I tip sporadically
I find that if you tip regularly - they take you for granted
Tipping irregularly keeps them 'On Their Toes'
Waitresses everywhere have confirmed this.... many countries
Another thing that ticks me is tipping on the amount of the bill rather than the service rendered.
Many moons ago - as a single- I ate out a lot and developed this theory.
In those days my numbers were-
$5 for dinner for 2
$10 for 4
The girls were confused.... and they had the manger query me (I was a regular customer)
Once explained - they got it.
Why a bigger tip lobster than a hot dog/hamburger ???
Think about it -
$30 wine vs $60 ?? same game....a bottle is a bottle , a plate is a plate
Distance to/from the kitchen is the same
