Lady Sage usually will help me decide how much we leave. Most of the time she agrees with me. If we have a $25.34 check for example, I'll pay $4.65 then usually give a couple 1's also. Depends, I very rarely carry any cash so LS will leave the bills.
I have been known to be a very generous tipper making the above $35 if I feel service was outstanding.... which I'm easily impressed. I guess that's why we don't go out as much anymore.
From these 2 threads it has dawned on me how greedy some waitstaff is though. Some of you expect everyone to tip generously (15-20% to me is generous), yet, you never think that the people may not have it. Perhaps they just have enough to eat on and the tip isn't going to be that great. What you want to tell people they can't come into your establishment unless they can afford to tip also?
These threads have really opened my eyes to tipping and not in a positive way.
