The Mom. Was she hawt?By the way, I delivered a baby, saved a dog and helped an old lady change her tire all on the way to work this morning...you don't see me bragging about it.
It just means they're better than you are and their seat in heaven will be closer to the throne than yours. :biggrin2:I tip between 15-20% regardless of the service. If I get great service, it's worth the 15-20% and we go back often. If I get bad service -- I tip (usually closer to 15%), but I never go back.....I won't ever stiff a waiter, but more than 20% -- you simply just have more money than you need.....and i'd be happy to take it off your hands....
My wife's nephew (I guess he's mine too) works at a restaurant part time and I've overheard him complaining about the amount of money certain people tip. You can tell when he's worked that week because that's all he'll talk about. One time he was on his soap box about it and my father in law finally asked him "What if they just didn't leave a tip and you got nothing? Be thankful that you got something."
Right. There's nothing wrong with performing "random acts of kindness" for your fellow man. The problem comes when you start expecting something in return or do it for the purpose of bragging to others about your "good deeds".
I think the big misunderstanding (and problem) comes because most tips are calculated by the price of the meal instead of the quality of service.
Personally I feel the restaurant needs to stop expecting the patrons to subsidize their employee's wages on top of paying the meal. I'd rather have the so called tip built into the price of the food and spread out across the menu so I never see that aspect of it.
