I always like how people tell others how to tip. There are websites and guides devoted to it and its all bullshit.
I remember this one resturant I used to go to alot started giving out these little plastic calanders. On one side was the calander, and on the other side was a quick refference guide for 15% tips and 20% tips. They gave them to you along with your bill. I never went back to that place after that because of it.
For example, when you visit a resturant, some of the things you should consider:
1). Did the waiter check back often to see if your drinks were full, or let you sit there dry? Or did they try to avoid you by hanging around in the kitchen and pretending not to hear you when you signaled that you'd like a refill.
2). Speed of service. Did the waiter get your order quickly, return with your food quickly?
3). Did the waiter offer extra napkins? Stop by and ask if there was anything else you needed? Offer sauce, ketchup or whatever.
You should tip based on YOUR satisifaction with the service, product, atmospehe and the whole experince. If you aren't happy, don't leave a tip. Many waiters and waitresses have come to expect tips. Fuck them. Tips are for good service. The price listed on the menu is for wham, bam thank you mam service.
There have been plenty of times I have left a resturant without leaving a tip because the service was so rotten. Good service deserves an extra bonus and that bonus is the tip.
Poor service deserves nothing.
