Do you tip at least 20%? Unacceptable!!
How much do you tip? I tip somewhere between 12% for lunch and 15% for dinner. If the server makes more than a couple of trips to the table, recommends a good dish, or just gives exceptional service, I might tip as high as 18%.
I didn't realize what a cheapskate I am. According to waitress/actress Theresa Burkhart, "I find it unacceptable for people not to know that the tipping rate is 20 percent."
I always thought tipping was optional, but apparently not. So if you're cheap and ignorant like me, please check out Fairtip.org, dedicated to persuading restaurants to implement an automatic 20 percent service fee on every check.
Oh, and if you found this article useful, I'm charging a $2 tip per reading. Please email me your credit card number and expiration date. (Insert cute smiley face the waitresses always put at the end of the bill here).
