I usually only frequent the same places, and have a favorite item that I get almost all the time. I enjoy receiving priority. Most of the time, a large portion of my bill is 'comped'. As a result, I wind up paying very close to what I would had I tipped the appropriate minimum, and sometimes even less. The comping of items and the larger tip are directly tied together though. Would you still be tipping like that if you were in some random place for the first time and didn't get that treatment?

No, I would tip around 20-25% for decent service, but I would tip more heavily if I wanted superior service the next time I was there.
The Poojer Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 how about a waiter/waitress at a diner counter? On 1/28/2015 at 8:11 PM, DC Tom said: DC Tom's rule number 8: if you're behind a counter, and not a bartender, you don't get a tip.

The Poojer Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 i meant the waitresses at a diner that serve the customers at the counter seating area. they don't come out to the tables but serve the counter sitters just the same On 1/28/2015 at 8:51 PM, The Real Buffalo Joe said: Why?

Chef Jim Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 (edited) I'm a dumbass and need to stop being a dumbass. I usually tip 20% because the math is easy. However I do it on the total amount including the tax. Well that tax adds 10% to the total F&B and then I add 20% on top of that? Oh and tipping someone at a counter? Never. I tip you to bring me my food and clear away my dirty dishes. Edited January 28, 2015 by Chef Jim

Giving me a bag of food that I paid for isn't tip-worthy.
