>>27295074>>>27295084ok obviously not the same legally but its the same "well back in my country we do x this way so I'm gonna do it here too because I belive my way is better"
>>27295101nearly every server would agree with me. They might bring out your food but forget about watching for if your drink needs to be refilled or taking plates with finished food out of the way. You'd get bare minimum amount of service and they'd want to get you out of the restaurant ASAP
>>27295108no its not man you make more this way and it's merti based. If I get 15% I know the service was decent but not exceptional but if I get 20% its clear I did a good job and catered to that tables needs
>>2729511210$ for a $40 meal is pretty high but not that unbelievable so if I were them I might've came and asked because I never want a situation like you described to happen. Usually people pay with credit cards and write the tip on a line on the reciept for me to input into the computer
