You and your friends go out to eat at your local restaurant. Everything goes pretty well, but you do notice that the waitress fo
rgets to refill your drink order. She also accidentally gives you the wrong order from another table. The total bill is $43.14, before taxes. How much tip do you leave?
If you receive truly awful (or rude) service, don't leave without providing a tip. Believe me, a $1 tip will be noticed much more than no tip since many people forget to return to the table and your server may think you just forgot. However, before you leave a lower tip, try to take into consideration the staffing and patron level in the restaurant, and keep in mind your server may just be having a bad day. Leaving a pleasant note of encouragement or a decent tip may be enough to turn their day around.
