Just curious... how much is a normal tip???

[mferr84]

wow, so the consensus is pretty much %15-%20... so i guess i am okay... thanks for all the info!

the same girl does everything from washing, cutting, coloring, waxing, so she gets all the tip and she does the best job i have ever had anyone do on my hair... so maybe i will start giving her a little more!

now, next time i tip her, i wont feel like i have absolutley no idea what i am doing

My fiance's uncle or something does something similar (but without putting the money on the table). Everytime the waiter does something wrong (if he has to ask for something, if has to find the waiter, etc) then he deducts money from the tip. Kinda makes sense.

I was seething let me tell you. At any rate, when she brought the bill to our table, my husband passed it to me and said, Thanks honey for treating us! Her face almost fell to the floor. She did NOT get a tip - not one cent and before we left I called her to the table and calmly explained why she did not get a tip in the hopes that next time she will be smarter.

I haven't heard that story before. How did the waitress take the explanation? And you're husband is in your signature, right? If so, yes, he's pretty attractive, lucky you...
