[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]25% is insane, OP.

It's the new normal. 20% is the new 15%, so minimum, and 25% is the new 20%, so for good service[/quote]

What does “great service” even mean? I order my meal and a drink and they bring it.  Same with bill.  I’m not sure how one does that in a superb manner beyond not taking ages.  [/quote]

I think it's obvious when it happens. There is a restaurant I've been going to near me for years which has superb service: waiters are attentive and on top of things. Water glass gets refilled at first sign of it getting low, but in a discreet manner. Everyone is pleasant and polite, but always professional and not over the top. I've notice they are really mindful of not interrupting the flow of conversation. They know the menu well, preempt questions and are clear. They are not snooty and just as nice to young people who don't order as much (my dcs who are older teens have gone alone). Most of all, every time we go the service is the same, consistently excellent no matter who the waiter is. That's rare I find.[/quote]

Yeah, this is almost no where now.  Even  nicer places.  But in fairness, I don’t typically have any questions or need anything beyond what I ordered and the check.  I just don’t see how this is considering great service. It’s extremely basic, bare minimum service [/quote]
