I for one will tip above and beyond the "typical" 15%.....IF the server deserves it. I had waited tables almost all the way through college and totally understand the frustrations from servers....BUT, you know you are bound to get stiffed or poorly tipped sometimes - regardless of the service that you give. If I am with someone else who is a bad tipper, and the server was good, I will add to my tip to make the other person's tip better.....SO, basically if you have a bad day as a server, expect bad tips - bottom line. If you do a great job and still get some bad tips, chalk that up to the fact that you are a waiter/waitress and move on. But, I like what
@Heathur: said.....let us know where you work, and we can come in and expect excellence service!Â
 You won't know who we are, and we won't know if you are our actual server.Â
