All you have to do take the order correctly and bring the items to the table,how much do you honestly think you deserve for that,its not like you are saving lives or somthing. No offence to anyone here who is a server,I totally understand what you go through,years ago when I worked at home depot,one time this old lady gave me 6 cents as a tip,yes 6 cents,I looked at it in my hand look at her then dropped it on the ground and walked away. Anyway,some people cant afford a huge tip,some people give you what they feel you deserve(the server will always feel they deserve more) some people are just assholes and some people are big tippers,typically huge tips have nothing to do with good service,it usually the customer showing off. Me personally,I try to give the server atleast 10 dollars, regardless of how little I order or how short of a time im in there,thats if they dont piss me off. Im never a dificult over-demanding customer,so it is very easy to please me.
Let me first say I am going to generalize here, because what I describe below doesn't happen every time, but it does most of the time.
Children tend to make absolute messes at the table and usually the family does not try to clean up after them and leave it entirely for the server and they usually never say sorry for making a pigpen out of your section. It's just polite to at least say sorry and a decent tip for having to clean up after your mess would be nice.
The elderly are usually extremely particular, they will send food back more than most and tend to ask for different things every time you come to the table. This is ok, they are aged and require a bit more attention, there is nothing wrong with that. I just wish they would reciprocate this into a decent tip more often. I am no longer a server though so I no longer have to deal with any of this stuff.
I also understand some people cannot afford a huge tip, which is fine. And no a server doesn't always expect more. Whenever I got 15% on a table I was satisfied, especially considering other than my first shot at waiting tables where I was particularly horrible, I was a damn good server and busted my ass. Perhaps I should have gotten more but I also wasn't working at the nicest restaurant around, so the clientele wasn't exactly great. Still, if you go to a restaurant, please understand that a tip also goes along with the meal, if you can't afford both, it would be wise not to go out to eat imo.
