Whether I get a salad bar ($6.00) or a meal (items up to $13.00) at one of my favorite restaurants, my tip is always 2 bucks. A bit high on a six dollar salad (I keep my bill down by drinking only water) which is what I get most of the time, and maybe a bit light on the thirteen dollar meal, but I don't want to figure out the pennies and I am seen as a good tipper and get great service.



Anyplace that hands me food across a counter without any table service? Their tip jar can go pound sand.
