Smile, talk to me, check on my water, drink, food, show some interest and you'll get a good tip 30%, ignore me, be rude, make me get my own water refill and you'll get a bad tip and note explaining why, 5% or less. It's easy, treat me like you would want if you went out to dinner and you'll do well. I drink water so I can give you the $10.00 tip instead of ordering alcohol. I can't tell you how many times a waitress will assume I'm cheap because I drink water and then ignore me or be curt and rude. I have regular wait staff that know me and love having me in their sections. My point is treat people well and you'll be treated well with good tips. It isn't always the grumpy entitled Villagers fault the tip is bad, it often times is the servers attitude and preconceived idea of Viillagers.
