I always tip at least 15% when eating out. If I'm at the bars, it's $1 for each drink on my tab, and maybe a little extra if they were made on the tough side.
I always have to jump on my parents about tipping when we go out together. They'll be inclined for the server to 'keep the change' but I'll have to double check them to make sure it's at least 15%. The least I've ever tipped is 37 cents on a $20 meal. Guy took our order and didn't show up until he was ready to cash us out. |

That logic seems kind of skewed. I know I'm getting the service from my doctors that their lobbyists demand. My waitress plays no part in that scheme.

I'm sorry, I'm not trying to offend anyone - I simply feel that one is a more essential service than the other.

I'm not a waiter, so I'm not offended. However, I assume that one is going to drive home in a benz that we're all paying for with our insurance premiums to screw tha maid on non-golf day and the other is going home on the city bus to pay for their fatherless child's asthma medication. I know my waiter will bring me food after 2 or 3 on a friday afternoon, my doctor I can't say as much for.

I'm going to say this as nice as possible. Your logic is flawed to a obscene degree.

Perhaps my logic is flawed in your (generally referring to the last 4 or so posters) opinions, and perhaps you're right. However, thats how I feel. Waiters/waitresses ARE being paid. If they were paid solely off tips, I'd tip, but they do draw a salary. |

Cut him a break, he's from Canada; you know, where they got universal healthcare right. Maybe he's just cheap.
