Don't walk into a restaurant with less than five dollars to tip your server. I don't care if your tab is 7 dollars or 20. Most waitstaff are paid 2.13/hour, and don't receive much of a paycheck (I typically get a 30 dollar paycheck every two weeks) due to taxes on reported tips, as well as taxes on the hourly wage being subtracted from said paycheck.
20% for a "better," middle-of-the road restaurant, as was demonstrated here.
25% for "fine dining" which I've only done once in my life.
Also, if your party is larger than four people, tip an extra 5% in all circumstances.
I also tip a little more if there is left-over food that the waiter wraps up for me.
Here's another "tip." Sometimes the waiter gives me FREE stuff like a soda or something; in this case I also give him half of what it would cost from the menu.
Amen! Please share and spread the word.
