I used to work at a pretty nice family owned Italian restaraunt. All I did was bussed tables but working there I learned a lot from the servers. They expect tips to be above 15% no matter what, and they prefer 20%. Some have even said that anything below 20% is a 'bad tip'. So regardless whenever I go out to eat as long as I have enough money I always try and tip at least 20% unless the service was particularly shitty. These servers don't make a lot of money and most of what they do make comes from tips. Plus it makes you look like a pimp if you spend lots of money lol.
smokerofweed420 Reviewed by smokerofweed420 on . tipping at restaurants... you just had a 100$ dinner... what do you tip, if any at all? just wondering... i can't consciencly walk out of a resturant without leaving a tip, but the wife, on bad service, prefers to just get up and walk out.... even if the quality of food and service was complete shit i just can't leave without feeling guilty if i've left nothing at the table but dirty plates... so do you tip? and if so how much?
