How much do you tip?

Same as I have on the 30,000 other tip threads.

This. It should be borderline insta-ban to make another one of these threads.

Double the tax.

I keep a running tally at restaurants based on performance


Start at 15%

Major factors of consideration

Timely drink order/refills +/- 1%
Timely food order +/- 1%
Attitude +/- 2%
Order accuracy (subjective) +/- 2%
Cleanliness +/- 2%
Attentiveness +/- 2%

Hardly anybody ever gets the full extra 10%, but it's a decent gauge of performance based tipping

* order accuracy can be kitchen's fault, but usually they will let you know who messed up... freebies will boost score in this category

Tax doubled

Depends on breast size and how much is showing. I've left huge tips on a table for waitresses showing lots of cleavage.

20% is usually the base though and goes up from there. Rarely goes below unless there is dogshit service.

Damn,I go out to eat to enjoy it, not to do some sort of complex multivariate analysis.

I tip pretty good unless they really suck, partly consider it my charitable donation and I really appreciate people who are enthusiastic about something I would not want to do.

This is easy.

Just look at the tax and multiply that by 50%. If the waitress is cute, I might even throw in the change.

Counter service places are not tipping situations. Sonic gets the coin change. Pizza, if hot gets $4 per pie.

Chick who cuts my hair gets $10 if I'm not bleeding afterwards. Maybe more if blood was involved.
