At bars I always tip the same at barsstroups wrote:It depends, like when I go to my local bars if I get 5 beers it's about 10 bucks and I will leave a 3 or 4 dollar tip. When I went to NYC if I got 5 beers it was around 30 or 35 bucks. Its virtually the same process so I tipped about the same, but would throw in an extra buck or two because I know the cost of living is higher their and I am on vacation. Sorry but I'm not going to tip you over 5 dollars for reaching down and grabbing my 5 beers, thats just crazy.No snow we go! wrote: Do you think it is fair to base everything on % of cost of food (check) for the tip? A breakfast waiter/waitress works as hard as a waiter/waitress @ Ruths Chris' Steak house. The size of the checks are worlds apart... yet the service many times... not so much. I tend to tip a much, much higher percentage for breakfast, than dinner.
If it's packed the first time they serve me it's $2 per beer and $3 per mixed drink
Other than that it's always $.50/beer and $1/mixed drink.
These were just little small town shops that I worked at though.
