[QUOTE=Golfingnut;683251]What on earth was the person thinking. That would be 1 1/2% yes, one and one half percent tip. Mad at the bartender for some reason or just plain out of touch with reality.[/QUEven the

Even the $2.27 would be a barely adequate tip on a bill of $17.73. OMG, the waitstaff at these restaurants must hate to see Villagers come in!

Not to hijack this thread but a similar question, please.

Yesterday, I went to Sonny's at 3pm and ordered 3 pounds of pulled pork to go (for an evening party). Since it was Happy Hour, I sat down at the bar and ordered myself a draft beer. I had the 2 for 1 beers ($3) and the pulled pork. Total bill with tax was $38.50.

Should I have tipped on the total or just the beer?

If the person getting my drink went & got me the pork, I might have just given a little extra. I wouldn't normally tip on a to go order. Sometimes it might depend on the circumstance.

Just the beer unless Dennis was working. He is a hoot and should get a little extra. Only Kidding, only the beer. What most make a mistake at is tipping only the total bill after using a coupon or some special discount. That incorrectly hurts the wait staff.

Had lunch there last Wed and forgot our readers.

When I went by the hostess I mentioned I was going to the car for my readers and she offered me readers from a bag of glasses she had.

Only problem:

Ordered beer and forgot to say we would share so we got 4. We struggled through

Wife got Wed. 2 for 1 fajitas. They brought out 1 to the table and the 2nd just before the bill arrived already boxed so we could have it the next day.

Waitress got 20% tip for good service.

Damn; no drama to report. I hate when that happens.

When I get carry out at Sonny's, and the waitress meets me with a smile, and brings the order in a reasonalbe amount of time, I always give the waitress a couple of bucks. Makes her feel good and me too.

We ate there last night. Enjoyed a very nice meal which we ended up taking some home. Our waitress was a very nice, polite young lady who kept checking on us. We had a good time.

I have been to Cody's dozens of times since the first day it opened in 2009. I have never seen anyone in a management role shout or speak harshly to a server or bartender. I have always had a good time there and will continue going to Cody's for a long time.
