So what is the proper amount? It used to be that tips reflected the service provided. The "suggested" amount was 15%. At some point, someone determined the "suggested" amount is now 18% - not sure who that person is. I am sure the "suggested" amount will soon go to 20%. In a previous post, it was suggested that tips should be built in. I am in favor of this. However, there are two issues. The first is that you have little recourse for bad service. The second is that I have belonged to a club where an 18% tip was automatically added in but they left a place on the receipt for "additional tip". Presumably you would provide an "additional tip" for very good service, which is sort of what the definition of a tip was. So then we have two levels of tips: the mandatory and the optional.

How about a small survey to see if the waitstaff service is up to par like poor service, good service and excellent service. Maybe this will make management aware if changes, need to be made.
Everyone has to make a living. If one does want to tip the proper amount, then one should eat at home.
Old subject with probably the same opinions expressed. Nuff said..........
