I'm a waitress at a casual dining restaurant so expect my tips to usually be at least 15 to 20%. But of course that is not always the case. I treat every table as i would like to be treated. I'm not a horrible waitress because I have made very good tips before and customers tell me they love my service. Some people just DO NOT KNOW HOW TO TIP! For example, today, I got a $5 tip on a $51 tab. That's not even 10%! Then, last week, I was stiffed by a table. They left me no tip at all. I waited on them perfectly too. What some people don't understand is at most restaurants waitstaff have "tipshare" these are tips that automatically are deducted from our tips and are given to bartenders, host persons, bus boys, etc. They are taken out even if we aren't tipped. They are based on the amount of sales for the night. So if I don't get tipped by you i still owe tipshare. So basically, I have paid to wait on you!!!! I'm sorry but that doesn't pay the bills. So i want to know how much you tip!
