we double the tax, and that's what they get as a tip.....unless they weren't friendly, helpful etc.

Hi Kimberly,
Wow that's a great way to decide on the amount of tip.
Hadn't thought of that ::blush::
Hopefully you get friendly service most of the time as well :)

it is rare i go out to dinner but where i do go i know the waitresses are college students. i know every little bit helps them.

if it is lousy service i will give$1.00. normally 20% but then i round it to a even dollar amount..i hate giving loose change.

Because I put myself through college and nursing school working as a waitress, I always tip at least 20%.

YaY Pam,
It is tough being a college student.
So nice top know you can help like that.
Not returning is a good solution while still helping them out like that :)

HI Amy,
Quite understandable really ..
Being a student doesn't allow for too much otherwise :)
