[QUOTE="tRidiot, post: 5774854, member: 569830"] I'm not sure I agree with the above.... even though I've been there/done that. Does it cause you more work to bring out a $60 steak than a $12 plate of pasta? Not really, no, but you want to get paid $2.40 to bring out the pasta and $12 to bring out the steak? Sorry, I don't buy that.... And I don't think 15% is shitty tipping, either. Waitstaff in some places may think that, especially if they cater to higher-class clientele, but some of us are struggling financially and to add on 8-10% for taxes, then another 20% for our waiter/waitress... the total of the meal is only 2/3 of your bill at that point. Let me ask you, redliner, answer truthfully, how much do you clear in tips per night (weekday and weekend) for your 6 hours or so of work? This is assuming a 4-10 or 4:30-10:30 shift... maybe an hour or 2 longer at the most. Seriously, how much do you make in tips? [/QUOTE]
