I actually don't always know what I tip anymore. I'm terrible. I hand the reciept to my boyfriend and he does maths. And he tends to be generous.
here's the maths if you want to tip the traditional 20%.

Take the total, figure out 10% of it since that's easy enough to do and then double it.

I think that's a good standard to go by. Id say I probably do the same.

The worst is Golden Corral, because it's a buffet and you pay beforehand, so they ask if you want to leave a tip before you've even gone in. You're also getting all of your own stuff, but they just have a couple people walking around with some rolls or something. Just put them rolls on the buffet and leave me alone plz.

we tip our bartender like a crazy person

because she is *our* bartender. she has drinks ready for you. she knows what song to have water waiting for us. she knows who is allowed to get our drinks and watch our drinks. she remembers brithdays and brings cake and flowers and cards.

Maybe I'm glad I don't go anywhere or do anything, seems like I'd not be able to remember things like that. o.0
20% for food, including the ONE place I only order in from b/c they're a tiny mom & pop local Chinese place and we LOVE them.

Just giving a heads up, Some people (including me) have been unable to withdraw funds from Amazon Payment, I haven't been able to withdraw since July 31, I've called and called with the only answers being an "error that'll be fixed within 2-3 days", yet those days have passed and nothing. I thought it was just people from July 31 with this problem, but since I'm seeing that MORE people are getting this now, I just wanna put it out there to withdraw now for just in case

Here's the thread

im not gonna lie for the internet... if I have it, I tip 20, but sometimes when I'm broke yet too stupid to stay home, I tip 10, so I think that balances out to 15% lol
