I was always told 15% is the standard tip for a waitress, and less in undertipping. I've held by that rule and usually over that, but I try to stay in my budget which is tight. But it seems I am wrong since I've had my credit card bill come back with an extra two dollars added on top of my tip. So before I get worked up, has a standard changed? And even if it has don't I have a right to decide how much tip I give? I mean what if it was horrible service? It ticks me of that someone just helps themselves to something that is supposed to be my decision. If I had left cash it wouldn't have mattered now would it? I don't expect my wallet to be raided everytime I hand over a credit card. I thought tipping was a polite thing to do, but apparently I get smacked in the face for doing it wrong. While I try not to be a lousy tipper I don't think it should matter when it comes to restaurants charging something they don't have permission for. What do you think?
