I bet your cheap friend was also the one in the group who made the most money.

$12 or more. I would have done the same thing and added to the tip. Probably right at the table with the comment t's earned for dealing with my diet regiment!

Cheating a good waiter is like stealing. It's pretty bad.

Omg, I aclways leave an extra tip when I go out with coworkers. They run the servers constantly, buy the cheapest meals, demand individual checks and I get the impression barely tip (from the ones that use cash and worry if they pay an extra dollar).

I've done that before. Walked out to the parking lot with everyone, and then said, "Oops, I need to go to the bathroom. See ya all tomorrow!" and went back and added to the tip. Some people are freakishly cheap.


I've done this before too. I don't feel right being cheap on a tip when I've had good service. In this situation I would have left $11.

I can't stand people who will sit and drink/eat $53 worth of nothing they couldn't have consumed at home for $10 or less and then want to stiff the person who served them over and over again.

On a $53 check, I would have tipped $11. $12 if the server was especially attentive or if we were especially annoying -- which I bet your group was.

$10 at least. If all short a few bucks, it adds up. You coworker should go to chipotle instead. You all went to a full service restaurant and spent only 53 bucks and then wanted to short the waiter.

On the rare occasion when my FIL picks up the check we have to do this.

That's a little over 15% and 3 bucks a person. Nice and even.

Too cheap. 15% is no longer the standard tip unless the service was really poor. If it's not at least 20%, the server is left wondering what they did wrong.


When did 20% become the new norm?

20 years ago. Seriously.

An ex-friend of mine was horrible at tipping. It got so bad that our mutual friends and I stopped inviting her out to eat with us.
