| a $250 bill? Is it really $50 for the same service I'd get at a less expensive restaurant? |

| I mean, yes? Maybe slightly less because you tip on the pre tax amount and in the old days you didn't tip on alcohol. |

Painful and inequitable, yes. But unfortunately that's the right answer. |

| Yes. If you can spend $250, you can afford the tip. |

Were you born after 2000? Because pre 2000, there was no tipping on alcohol or tax, and tips were fifteen percent. The current situation is absolutely bonkers. |

I would tip less, honestly. Maybe 10-15% instead of 15-20% like I usually do. |

| Why are waiter so so worthy if these large gifts (beyond making up for their below minimum wage salary, what you all propose goes absurdly beyond that)? What about nurses? Garbage men? Tipping is so random. |

This is news to me too. All of the corporate dinners that I attend, the alcohol is the bulk of tge check. For 10 people it’s usually a $$$ check which includes a couple bottles of wine; so yes the tip is 20-25% on the total. Maybe we are just generous

I’m 50. Yes, tipping used to be 15% standard and 20% good service. The alcohol thing is BS. |

| This is why good servers gravitate towards the expensive restaurants once they have some experience under their belt. Better money. |

Generally tip 20% on the pre-tax amount. |
