[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Even the *way* we tip actually makes no sense at all.  We're not tipping based on the amount of work (or service) provided, but on the cost of service.  Your $150 a cut hairdresser is not working hard to do your hair than your $50 a cut hairdresser, but if you go by % you are tipping a lot more.  Ditto for servers--it always annoyed me when I was one.  If I have a table full of people drinking water and iced tea, and I have to run back and forth a zillion times for refills vs a table of full of same# of people who order one cocktail a piece and never ask for anything else, guess who is more work?  Guess whose bill is much higher, and then the corresponding tip?  It's stupid.

When my friend was a waitress she used to dread my parents coming in...ice water with lemon that needed umpteen refills and then a shared entree. The bill would end up being the price of the entree ($25) and even though they were polite and nice, they were just as much work as a pricier table.
I always tip but I drew the line at a medspa where they expected 15, 18 or 20% on a $350 microneedling service. Hell no.[/quote]

I'm a water person. I dont like soda or juice. I do like wine. If you'd just bring a pitcher or bottle of water to the table I could leave you alone. [/quote]
