Last night my family threw my wife and I a surprise baby shower (I knew about it but my wife did not).

The bill for about 10 of us was 220 and my dad gave the waiter a 40 dollar tip. The waiter looked at him with amazement and looked like he was about to start crying before shaking my dad's hand and saying, "thank you so much".

BTW, we were in a Mexican Restaurant.

that's not cheap at all !

15% for shitty service is generous when 18% is considered normal.

its cheap when these other rx ballers are dropping 50%-100% tip on excellent service

20% if they are good. 15% if they are average to less than average. 10% if they suck. 0% if i felt like i waster money because of them.......Ill tip a lil more if they make my experience there more enjoyable or im at the golf course i play at most often. Anything more is wasting money, IMO. If everybody tipped what is expected, which is 20% if they are good IMO, I think everybody would be happy. They are servers, not brain surgeons.

that'sas stupid as big bet's uncalled for comment !

Most restaurants I go to automatically charge 18% for parties of eight or more. Even though it's usually just my girlfriend and I, I figure if it's good enough for the restaurant then it's good enough for me. Paying more than you need to is foolish; if a server gets offended at 18% they can find another job.

10% if they talk too much. 15% if they keep their mouth shut and keep my tea glass full.

Yeah agreed, I don't understand flat tippers. Drives me crazy. Horrible servers (like, blatantly "I don't give a fuck about you" servers) don't deserve the same compensation as those that go above and beyond.

I'm usually 20% for average, 10% for awful (I'll leave zero if someone is a straight up bitch), 30% or more for someone who deserves it. And by "deserves" it I don't mean kissing my ass...just friendly good service without too much yapping.

automatic 18 % is fine on a large party. These types tend to linger longer than normal and stay to chit-chat about whyever they are there....reunion or whatever and drinking coffee for an hour is not good for tips.

I have no problem with the automatic tip on large parties, Canadians, other Foreigners, Negroes, etc.

The tip should be be in large part up to the diner/patron so as exceptional service can be rewarded and poor service punished.

I can see tipping 30-50% on a small Breakfast bill, but rarely over 25% for dinner....unless there is a happy ending forthcoming !

Seriously a $50 dinner check and a $10 tip is not cheap, $9 is fine, $7 is ....well substandard.If I had that table , I'd be a bit puzzled....I got tipped, but a bit short....they must have liked everything OK enough....where is the other $2 ? I have to toke out the busboy and kitchen as a waiter, that $2 would go that way.

I usually tip 25%-30%. If service is top tier, I have no problems tipping 50%.
