How big of a tip do you leave at restaurants?

zero- I dine & dash

At least 20% unless the service sucks and more if it's exceptional.

My parents used to take me to Ponchos all the time. It was good back in the day.

I live in a small town where you are going to be a repeat customer of every place in town. I tip well. I've had them serve me after hours.

20%

Amazing Service - 25%
Good Service - 20%
Average Service - 15%
Bad Service - 10%
shite, Awful, Horrible Experience - $0.01

20% if the service is good to very good. A bit more for excellent. 15% for adequate. I've left nothing before, but the service was an idiot with no social skills.

I usually do some quick math in my head that comes out to just under 20%, then add or subtract a dollar or two depending on service


so like a 26.40 bill, I'll tip 4.20, then maybe round it up to 5 or 6 if the service was really good.

Depends on her tits.

20% most of the time.

If it is terrible, I might tip less, but usually only out of laziness and rounding down.

If it's great I'll bump it a little, but not on any formula. Usually on account of pleasant young girls/dudes who are busting their arse.

I'm sure it's not proper, but I don't generally go significantly above 20% for good service at nicer establishments. Thought being that it is more anticipated there, bills are larger, and a lot of those folks are pulling in solid incomes.
