Remember, It's 10%, then Add Back Half

Joshua gets a no-prize on a platter for bringing us bitterwaitress.com, an entertaining clearinghouse for gossip, rumor, stories, and news in the wide wonderful world of waiting tables. Is any of it true? Who knows? But it sure is entertaining!

Unfortunately, even a 15% tip (which your 10% then add back half would result in) would be considered "shitty" by bitterwaitress.com. ("A shitty tip is any gratuity less than 17% for service which one's peers would judge as adequate or better.")

You know, I've had people tell me my usual 20% tips are over-generous. (I usually figure that tolerating my fat ass long enough for me to feed my face is worth hazard pay.) Yet, by this waitress's standards, I'd classify as "barely tolerable." I think the biterness may come mostly from having her standards set WAY too high.
