If you're not going to make the kind of change I need to tip you the appropriate amount (around 15% for good service, more for great service) - then your tip is going to be lacking.It happened again tonight. Food bill for $29.75, two $20 bills given in tender, $10 bill and a quarter given back in change. Now the proper tip would have been $4. But because the server was too lazy to give me something smaller than a ten, I retaliated. I'm sorry dude, but you're not getting a $10 tip. You're getting whatever I've got for loose change in my pocket, and look - it adds up to just a little over $2. Sucks to be you buddy.
Am I the only one who thinks this way?
I agree, it's kind of lazy, selfish and presumptuous, I think I've covered all the bases.
ReplyDeleteI understand the problem, but I will tend to get frustrated when the server brings me a large stack of ones. While I appreciate that it is easier to make an appropriate tip, I certainly don't like a wallet that is unnecessarily large. In conclusion, paying by credit card is definately the way to go.
ReplyDeleteI hear you. Mind you, in Canada your wallet wouldn't be fat, your pocket would - what with the one and two dollar coins in circulation. The only reason I don't use credit to pay for meals out is because it's too easy and I may be tempted to eat out more. I know - dumb reason and it probably has no basis in reality, but there ya go.
