If I ordered a $100 steak or a $10 dollar burger same amount of trips back and forth no? Why does burger waitress get $2 but steak gets $20? That is lost on so many. Including the pinhead waitress

Cash. I usually start out mentally at 20% and start deducting as the meal goes until I reach the final figure.

I was at a bar one night on a company gig, so the boss asked me to put a tab on my company card.
It wasn't alot, maybe $600 all told but I was in no condition to do math so when the time came to close out the tab, I gave the waitress a $50 tip which in my state I thought was pretty decent. Easy math.
On the way out the door the manager tracked me down and asked if there was a problem with the service because I gave such a crappy tip. I told her to tell me what a fair tip was. I was embarrassed that I did it, but in my head, I thought $50 was pretty good for slinging drinks for a couple of hours.I don't remember what I ended up giving her. I'm sure it was probably 20%.- whatever number the manager came up with that I thought was reasonable.
That was the first and only time anyone tracked me down for being a schitty tiipper. I will never understand the reason for a tip being a percentage of the bill. Then just go to McDonalds. Fine restaurants are off limits for you. While I readily admit to being of lesser social status than my betters, I did not call for the abolishment of tipping, I merely am puzzled as to why it should be related to the bill. What's so hard to understand about the fact that if you order 10 beers instead of 2 the waitress had to make 8 more trips to your table? If I ordered a $100 steak or a $10 dollar burger same amount of trips back and forth no? Why does burger waitress get $2 but steak gets $20? I will tell you this, if you were a young man in your twenties, or thirties, and you were on a first date with a "hot chick." Of course your goal is to "get nekkid" with the girl. So, you don't take her to McDonalds, you take her to a really nice restaurant. If she catches you leaving a cheapo tip, your chance of banging her just went to zero. All young gals have either worked as waitresses, or their mother or sister did, they don't like cheap tippers.

We tip because women are predominantly the ones with those jobs.
Women are equal to men in every way...so therefore must be tipped and given extra help.
They will have to go back to whoring if you don't tip.....and you don't want that. Do ya?
I am MAGA.

At the afore mentioned restaurant my wife and I attend weekly there was once a couple (male/female) of college students working there. The girl who was nice looking told us she more than doubled her boyfriend in tips received.

I tended bar in a backwoods tavern in a tourist are for a few years.
In my experience, the most reliable tippers are locals.
The best tippers, at least where I worked, were tourist snowmobilers.
The worst tippers were groups of women and tree huggers.
People who drank and ordered food were better tippers than just drinkers.
More than once I have had people leave me a joint as a tip.
One man who owned a food distributorship of some sort downstate once one left me two racks of Lamb as a tip.
In general, people who have worked for tips at some point in their lives are the most generous.
I don't know about all states but many allow owners to pay waitstaff far below Federal minimum wage because they get tips. A travesty of justice if ever there was.

I tip well, the above is an example - but valid question none the less. Do you have an actual answer other than if you want to fu,ck a new girl you need to flash the cash?
