asking to check a transaction. Did I really mean to leave a 30% tip? Yes, I did. I always overtip. You can tell I've worked in the food industry. Is anyone else a big tipper because of that? Also I think it's really cool that they are pro-actively checking up on me. I've had 4 instances of fraud on different accounts in the last year and a half.

Big Boy and you yourself are a commissioned salesperson."Eventually one outgrows the fairy tales of childhood, belief in Santa and the Easter Bunny, and believing that SCs are even capable of imagining themselves in our position."

Trying to watch what I eat, I don't spend as much as I used to. I ask myself "How much would the wait staff make if someone else was at this table?"

If you have had problems in the past, you love it.
If you haven't had problems, it is an annoyance.

I usually tip 20%, although I don't eat out much now because no job. And I try to give the cash to the server because I've heard too many stories of people stealing tips off of tables and I don't trust people.When you start at zero, everything's progress.

I generally tip 20% now, due specifically to this web site...“There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged.
One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world.
The other, of course, involves orcs." -- John Rogers

Hubby and I usually tip 20% but have gone as high as 50% for exceptional service. We also "thank" favorite servers for special occasions (weddings, graduations, etc, or if we find they are moving on to new employment) with gift cards or gifts. One of our favorite servers at our favorite restaurant was moving up state, and mentioned how he and his sons were looking forward to doing some camping, so we got him a $100 gift card from Cabelas.The large print giveth, and the small print taketh away.
