I was a waitress for a few years back in the day...
I understand that people may not have a lot of money but I would never go out to a restuarant and sit down and expect for someone to serve me if I could not afford to tip them. If I cannot afford a tip or don't want to- I get take out...
- I feel 15% should be the minimum. I ALWAYS leave good tips when I go out because I know there are people who have no clue what a tip should be. My friends always say I tip too much- My motto " I am making up for the cheap skates that don't leave tips".
If you don't tip- I would caution you not to go back to that restuarant.. I have worked with people who are not so happy about it when you come back.... I would ignore people who did not tip me IF they were crazy enough to come back.... but some are not as forgiving...
Just something to think about!
