Tip to the Service Industry
Last night my wife and I went out on a little date. Our first stop was dinner. We were feeling a little hungry so we decided to splurge and get an appetizer too. It was good. Except here's the problem.
The meal is going to cost us at least $35. That means if I tip the standard amount - well let's just say I am going to be generous - 15-20%, I am looking at $5-7 for two people. It's not outrageous, but I'm tired of the service expecting it, when they only refill my drink once and that one time, I had to ask for it. I am going to get my $1.50 worth of diet coke one way or another.
I rethink my tip at that point - "Do you you really deserve 15%?" Regardless of what happens during a meal, if you can keep my drink filled without me asking or even noticing, you always get 20% from me. That's the first thing I think about when I get the check. Am I the only one who thinks this?

You're not the only one who feels that way. If you have bad service, you don't leave a good tip. I don't. I don't leave nothing either but... not what is standard.
I'm with ya! I always leave a tip... even if it is bad service. So that they don't think I forgot!
