Friday Fun: how much do you tip?
Dec 7th, 2007 by nancyzimmerman
Million Dollar Journey had a really fun post that appealed to the voyeur in me. He asked his readers, how much do you tip?
As the holiday season approaches, if you want to be a santa, not a scrooge, check out the blog’s responses and see how you stack up.
And if you’re bold – leave a comment here: how much to you tip?
It’s 15% for me pre-tax.
Maybe I just don’t go to the fancy restaurants but I don’t see how saying, “may I take your order?”, “how’s everything going?” or “are you finished?” constitutes as service deserving a tip.
Shouldn’t that be expected?
Now, if they were particularly engaging I can see it. But not when they stop off 3 times as aforementioned through the course of the meal.
I tip at about 15% of my pre-tax bill too. Usually since I live in NB and we have a 14% tax I just look at that and round up to the nearest logical amount.
I will only not tip if the service was bad.
