[QUOTE="Rafter S, post: 1488831, member: 21194"] I know this is about tipping other than in restaurants, but I just wanted to say that wait staff depend on tips. In almost all cases the wages they receive from the restaurant are way below minimum wage. Because of that, a tip should just be considered part of the cost of eating out, not a reward for exceptional service. I know it would be simpler if the restaurant management just paid them what they're worth instead, but that's not how the real world is. Anyone that isn't willing to tip 15% should just stay at home, unless the service was less than acceptable, and if that's the case you should let the person know how they need to improve so they won't just be resentful and think you're a cheapskate (I'd use a stronger word but it wouldn't go through). I tip between 15% and 20% for adequate service, and more if it was above and beyond. [/QUOTE]
