Daughter has done a lot of waitressing. We don't go out to eat as much as we used to, but our baseline has been 20% for a long, long time.

I think of it as the waitress has two bosses. The restaurant pays her to turn in orders and deliver the food; the customer pays for our end of the service. Of course, in a true capitalist arrangement, the waitress would negotiate the tip up front, but that has problems of its own which I'm too tired to bother typing about this. :/

AshevilleRobert: One of the other drivers last night had the woman show up completely naked at the door to pay.

[something something...] "just the tip..." ??
