<p>[QUOTE=&quot;VistaCruiser69, post: 25466206, member: 107016&quot;]Working in restaurants when I was a high school student during the summer vacations and right after graduating high school, plus my mother being a waitress for my entire childhood, I know what it&#039;s like standing on your feet all day long working hard to serve customers.&nbsp; And I remember how nice it was to have cash in my pocket at the end of the shift when I leave.</p><p><br /></p><p>For those reasons, I usually tip very generously when it comes to tipping the individual who actually provided service to me.&nbsp; My tip is usually 3 and a half times the tax.&nbsp; So, for example, if the tax is $2 I will give between $7 - $8 tip (rounded up) sometimes.&nbsp; On average&nbsp; though, I give a $10 tip.&nbsp; How the waiter and waitress&#039; do it around here is, when they get their tips all tallied up at the end of their shift, the nice one&#039;s will then tip the cooks and busboys accordingly to the support services they provided them.&nbsp; So when the waiter/waitress&#039; get tips, they would share some with those who helped them do their job.&nbsp; That&#039;s why I do 3 and a half times the tax.&nbsp; 2 for the waiter/waitress and the other 1 and a half to those who helped them.</p><p><br /></p><p>I had an elder friend who didn&#039;t own a car so every Saturday I&#039;d drive to her house, pick her up and we&#039;d go to the grocery store for the heavy stuff she can&#039;t carry on the bus during the week.&nbsp; She used to tip 2 times the tax as a standard.&nbsp; This is where I got the idea to base the tip from how much the tax is.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
