So, I have some restaurant experience, but not full-service. But there have been a couple of tipping posts that have got me wondering.

I guess this only applies to servers (or maybe managers) who have worked in full-service restaurants for at least the last 5-6 years. But what tipping behaviours have you noticed? Are they worse? Better? Still worth being a server?

It's interesting, I feel like I've seen some people tip much worse, some people tip much better, but rarely are people doing the traditional 15%. I either get nothing, 5%, or 25%. I think the tipping culture has pushed a lot of people in one direction or the other.

I didn't think 15% was traditional or even acceptable any more. I try to do at least 20%, and maybe a little more to balance out the cheapskates.

I have seen a bit of a drop in our restaurant; it feels like people are avoiding spending as much as well.

“I’ve heard mixed things — some say tipping’s dropped a bit, others say it’s steadier than people think. Seems like location and type of restaurant make a huge difference.”

Yeah, that makes sense. If you can go to a higher end restaurant, you should be doing good enough to leave a good tip. I wonder what the family restaurants are seeing.

Back when I was getting started in the food world, I worked flipping burgers at In-n-Out. A man came in and said the burgers he had gotten weren’t right. He dumped the food on the counter and then he started throwing them back behind the counter. We gave him a refund and then his demeanor completely changed. He was calmer and he told us to have a great day as he left us to clean up the mess he made.
