[QUOTE="Snattlerake, post: 4036654, member: 44288"] AMEN! I usually give the Sonic kid the rest of the change plus a dollar. If you wait at my table and do a good job, you get a flat 20% of my bill. You screw up and you may get $5. You really screw up and I will let you know about it and you will not get a tip. Too old to care about your feelings about tipping. I remember Bruce Williams reciting an experience he had at a restaurant. He related while seated and eating his lunch, he spied a young man waiting tables with a big plate of onion rings walking by. He said, "I made a fake, half-hearted lunge at the onion rings as he walked by. The waiter made eye contact with me, grinned, and kept walking finally setting the delicious-looking rings at a table not too far from me." "I continued to eat my lunch and a few minutes later the young man appeared again this time at my table with a small plate with three piping hot onion rings setting it down beside my plate." Bruce said, "The waiter said nothing but grinned again ad left just as fast as he arrived." Bruce then said, "Believing in giving credit where credit is due, and recognition for a job well done, I tipped the young enterprising fellow a C Note." I also remember Joe's Crab Shack on NW Expressway. They automatically added a 30% tip to my order one night. Pissed me the hell off it did! Especially when the waitress was lousy and lazy and got the order wrong. [/QUOTE]
