[QUOTE="jdc753, post: 3657320, member: 572078"] This is exactly the same way I feel, I don't understand leaving it as a percentage, go to a fancy restaurant and order a single plate that cost $30 and a single drink for $5 and all of a sudden you have to pay more for the service where instead you went to Applebee's and got your entire meal for $15 however it was all the same single plate item and single drink said and done. When the bills start to get higher yet there is little to nothing extra for work then I would start to cut back the % of the tip, however if the bill was high due to like 500 little items then I feel more work was done on the part of the server and I would feel fine giving a bigger % tip. For example I went to this "family style buffet" place where you don't really order they just bring plates of chicken, salad, pasta and fries and everyone was drinking water with pitchers on the table. When the bill comes to $200 for the I don't feel like giving the same tip as if we were at a standard restaurant were each person was served individually on a plate to plate and drink to drink basis.
