Basing a server's tip on meal price is unfair to those who work the breakfast shift or who work in reasonably priced restaurants. Is there a better system that could be developed?

Here is my system I tip $2.00 for every person in the party, if I go to breakfast with my family and we are four I tip $8.00 even if the meal cost me $30.00 dollars same thing for lunch and dinners. Now when I believe I got my moneys worth of the meal I might tip higher for isntance I went to Medevil Times and it was 6 of us and I left a $50.00 dollat tip around $8.00 per person, but my standard is $2.00 per person regardless of the time then service is a factor for a better tip. I tip this way for I am in the Food & Beverage service industry.

I generally follow the 15-20% rule, but I also base my gratuity on the level of service. I have had waiters that suck and should not be working and I have also had the ones that go above and beyond to make your dining experience pleasurable. I tip them very well. The local restaurants know that I am a good tipper and I can see the wait staff rushing to wait on my family all the time. It's kinda funny.

generally people who move to nicer places have worked thge breakfast shifts when they started. Look at it this way it's like advancment in any business you start off doing the crappy jobs and then move up. And to whoever said we can afford to be paid more realize the food prices will just make up for the fact we don't get tips so you will have to pay then...now you can adujust how much you tip.

If 15%-20% is not good for you then I tip $1 per person at the table. Although if the server works their tail end off then I generously tip...been in their spot before. You live off your tips.

15 to 20% is reasonable. Breakfast shifts have more turnover as do lower priced restaurant (diners and such). So they make more in terms of volume than per check.

Restaurants can be forced to pay a living wage like any other business and tipping can be done away with.

Tax times two. That way you do not tip based on drinks (alcohol) served, you only tip based on the food consumed.
