Tipping Etiquette Quiz

Tipping could be a confusing issue....

There was a blog war over the tipping issue created by a waitress who received 10% tip (which is considered - suboptimal in the US by most people) from a customer who said he/she received less than an adequate service....

Tipping Etiquette Test

As far as I read the comments, it seems to me that there's no rule but in general - in the U.S.
- Waiter/waitress does not receive an adequate amount of pay per hours (only $2-4/hr) so they rely on tip to make money (the facts could be different from states to states)
- Most people considers
10% lower than average, if you leave this amount it is good to talk to the manager about it also (to let them know that the service is unacceptable)
15% average tip
20% or more - for exceptional service

However, some people does think that no tip should be made if the service is lousy. It's up to personal preference, I think.

One thing to remind you, at the end of test, they will ask your name and valid email address - make sure you put your uncommon email (the email you allow all spams to come) rather than your usual one!
