2. If service was particularly great or you got multiple refills on coffee or something, 3.

If I'm served food, I'm leaving a minimum of $5. It's been a while since I've worked in a restaurant, but given the experience I did have, I'd bet most are leaving about $2; so I wouldn't worry too much about it.

$2 if on card, $4 if in cash is what I would have done, but only realize this upon reflection.

$6 is cheap! It costs $6 for one of those crummy frozen microwaved Starbucks eggs sandwiches/wraps.

I say why not because we're talking about a couple dollars either way. Just seems really petty in retrospect. Should probably over-tip in such situations, right? Make their day a little better and it's such a small amount it means nothing to me.


My rich ex-bf used to say exactly this. His logic was that he'd blow $50 or $100 on total BS, so what's a few extra dollars tip?


That's a philosophy I'm going to adopt. While $2 was 30% or whatever, I felt cruel only giving her two bucks to serve me. Probably giving this such mindshare after tapping those screens and giving everyone who does nothing a few bucks. This aging woman is on her feet all day, being super polite, and I only gave her $2. I might give her a $20 if I get her next time to make up for it.

$2 is totally fine op not sure where you can get any food around here for $6.

I think $2 was fair.

I’d pay by card and leave 20% as usual, maybe $1.50

$5. It feels cheap to tip less than that on a meal.
