How much do you tip?

[Wolfie*]

I know there's usually a protocal with paying 7% but do people usually do that? I usually just pay $6.00 on any bill when I go out and eat. I think that's a fair tip. How you usually do it? Is it based on the bill or it's always the same?

15% if its good service.

20% if its exceptional.

If its substandard, I start subtracting from the 15%.

In estalisments which automatically deduct a "gratuity", I tip nothing, as they've already predetermined what they feel their servers are due, whether they are good or not. Generally, I will avoid these establishments altogether.

I let them keep the change.

Too much. I over tip all the time if the person is cool or if service is very professional. Today at breakfast we tipped $7 on 25 which is too much but not a big deal. My issue is when I tip 30 bucks on 100, totally unnecessary. I think I do it because I don't want people thinking I'm cheap lol, it's to satisfy my own ego. That being said if the person isn't very good I have no issue leaving nothing. Yesterday the bartender asked if I was driving(i wasnt) because I had 5 double rye mojitos in an hour and she thought that was a bit much. I don't mind the question, but she kept going on about it. I left her five bucks on sixty just for the nagging.

Is it 7% or 15%? I don't know, I don't follow it.

I over tip, my partner's family on the other hand.. ehhhhhhhhhhhhhh, not so much?

I swear under tipping pisses me off to no ends. These folks depend on tips more so than their hourly wages and some assholes actually feel upset leaving some change behind.

Oh really? I would think you would tip her more because she cares about your well being? I understand about the over tipping. I was like that when I usually tipped $20.00 at this one food place but it was only because I wanted to **** the waitress who worked there. This was back when my game was weak and I thought women just wanted to know you had money. lol

it depends on how many times they came back to check on me/us

That's a solid protocol. I hate it when places already put in the tip. It's annoying.
