My mother did some waitressing when my parents first got divorced I saw first hand how little money she made but how hard she worked.
This was during the time when they were allowed to pay less than min. wage because the government claimed that they would make it up in tips.
Anyhoo....she pounded into me the importance of tipping when it comes to good service. I always make sure to leave a nice tip.
If it's a place I want to frequent often then I make sure to leave an even nicer tip.
My dad on the other hand is a cheap mother fucker. When we go out to eat and he says something like..."don't worry I've got the tip." I always wait until he's not looking and throw down what should cover at least 15%.
