This might only apply to US-based sinkers. But, how much do you generally tip?
In the past, I used to just take 15% and round up to the nearest dollar. The last few years, I've tried to be nicer though and go closer to 18-20%, especially if the service is good or the waitress is flirty.
So what do you guys generally do?
I'm thinking about this because tonight, I went by myself to a chain-restaurant and sat at the bar for dinner. I ordered like 5 drinks but the guy rang one of them in as a water. Super nice move. But on a $38.79 tab I gave him a $7 tip. Which comes out to just shy of 17%. I feel like, for all the time I was there and how attentive he was, I should have been a better tipper.
Thought? genuinely curious.
