I don't understand the Crystal Light thing. The server will gladly put a lemon wedge in your water. I assume that the wedge is meant to flavor the water vs serving as a garnish. I've been told that if you put the lemon slice between your thumb and index finger and squeeze, lemon juice will be forced out of the wedge and into the water. I conjecture that if one then adds a packet of sugar or sweetener, which is also provided by the restaurant, that one would have a glass of lemonade.

As for tipping, I usually over tip. If, however, the server has somehow concluded that charm and over bubbly personality are substitutes for good service, a different outcome will likely occur.
