How much do you tip restaurant servers?


For me, I'd say around 10-20 percent. I don't really focus on getting the math precise - just throw in the adequate amount of singles or fives or whatever.

15%

20% average. There are some restaurants I go to every week where they know me so I tip more.

20% or more for really good service.

Do you believe in tip co-ordination?

I assumed it was going to be a Seinfeld link, I wasn’t that far off.

If you're going to tip, to make it easier so you don't have to figure out how much is this and how much is that, just double the tax.

ETA: Unless of course you go to a outrageously expensive restaurant. Then fuck that shit. 😂😂😂😂

I haven't been out in a while but most of the places I go to when I go are about 15-20 dollars a meal. I normally drop a 5.

Generally 20% and yes the same, doesn't have to be exact. Move the decimal to the left once and times by two and whatever closest dollar amount that is.

Most of the time service is good and I tip 20%, sometimes not so good and they get 10 or 15. On two occasions in my life it was so bad I didn't tip at all.

Usually, at least 20%, but I very rarely eat out.
