I consider myself a very good tipper, but I've noticed the following is becoming a popular trend with waiters & waitresses...
They bring your bill, you hand them cash, and instead of going to check you out & bring your change, as soon as they have your money in hand they ask "Do you need change?".
Ok... First of all if my food total is $40 and I hand her a $50, and he/she asks me "Do you need change" it's not that big of a deal, I say keep the change.
But, in cases like the other day I was at a restaurant and my bill was just under $50, and I handed her a $100 Bill and shes asks me that same question, I'm thinking to myself What The Hell.
Bottom line is... Is it even right for them to be putting the customer on the spot like that by asking "Do you need change?" instead of just being a good server and leaving it up to the customer what they decide to tip...?
