See, Tiberius, this is where I think you are stretching it a bit. You actually got INTO Sunset Grill for brunch?
You must have started lining up the night before.
by the way, I find it very difficult to resolve your avatar with your profession. Gives me the heebie-jeebies whenever I cross a bridge!
On the note of brunch, I attend Chinese brunch (Yim Cha) for dim sum quite a bit with various family and friends on a regular basis. There, the standard gratuitee is one dollar per person at the table. Since our table usually has 10 to 12 people, that's a $10 to $12 tip for a $100 or so meal.
Of course I feel badly about this customary approach, and because the servers pushing the carts are usually older Chinese women, I typically up the ante before I leave. (who knows, maybe these women all drive Mercedes and live in Markham, but there you go).
