I generally start out at 20%... and then your tip gets reflected by the service you give.


20% for a friendly server who is timely and get the shit right.
less for rude, or unattentive or stupid people
more for above and beyond servers.

i usually double tax and then go up to the next dollar. If the service is bad tho i will go lower then the double tax. But again if it is excellent service maybe a few dollars over the 16%

5 dolla...5 dollar footlongs.

I try to go for 20% regardless. I'm gay. We are considerate.

about 20%. you have to think about factoring the price of the tip in with the meal before you even go out to eat :0

I usually give the standard 20% unless they show me they don't want it.

I left a 20cent tip once, I think about 10 years ago at Denny's. The waiter was a prick.
