Do you believe in Tipping ? (17)

Yes I believe in tipping. I go cow tipping every chance I get.

All kidding aside, I do tip and the amount varies depending on the service. Here in South Carolina Restaurants only have to pay $2.35 an hour, unless the tips received don't bring the hourly amount up to at least minimum wage, then the employer has to make up the difference.
I usually go out with friends after Church on Sundays and around here there are a lot of places that have Sunday buffets so that's what we usually have. I usually tip there to but not always, again it depends on the service.

My usual tip is twenty percent. But I also take things into consideration. Really bad service and I am not talking about cooking I am talking about service that the waiter or waitress is responsible for I will knock it down to 15 or 18 percent. I have thought about starting a web page geared towards women who dine alone some must be thinking tip because I have received some shabby service at times at least the bad is far and few. Now since I do dine alone if I go in a restaurant and I see they are really busy and I know me sitting in that table is kind of like renting it. They could be making a much better tip if two were sitting there. I take that into consideration and give a little more than the twenty percent. If the service is good. I have a co worker who is like me and eats out and don't mind going alone. We went to an upscale place the other evening and the girl went out of her way to make our visit a happy one. And most do at that particular place because it is one we frequent. So I must be tipping appropriately. I work hard for my money so I don't just throw it away. But I am also respectful of other people till they give me a reason not to be. Just how I am and it seems to work well for me.
