How to Tip

If they are a bad waiter, blog.mint.com gives several solutions 

  • Still give 20% (or however much you give at restaurants), and then leave a bad review on Yelp
  • Still give the 20%, and then add a penny 
  • Always tip at least 20%, otherwise the waiter ends up paying for you to sit there
  • Use a formula to calculate how much tip you should give

If they are a decent/good waiter, daveramsey.com gives solutions to most situations

  • For waiter? 15-20+
  • For a buffet restaurant? $1/person or 5-10+
  • For fast food? as much as you like in the tip jar up front
  • Carry out? ~10

Don’t know how to calculate tip?
