If you don't have the money to tip then probably eating at home would be best. I always think about the server as if they had a couple of kids at home and have financial responsibilities that we all have and they are not doing the job to stay busy. Imagine the person to be someone from your family. We start at 20% and sometimes more but never ever less.
Agree . We always acknowledge and engage wait staff when seated. It does go a long way in the way we are treated and served.
