Unless I'm very, very impressed or very, very put off by a waiter's service, I leave a standard formula tip - not a percentage, but rather whatever amount will bring the total up to an even number that's a "reasonable" tip. Examples:
$6.63 bill, $2.37 tip
$23.86 bill, $3.14 tip
And so on. I don't often think of percentages, I just "feel" the amount. Also, I can't stand uneven charges on my bank account/credit card. I don't know why. |
