MOUTHOLOGY

Q. What is your salad dressing of choice?
A. In a restaurant: balsamic vinaigrette! At home: Creamy Italian made at home with Ken's Light Northern Italian, yum!

Q. What is your favorite fast food restaurant?
A. Arby's

Q. What is your favorite sit-down restaurant?
A. Olive Garden

On average, what size tip do you leave at a restaurant?
A. I believe in over-tipping when its deserved, and in requesting the same wait-staff when I return. This usually comes back to benefit us, in return. We don't wait in lines to "pay", we just pass it along with the usual, "thank you", and we are taken well care of, this way. I used to pay a percentage, of minimum 20%, now we consider more in our tips. I've learned a lot, listening to waitresses talk, one time. They don't care the cost of your bill. They care that they are "thanked" for what they've done for you. So, you could go sit for coffee, with a friend, and they'd work hard to refill you and ask you if you need things, and yet your bill would be low. So, I consider time, when I'm having business "meetings" too (how much did I cost them to tie up this booth that group that fit it would pay?). A general thumb, for us, in smaller establishments, since we don't eat out much anymore, is to leave a similar tip, no matter what the bill. $5 speaks for a quick lunch, whether there are 2 or 3 of us. I firmly believe that those who require a minimum tip of 20% for parties of 8 or more and add it to the bill before I see it, would get more if they didn't do that to me! I never leave less than 20%, and leaving a penny on top of your tip, is a compliment. If your service is very poor, 10% is the amount of your bill that the help-staff must claim as a tip, to their employer, whether you leave it or not. I would never not leave 10% because that amount is their pay, and the industry is really underpaying them (are you aware of their hourly rates? I was shocked to find out!) and everyone has a bad day. (and again, those who work in customer service that hate people, should stay home! LOL)
