1 Answer

Answer :

answer:Atleast 20% if they were bad ill do 15% but nothing less unless they were horrendous. But if they were genuinly a good server ill give more anywhere between 30–50%. I know this may seem really high, but like you rob i was also i server and i know how much it sucks and how often you get stiffed by people. Most people dont know that servers only make 2.13 and hour and depend on the tips to make any money at all.
