14. I guess it depends on the color of skin the tipper has.

I see people in a family of four tip the waitress $3.00 here in SoCal. It's shameful.

I tip, at minimum, 16% if the service was lousy {and that's only happened to me a few times over the years}, but I usually tip them a $20 dollar bill if under $100.00. More, if over.

Its only shameful if the server was good and the person has more money to leave a bigger tip. cstanleytech May 2013 #22

We just adopt the opinion that if we can't afford to tip, we won't go out to dinner. BlueCaliDem May 2013 #24

Sure if you have 20 to spare then tip it but cstanleytech May 2013 #25

He's complaining about a $5 tip for delivering a pizza? Incitatus May 2013 #3

Depends on how much the order was for. But 21 % is totally respectable. LisaL May 2013 #5
