Q: How do you make your tipping decisions?
A: Prompt service gets me to give more. Above and beyond gets more. I will go up to 30 percent if the service, food and attention were extremely great.
Miserable waitresses/waiters get 8 to10 percent, and a note as to why, and a discussion with the manager. Great service means that the servers are interested in all aspects of the meal or service.
