Tips tips!

[tzikeh]

The tip poll--and only a week late!

This is a U.S.-centric poll. Tipping in the U.S. is very different from tipping in Europe; the results would be hopelessly skewed if it were a poll that included all nations. (I don't know if Canada's tipping etiquette is just like the U.S.; if it is, feel free to join in!)

If you find it interesting, please point friends in this direction.

Couple of additions:
For good service, I frequently leave a note on my receipt rather than actually talk to the manager.

Also, I overtip for decent service in two situations: when I'm out by myself for Mom's night out and hang out an extra 20 minutes reading, and when I'm out with the small person and she shares my food or makes a mess. Well, okay, that second one is sometimes influenced by whether the server is nice to her ;). I don't expect people to gush, but I once had a server ignore her entirely when she was saying, "Hi!" I still tipped decently, but didn't add my usual OMG CHILD extra.
