re: #243 Feline Emperor of the Conservative Waste
I’ve never waited tables (THANK YOU JAHEEEZUS!), but I attempt to be overly nice to wait staff.
This (for example) is a very simple thing to do. I hand the server the card when I ask for the check. I hate to send them running to the machine (which always seems to be a quarter of a mile away) to get the ticket, then all the way back to me (for me to hand them the card), then all the way back to the machine (to run the card), then all the way back to me (for me to sign and tip).
I always tip 20% plus the change required to get me to an even dollar amount.
