I don't know, I've always tipped between 20% and 22%. the higher if I get really good service. I've never not tipped, if a place doesn't have good service I just don't go back.

There's no such thing to me as a bad waiter, waitress, there's bad management and bad policy, and I can punish them by refusing to return and telling my friends if they ask.

But for the most part, and maybe I'm over romanticizing things, but I don't feel like kicking the crap out of some girl or gal who's been on their feet for 8 hours dealing with people, and maybe a nice tip will turn a sour day into a good day.

And really what's an extra 4 or 5 or 10 bucks?
