Absolutely. Tip whatever you think they deserve. It is "your" money after all.

My kids make far less than that and live in shared housing with roommates in DC. They tip 25 percent.

How much do YOU tip? Are you going to tell us 25%+?

If you know how much your kids tip when they go out, you need to step back. That sounds very wrong.

You could only wish you had the same kind of relationship with your kids that I have with mine. We see each other all the time and they don’t expect us to pick up the tab every time. That’s how I know how they tip. That’s how their roommates tip too. That’s how generous people conduct themselves in real life.

Yeah, i don't know how much my kids tip. I usually take them out and pay. You should try sometime.

DP Almost every time I go out to eat with my adult daughter she picks up the check. She is very generous to her mother and also to those who wait on her. Maybe you can't try this sometime because your adult kids don't do that, that's why I'm sharing it with you. Maybe someday it will happen to you if you model generosity to them.

What kind of a parent allows their kids to pay for them? Sorry, I can’t imagine going out to dinner with my adult kids and expecting them to pay, unless it was maybe my birthday or something. Even then, I would usually pay because I invited them and parents pay for their kids-even when the kids have grown up. I’d be embarrassed to allow my kids to pay for me.

+1. Not just once or twice. "Almost every time". Poor kid.

Yea and if they knew how cheap you were they’d be horrified. They probably add to the tip when you’re not looking. That’s what we used to do when our Australian friends took us to dinner.

I doubt that. They are 7 and 9.

LOL Knock out punch!

Quite the opposite. Shows the poster’s stupidity.

My parents almost always pay when we eat out, but I don’t think it’s such a big deal to do the opposite. I have more money than they do.

Ever since Covid, we simply find we are less interested in eating at restaurants, for a variety of reasons. We rarely eat out of our own home now and instead enjoy cooking and trying new recipes.

I know a woman who owns a restaurant and I totally believe that she is taking advantage of her staff in the way she pays them. She is not a terribly nice person in her personal life and I believe she is all about herself in her business life also.

Same. We rarely eat out anymore. Too many disappointing, overpriced experiences.

And a lot of restaurant folks are super shady. Not all, but a lot.

There is a juice shop I no longer go to because of the constant prompting to tip for carry out.

Nope.

Then your snippy retort “you should try that some time” is beyond silly. Your kids aren’t adults.

What you ARE though, is that nightmare table that nobody wants to wait on. You know, a lady with two little kids who make a huge mess eating their low cost kids’ meals only to be stiffed by their cheap ass mother.

Are you having fun? Keep going. I am enjoying reading it. Weirdo.

I mean, it’s true isn’t it? You inflict your kids on a busy server and then get all cheap ass with the tip. Right? What’s incorrect about this statement?

Yep. And when you take them out, you tend to go to the same places because that’s what kids like. So you’re known in these places. You’re known by the servers as the cheap ass mother who inflicts her kids on the staff only to leave a lousy tip.

Truth.

Yes, yes, that's me. You are good but that's the same thing you said already... Repetition is kinda boring. What else PP?

+1. Common sense, people! If a restaurant has been around for 2+ years, they ARE making money. In the areas where we live, no one really notices price increases of 5-10% each year and there's enough people to fill up the restaurant. No pity for them. Pay your staff like normal businesses do!
