When I eat at a restaurant I always tip the server. That tip will vary from a low of 15% for very poor service to over 100% if the server gave great service and imo went steps beyond. I realize anything over 25% is overly generous, but it is my personal decision on how i spend my money.
Regardless, all servers deserve a tip at some level.
Serving customers in a restaurant is a tough job. A job for which most servers are under appreciated and under paid. I appreciate the effort put forth by good servers and believe they should be rewarded.
Which brings me to a sad discovery. I learned recently that some people leave something other than money for tips. Fake $10 dollar bills that look real on one side but contain a Biblical scripture on the other. Along with a note printed on the bill telling the server that their tip is the lord's salvation.
Regardless of religious belief, the world runs on money. The churches these people belong to know that all to well. As all churches are constantly in search of more money. Perhaps if their collection plates were filled with these fake $10 dollar bills they would get the point that stiffing a server is a very unchristian act!
