Re: Can we discuss Birnbaum's "tipping suggestions?"

I've always had this thing about rewarding good service.

It's always seemed crazy to me that we insist on this percentage rate.

A server brings & clears 3 plates to a table costing $ 45 and receives a $ 9 tip
Another server brings & clears just 1 plate costing $ 50 and gets $ 10.

Just because the food was more expensive doesn't mean the server deserved more. Get my drift ?

A flat rate of $5 per person is more realistic don't you think ?
