Or should you just tip as normal when the bill comes and expect the waiters/waitresses to split it up later?

This always bothers me, especially when the waiter/waitress has been there for the majority of the meal; however, my husband used to be a waiter and has told me that if your server goes home and gives your table to another server, they are giving the tip to them also, for allowing them to go home.  Unless it is a rather large bill (and hopefully a large tip), in which case, the server would probably opt to keep their table and work a longer shift.

i have done it every way conceivable.....whoever asked for the date, whoever makes the most money, one pays for din din, the other pays for the next thing.  mostly, we always took turns.....and to be perfectly honest, the butch person usually wants to pay whether they have the most or not.....it's an alpha kinda thing.  sometimes when i go out with my girlfriend, i get handed the check simply because i did the most talking, or the most decision making, or the ordering.....(and i am not so very butch)\nmaybe you should just ask your date before the waiter/ess gets there.....'is this gonna be on one check or two?'.....she is probably gonna wonder as much as you do.

Honestly can't understand what you are trying to ask... Is it about waitresses who are being shorted tips? Or don't declare tips?\n\nCheers

It is weird.  If you look at some of the questions concerning tips, the waiters and waitress of the bunch usually write in that even the most rude, horrible service deserves a 10% tip.  It's everywhere - people feeling getting money is a birthright instead of something you earn.  \n\nI don't know about you, but I have to work my asss off for my money, and no one gives me tips.  My tip is I get to have a job tomorrow.  So when I spend my money I expect the best service.  I expect people to put in the same effort I put in at work.  When it comes to eating out, it's a no-brainer.  I will get what I want and I will get it in a timely manner.  If they tell me it won't be burnt and it comes out burnt, it's going back.  If they get pissy, it's a no brainer - no tip.  I'm not going to argue with a waitress with an attitude.  That goes for everyone in the service industry.\n\nThe cabin is a bit different - especially if you paid up front.  I had the same thing happen - we specifically picked the cabin because it said it slept 7.  We had 6.  It really slept 2 comfortably.  The girls got the bed, one girl got the couch, one guy got a cot (that gave him back pains), and we got the floor, sans blankets or pillows, for 3 days.  It cause a real problem, because we didn't want to split equally, but no one could afford to pay more for the bed.  When we called and complained, their attitude was "what are YOU going to do about it.  Sue us."  What could we do?  We were f*cked.\n\nUnfortunately, it seems like everyone believes it's their birthright to screw people out of their money with a minimum of effort.

For me it would always depend on the situation. In the winter for instance if they help you in, hail a cab or assist you someother way I'd be inclined to tip up to 5-10 dollars. If its a little more forgiving out and all they do is open your door, then nothing says you have to tip them at all, they do get paid for their job.\n \nNever forget Christmas and their Birthday if you know it. You'll be in like flynt!

In most states it is between $2.00 and $3.00, usually closer to $2.00. You get tips and if there are busboys you must give them a percentage. If there are no busboys you bus your own tables but get to keep more. Some restaurants the servers put all the tips together and split them. Do not work in a place like that if you are a good server as some are not and it will affect your take home money. If someone not tipped helps you tip them accordingly at the end of your shift but if the manager helps you then you should not tip him, it is wrong of them to take your money and they are not good managers if they expect or accept it. If you are quick and friendly you can make a lot of money at a good restaurant but it is hard work. If you are the customer instead of the server tip about 20% for good service and a little more for excellent service. If the service gets by but not very good then give a 10 to 15%. If it is really bad leave no tip and ask to speak to the manager. Sometimes the price of your dinner will be reduced for the poor service. ◘

ABSOLUTELY NOT.\nI am a pretty good tipper. Usually more than 20%, and I never even considered the server's looks. Good personality and On-The-Ball are good traits, but I leave a tip that is generous, especially if I plan to frequent the establishment.

Well,I do but when you really think about it,it depends,because you know they get paid doing that so some people don't leave tips but some of them get paid but just a lil bit so people leave a tip just for extra it just depends if you want to leave tips or not for some sort of reason.

