My family and I enjoy dining out and do so often. After being in the service industry for many years I tend to be picky about the service I receive, especially when paying inflated prices at a higher end establishment. No matter what service my family encounters I seem to be able to justify and make excuses for the times we run into poor service and tip 20%.
What is the proper tip for the server who leaves you rubber necking all night looking for them to provide adequate attention to your table?
On Your Tip,
Mr. LDear Mr. L,
A gentleman has a high tolerance for poor service, because he understands that getting angry about things outside of his control is both impolite and ineffective. A gentleman never gets up from the table to do a server’s job or to physically get the server’s attention. However, a gentleman does reward good service and leaves a gratuity based on performance. But he never leaves nothing. All gentlemen must have a tip floor so that he can reward good service and punish, within reason, poor service.
Everyone will have their own range based on where they live, how they were raised and whether or not they have ever worked as a server. The general tip floor is 15%, with decent service warranting 20%.
Gratuitously,
The Gentleman
