re: Tipping percentage increase

I only tip waiters & waitresses

I do not tip servers

I always thought a tip was a way of saying thanks. I’d usually tip $18 / 20% for sit down service and a few for delivery. Now it seems 20% is starting point and we are expected to tip everyone’s income.

I've always done 20% and then round up to the nearest dollar. If the server pisses me off or the place absolutely sucks I'll drop it to 15%. This is for meals served at a sit down restaurant. Every other place can F off. If I'm standing at a counter ordering you get zero.

Tipping has gotten out of control and the snapback is going to be glorious. Tipping might be a thing of the past inside 10 years with the hate it's getting now.

Besides, most of these people vote democrat. Gotta make this economy hurt. I’m paying more for everything and there’s not enough to go around. Sorry.

I don’t know if I’ve seen these deviate from 15%, 18%, and 20%.

Higher end restaurants have gone up to 25, 30 and 35%. I usually tip well for good service, but I was frustrated the first time I saw 25, 30 and 35%.

I am also a sucker and tip on tax, so I tip an extra 2-2.5% of the total bill for no service other than the government taxing me.

Idgaf you do good to great you get 15%, if your average and I’m waiting around for drinks and food and I look up and your playing on your phone… probably going to tip very very low if at all.

Now if they are absolutely amazing I will do 20%


Ain’t no way in hell I will give much more then that, everything is expensive enough as it is, I will give the 15% for good service

I've always just double the tax. Though I do think that tipping culture has gotten out of control. Especially with everyone using POS Toast variants. The system automatically asks for a tip and also will charge you a 3% credit card fee.

The higher the bill, the less I tip. Big bills like $500 get 15% but a $30 bill gets 25%. The next 3 nights, I have a client golf trip at a golf resort. We have reservations for 8 for 3 nights in a row. I expect the bill to be about $800 per night. At $800, the server will be tipped $120. We will be there a max of 2 hours. I don’t feel like $60 an hour is unfair.

I tipped 35% at Fontenot's Cajun Way this weekend.

The girl was cute and attentive.