I ignore tip jars at take-out counters.  These people get paid a higher base wage than table service and they do less for me.  I find it ridiculous for them to expect tips.  (A friend of mine was treated so rudely at a take-out counter he reached into the tip jar and took a couple bucks out!)\n\nHowever, I do tip when I receive table service.  The people who serve me there make less than half of minimum wage, and my tip is based on their performance.  I start at 15%, 20% for fine dining, and go up and down from there.  If the service is totally crappy I get a manager and let it be known how bad a time I had.  Often this will result in my not paying for my meal at all, and many restaurants make the server pay in these cases.

Where I work, we enter the total, because that is how our system asks for it.  If there was a glaring error that made the tip seem exorbitant, we would probably use the tip that you entered.  Never be afraid to dispute with your credit card company if you think that it wasn't what you put, and always keep your copy.  I have seem some shady stuff.

The only problem with the math is that you don't ADD the two dollar tip to the $27; it's already included.  Remember, the $25 room charge plus the $2 tip gives the $27 total payment; the $3 change makes up the rest of the original $30.

If you have a reservation, please be on time.\nIf you do not have a reservation, please don't take it as an insult if you see an empty table and you are not seated...that table may be reserved already.\n\nYou wait until you're actually ready to order before you begin ordering...a watress/waiter doesn't mind if you say "I think we need a few more minutes" but it drives them crazy if you make them stand there rewriting your order for 10 minutes because you have not decided.\n\nYou carry on your conversations in reasonable tones so that you don't cause other guests to complain.\n\nYou keep your children under control.\n\nIf you spill something, tell them...it's often easier to clean up a mess right away, even if it means reseating you.\n\nIf there is a problem, please say so but as politely as you'd want a problem brought to your attention.\n\nPay the check fairly soon after it arrives at the table, even if you will linger over an after dinner drink for another half hour...this allows for the bookkeeping tasks to be done while you linger.\n\nLeave if you notice that "closing up" tasks are being done...candles blown out on other tables, cleaning up the waitstation...let them get off work on time.\n\nTip decently and say thank you.

I don't get it either, I mean I know we are tipping them for providing the service but if you are going to say that then why don't we just tip everyone who provides a service. My gynocologist provides a service but I would never pass him a couple buck with a "thanks for the gentle touch". Or maybe we should change how we do business so that everyone just gets what we think the service is worth. Next time you go to get your oil changed just give them a couple bucks when it takes forever. Wouldn't that be nice. But unfortunatly that is not how things work instead we have to pay 40 bucks for dinner and then pay an additional 5-10 bucks to the person who brought it from the kitchen to our table. God bless them!!!

Yes, I would care.  If the law required servers to be tipped, that would be giving them a license to be crummy servers and still get paid.  I think good service should be rewarded with generous tips (willingly)...  I'm sorry there are so many stingy, unappreciative people in the world...  Maybe the law should require that everyone (adults) should spend a week being a server -- maybe that's the answer!  (They would know how tough it is.)\n\n:)

What is a normal tip for services?\n\nA tip should typically fall within the 15% to 20% range.  (This is before tax is added.)\n\nAre there circumstances when you should tip more than 15% to 20%?      \n\nIf the service provider either did something out of the ordinary or did something that took a great deal of time (such as major make-overs, color correction, etc.) you might want to consider leaving a larger tip.\n\nWho else should you tip other than the person who performs the service?\n\nAt a salon, you should tip the person who shampoos your hair ($5) and the person who blow dries your hair other than the stylist ($10).  It is not necessary to tip the receptionist or someone who brings you a drink

Typically a waiter or waitress makes very minimal like 2.15 an hour, but you make it up in tips sometimes over 10-15 an hour depending where you work. As far as the hours are you looking at full time or part time, days or evenings. More money in the evenings. I would put negotiable or "your wages".\nGood luck! I will be job hunting soon too!!!

Tipping is definitely something to do if you receive good service. If you feel the driver has done well and taken care of you, tip him. If not, tip him anyways, and you may get better service in the future. Is this someone you see regularly or is there a different driver each time? There are so many variables. Use your best judgement. Tipping will never hurt though...only help.
