Honestly, some of the posters here are major cheapskates. If you plan on tipping a maximum of $20 for a meal at a restaurant I owned, I would hope you didn't bother coming in.</font>
Good, I won't. Less revenue for you. I think you overestimate how easy it is to run a restaurant.
<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">I really doubt these posters ever eat at truly first class restaurants because there is no way you're going to eat at a 28-29 Zagat rated restaurant and tip the kind of minimal amounts described above (if you wanted to return to a friendly staff). Eat at McDonald's until you grow up.</font>
So if I tip $20 on a meal for two, the next time I visit the waiters will be surly? Well, I guess that's OK in that it saves me $20, because the tip on the second meal would be zero, and the second visit would be my last.
