The whole "tipping 15%" thing has always seemed nonsensical to me. I eat at a Waffle House and the bill is $7, I should tip $1.05. If I eat at Morton's and the bill is $70, I should tip $10.50. Don't the waitresses work the same amount? Shouldn't they be tipped the same? How about a shift to a standard $2/person tip.
- maxerickson 13y agoNo, they probably don't work the same amount. (and there are probably more people taking a share of the larger tip)
- jtbigwoo 13y agoTo add to that, I worked with a guy who waited at a top-flight steakhouse. They had about 200 seats and would have as many as sixty people in service (in addition to dozens of cooks and dishwashers). He usually had two to four tables and had to split tips with two or more assistant waiters, a busboy, and the bartender.
- cpwright 13y agoMy expectations for service with a $70 meal are much different than a $7 meal; so having a different tip makes sense.
