Remember when covid was in style, the government relieved us of a few trillion dollars and gave us $1400 in return? We took that pittance and began to overtip the people who waited on us. Because of restrictions you couldn't fill all the tables and had to leave several empty ones between those with people. They went to extraordinary length to clean everything all the while having to wear the stupid masks. It cut into a lot of people's income.
We decided to spend the 1400 to help those who worked their butts off to keep the doors open usually 25-50 percent of the bill. Also usually buy a round of drinks for the folks that work in the kitchen that you never see. The 1400 is long gone but we keep tipping. I should mention that we are treated like royalty now in the restaurants we frequent. Seemed like the right thing to do.
