Yes. 20%.
That's generous. Do you tip for take out?
Yes. 20%.
Yes. I don't base it on a percentage. I tend to tip based on performance regardless of where I go. I've found it really helps out at local places because whether I'm getting a little or a lot, my tendency to tip well gets me better service than others some of the time. If I go to a fancy restaurant I don't really see why the waitress deserves anymore there than the waitress at the local diner or vice-versa. As a side note, I tend to get irrationally angry at people who don't tip. I just feel that if you can't afford to tip, you can't afford to eat out/get delivery.
Haven't ever worked in food service either for the record, just a thing about me.
I tip if the service was satisfactory. If it's under ten dollars, I tip two dollars. Over ten and it's three dollar tip. Over 20 and it's a four dollar tip. You see the pattern.
I will also say it was very rare for me to of been tipped when I delivered radiators, and it's still rare for my drivers to be tipped.
So your tips become increasingly less generous as the price increases?
I've used this method of tipping for years. I don't bother with percentages.
If you tip $8 on a $60 meal, you deserve whatever happens to you.
Fixed it for you since you didn't do the math or follow the pattern.
If you tip $4 on a $60 meal, you deserve whatever happens to you.
That's still godawful.
