Shawn Tips for tipping your server
One of the
most confusing aspects of American culture is our habit of giving tips to people in the service
industries. Deciding what to tip your server can be a very stressful thing for
people who are not accustomed to this practice.
Fortunately, there is a very easy strategy you can remember to always ensure you give an appropriate tip!
A good rule of thumb for standard service is to leave
15% of the bill as a tip. So if your total bill is $20, you should leave a $3
tip. If the server did a bad job, you might consider leaving 10% or even a bit
less. If it was extremely bad, you can also opt not to leave a tip at all. For exceptional service you should leave 20% or
more. If you have a very large group in the restaurant (eight people or more),
you should also leave at least 20%.
In some cases the restaurant
automatically adds 20% to the bill for large parties, in this case you do not
need to leave an extra tip unless you want to reward exceptional service. If you are not sure, you
can ask the staff if the gratuity is included.
