In general, if you’re in a restaurant and you have a waitress, I think a tip is gracious, but I don’t particularly like it because sometimes you just don’t wanna give your money to someone that’s waitressing even though it’s hard work because some are most businesses take the tips away from the waitresses the waiters and split it among all of them I don’t think that’s fair if a waitress did her job or waiter with that group of customers, they deserve all of the tip, not the restaurant, taking it and splitting it among the workers or any other employer that does this I generally give the tip if I can to the waitress or waiter, but these days when you eat out anywhere there’s like a mandatory gratitudy starting from $15-$35 this is on top of your restaurant bill. I mean I’m not going to eat to give away $30-$40 to a waiter or waitress five dollars tops for me and given that this waitress of waiter or get five dollars minimum from an eight hour shift they almost made their whole salary or at least a quarter of it and just tips so I don’t feel bad if I don’t give them but a dollar or two. I’m just saying when I go out to eat I’m paying for me.
