I avoid restaurants that require tipping. When I do have to tip, I give way too much if the service was good. IMO, good service is to not try to talk to me too much, and to be responsive to what I need done (refilling drinks, taking additional requests). Bonus tip if I know they’re overworked and handling it well.

15% floor. Throw an additional $10 sometimes. Always direct to the worker because these places steal tips. Also I tip cooks sometimes.

But I avoid going to these restaurants.

What if they just work 30 hour weeks for twice as many weeks?

Oh, I call it leaping. Quantum leap. It’s been almost 10 years. Decided to settle down and live out this life.

And I’m over here just sending the bulletpoint unaided by AI. That must be why I can’t get a raise.
