How much do you tip? Do you always tip that regardless of service quality. I believe that the tip should be prorated according to service. If I feel they did a job of 4 on a 1-10 scale they get 8%, if they did 10 they get 20% and if it was amazing they get more and so on.

Well how you tip is up to you. When the service has been good I generally like to tip over a dollar. Apparently in some places you have to tip at least 15% of the bill. The waiter/ess will even stay at your table until you do so! Mind you, if the quality is poor(as in waiter/ess attitude) I don't tip at all.

I tip 15%. If the service was great I may give a really big tip, if the service is rude I may not tip at all (It has to be REALLY bad). Once, a waitress in a bad mood called my Mom a b***h under her breath(on the day of my Grandfather's funeral), she didn't think we heard. Not only did she NOT get a tip, but she also got FIRED.

I am a server at a fine dining restaurant and I have been doing this type of work for 8 years. It's fast and very good money. I KNOW I am a good server so I expect 20%. If I am getting very busy then I don't get upset if my tip percentage goes down a little. I would like to say the following: If you go out to eat PLEASE DO NOT ask for lemon with your water and then ask for sugar to make your own home made lemonade. That is just low class and trashy. DO NOT starting calling over the server while they are in the middle of a conversation with another table. That is just rude I know your mama's raised you better than that. DO NOT say you are ready to order and then start to "think" about what you want right then and there, we do have other tables!!! If you are with a big party please realize that it doesn't take 5 seconds to get your drinks ready, so be patience. After you are done eating please pay the check and leave. We have to "turn" our tables, that's the only way we make money so if you are catching up with your old friend you are waisting our time and our money, so you should pay for each 1/2 hour you sit there!!!!! Go to Starbucks or a park to catch up on old times, this is especially directed to you women out there! Thank you for listening.

depending on the service, about 10-15%. but if i go to buffets i only tip $1 or 2 since they're only clearing plates.

I totally agree. Good service, means good tip. Rude staff rarely get much more than 7% from me.

I am a very generous tipper if I get good service. If I get bad service I tip much less.

We ususally tip between 15% and 20%. If it's breakfast, sometimes a bit more (they had to get up very early to get there and be friendly at that hour).

I'm not sure. The clubs bill me and my amanuensis takes care of it along with other duties other than taking dictation. Probably around 20% unless the meal was exceptionally good and I instruct something a little extra.
