I do tip and I also waitress. Strictly part time now. Most people I have found do tip. Very few don't. I tip according to the waitress not the food. It is not her fault if the chef can't get it right. If she or he handles the situation nicely and works to resolve it that says more to me than a perfect meal and a rude waitress.

I also tip . I tip 20% . The reason is. My son is a kitchen manager in a very nice family owned business and he makes a decent salary,but the waitress' are paid a small base pay. It is well below minimum wage. Here is the clencher,They are taxed according to their sales......you get the pic? Even if they do not get tiped on a $100.00 ticket they are taxed on it.
10% tip is exceptable ,but keep in mind that most waitstaff tip out their busbys if they have one and also in most cases they HAVE to tip the bartender on any bar drinks ordered.
I tip well and it shows with he service I get at the restruants I frequent. Also because I tip I feel ok in asing for a member of management if the food is not prepared well or services is lousey. I have complained 2 times ,because I know everyone hasa bad day, but I could not sit there with 2 hungry grandkids and a diabetic husband about to go low while my waitress was smoking a cigarette out front. I know what ticket time is for different foods 20 minutes past time is not excetable to me....the food was comped for that meal and tip was paid by mangement.
There is justice for those who behave well in public.....JAN in NC
