I used to think it was only the older generation that was cheap... my Dad really does leave exactly 15 percent at restaurants! And then you see groups of old ladies leaving CHANGE on the table after having a large meal...
but now I think about it, even lots of my friends who are in their 20s and 30s are stingy tippers.
15%??? NO!!!!! You leave 20% as a bare minimum. If I have even decent service at a restaurant or bar I leave 25% to a third.
I guess it's because I used to be a bartender so I've seen first-hand the effects of cheap tippers (it was only my living on the line, nothing important!). Why don't these people realize that waitstaff and barstaff receive virtually no wage, and make most of their money from tips?
You should not be cheap in ANY aspect of your life. There is nothing worse than a cheap individual.
