writing this post.

This.

Why make it all complicated by saying "you owe $17.20" when it's just easier to say $20.

If these are buddies you go out with a lot it all evens out in the end. Just pick up the next one if it matters that much.

It's not the amount of money, it's the principle of tipping 35%!

Why tip someone for a job I'm capable of doing myself? I can deliver food, I can drive a taxi, I can and do cut my own hair. I did, however, tip my urologist. Because I am unable to pulverize my own kidney stones.

He's said it's to make up for the poor tippers the server has gotten throughout the shift. It's some pompous shite, really.
