FAQ's

So, I think I'll give you some frequently asked questions I've been asked over my next few posts.
Some will be realistic, others sarcastic, naturally.
Here we go, my friend, and if you have any questions, just ask.

Q1. How much should I tip a waitress?
A1. There are many answers to this question, but I guess it depends on the type of waitress you get and the type of person you are.

Did the food suck? If it did, then you weren't eating my food. Haha, just kidding.
If the food was awful and you were upfront about it, how did the waitress handle the situation? Did she offer you options: new food, a way to fix it, did she offer to take it off the bill?

Was she friendly? Did she cater to what you needed?
Did she seem knowledgable?

Bottom line is, if you had a good waitress, you really should tip 15% of the bill. All restaurants legally must make waitresses claim their tips for taxes; most places [all places I've worked at] have their waitresses claim 10%.
That is the absolute minimum you should tip, if you have an awful waitress.

I mean, stiffing a waitress, despite how blonde is never recommended by me, but the situation definitely influences your decision.

I, as a restaurant employee never tip below 20%, but I haven't had the most awful service ever, so I'm somwhat biased.
