[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]18% tip is far above and beyond, 3% more than the customary tip.

Regardless how much you tip, there's no amount that will telepathically communicate what your concern was with the service. You need to talk to the server or the manager. [/quote]

The "customary tip" in 2023 is 20%. [/quote]

+1 and I give 25% to especially hardworking, attentive servers.[/quote]
Thank you for that. Your tip makes up for the ones who short us with a dollar here and dollar there. DC doesn't have too many people who have worked in service and would tip well because of that. We do get a lot of foreigners who have no idea how to tip.

I've never worked a food service job and still tip well - I don't think it's required to have worked that type of job to have empathy for servers and to understand how tipping works. I think it helps to start with a mindset that everyone at the restaurant is doing their best and not be ready to be mad about something stupid, like who packs up your food (which I always prefer to do myself anyway).[/quote]
