Description : Is restaurant tipping of 20% applied to all checks regardless of amount?
Last Answer : As a former waiter, I can say that if you think the service was good, 20% is the right percentage regardless of total bill. Traditionally, 15% is a normal tip for normal service (again, regardless of total bill ... $1.50 an hour). So when you stiff a waiter, you are really docking his or her pay.
