It is an interesting subject that none of us want to talk
about. Go out with a couple of friends and we all struggle to figure out the
15% of the total bill to divide as a tip.
I personally am not a good tipper. I also do not attend many dining establishments
anymore.
My ole school thinking is “I could go to the kitchen and bring the plate
back, just like at home”. Mom never got a tip. My teacher never got a tip. The
policeman didn’t get a tip. The bank robber got a tip and got arrested. Don’t
think getting your spouse a vacuum cleaner is giving a tip.
Listen to this:
On behave of my inattention to filling the cup by the poor guitarist
playing in the snow on the sidewalk, when the service is extraordinary (above
average – like the server can remember who ordered what ten minutes ago on a
slow night). If I pay with a credit card (especially after a few drinks) I just
add a couple of 0’s to the total as a tip. I prefer to pay a tip in cash to
hand it to the person making sure the establishment is not trimming off the
profit.
Nothing better than a dollar bill in the garter.
