If I'm by myself I usually do $5 no matter what as long as the service is good whether I be at a diner, the Waffle House or a nicer restaurant. If I've got the guys with me or I'm on the rare date 10 to 20. When I'm at a hotel bar and I order a meal I start at 10. I like sledge have left the dreaded $1 and I'll be honest it has to be bad. If I'm with my family and they add tips to the bill for large parties that's all they get, that's one of the things that get under my skin



When I was younger I was a delivery driver for a local hamburger joint, I got the keep the change on a burger and fries on a 20 a few times.
