THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO THINK TIPPING IS A CITY IN CHINA!
In an earlier post I said that I typically tip $20% of the pre-tax/fees total. But, that doesn't mean that I like or agree with the practice. A practice, by the way, which puts pressure on the server to upsell from the burger to the steak and drink other than water. Suggest appetizers and dessert. Oh, and for $x dollars more you can have the salad bar. Your $10 dollar burger and water has become $63. You may have had an average waiter/waitress, but you got a great sales person.
Best of all, even though you didn't get what you wanted, you let everyone know you can afford it and you won't have to suffer those who want to show that you are a cheapskate.
