Most times we would make more money in the tip boxes - they called it - than we were getting paid.

I always bring cash for tips, and I never give less than $20. I used to work in a smoothie shop, so I know the value of a tip.

Know how and how much to tip people who expect gratuities, even in the case of poor service.

For restaurants that have a minimum gratuity charge on large groups, the IRS will now count those tips as regular wages rather than traditional tips that we are all familiar with when we dine out. Ask any server, and they will tell you that this will directly affect their day-to-day lifestyle.

Women are especially sensible in matters relating to tipping: fair but not foolish.

I needed to pay for my horses in Warwickshire, and I couldn't do that off a waitress' wage.

I wish we had a system where you are given a bill including service and that people were paid properly so they didn't have to rely on tips. In different restaurants there are different policies and it's all very confusing.

I didn't realize people tip for take-out.

Since I am known as a 'rich' person, I feel I have to tip at least $5 each time I check my coat. On top of that, I would have to wear a very expensive coat, and it would have to be insured. Added up, without a topcoat I save over $20,000 a year.
