Where Have the Tips Gone?


Recently there has been discussion on the amount of tips we are leaving a local dining establishments. Due to the recent struggles in the economy and the cost of gas we are all finding ways to cut back – this is one of them.

When eating out, if I receive good service, I leave a 20% tip. I have not changed the amount I leave because of the economy, I change the amount based on the service. Really the difference between a 10% to 20% tip is just a few dollars. If the service is poor, you should leave 10% and let management know; otherwise you are just being cheap. If you can’t afford to tip your server, don’t go out.

How much do you tip?
