[QUOTE="Danny Tanner, post: 1731548, member: 10619"] I hate the idea of tipping based off the cost of the food. Tips should be based off the service received, not the cost of items received, that's what the check is for. I tip any where from 0-50%, depending on where I eat and the level of service. I like to think I'm the perfect customer. I ask politely for my meal (it pisses me off hearing somebody say, "yeah, get me a ribeye and garlic potatoes" rather than "Could I have the ribeye with garlic potatoes, please?"), I say thank you after refills, after getting checked on, plates cleared, etc. We typically don't slam our drinks, I can't remember the last time we've ever sent our plate back, despite getting side item A instead of side item B like we ordered, and we've rarely ever had to flag down our waiter. We also pick up after ourselves when we're done eating. We don't bus and clear the table, but we do stack the plates and silverware together and make sure there's no out of ordinary mess left behind. I also like to think I'm a generous tipper. I used to have a serious addiction to Sonic's Ocean Water fountains (not the slush) with no ice. I'd drink one every day. They were a couple of bucks and I'd hand the carhop a $5 and tell them I don't need any change. One of my favorite causal restaurants to go to is Chelino's in Edmond (besides the Midwest City location, Chelino's sucks). Those guys all know what my drink is and after they confirm with me "Dos Equis Amber?", it's sitting in front of me within the first few minutes of us sitting down. Their food is standard Mexican fare, but I go for the service. I tip about 35% every time we go. [/QUOTE]
