We also do the double the tax thingy. But as cheap as I am I pay for the good service. I start off thinking ok that person is getting their full 16% but as the service drops off I start to eliminate cents. i heard about the person that puts the tip on the table and as the meal goes on if something displeases him he pulls away a dollar from the tip. Eventually if the service sucks all the tip money is off the table and no one to blame but the server. haha sometimes I am tempted to do the same. I guess up front you know you'd get better service by just that motivational stack on the table.

Be cheap and stay home. Big Fat Mama Sun, 13 Jun 2010 22:29:21 +0100 http://www.livecheap.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=78#josc1078 C'mon people! I agree with Big Fat Mama, if you want to be cheap on eating out, just order less or stay home! Don't cut back on the tip. If you've been a waiter before, you'll know how important a tip is. Many waiters don't even earn minimum wage and their income comes mostly from tips. I've been down that road, and now whenever I eat out, I always tip at least 20%... I know the cheap community might come down on me, but please think of others too. Ivan Wed, 25 Aug 2010 05:20:00 +0100
