In Hilton head I had come in all the time he did all the electric work for heniz field he retired off that contract. Whatever his bill was that was your tip amount.

My dad was the tip to the service amount, he even gave a waitress a penny once, the service was so bad. But considering a lot of the people I know who did/do wait tables, were the struggling type, I tend to tip base at 15% and then move up from there (which is rare when/if I do but it can happen). But especially when you have over $100 tab, I'm gonna chalk it up to someone just being a big asshat to only tip you $1.33 I mean I'd even tip a shitty server $5 if I had a bill like that. I don't think servers and bartenders should EXPECT a certain amount, but I don't think as a customer, you should tip shitty and then be a dick enough to tell them to get a real job. At that point you've gone from dissatisfied customer (if he was unsatisfied with her service) to a flat out asshole.
