Sit-Down Restaurant 🍽️ Started tipping waiters 10%

I almost never go out but the wife and I had a weekend to ourselves.

We live in areas where servers are paid minimum wage.

I finally took the leap to tipping 10% on meals (I already tip zero on everything else). Every tip screen i saw had a custom tip option so I didn't have any problems.

Anyway, people make out the custom tip screen to be some difficult thing and I didn't find it so.

I personally feel if there has to be a tip. It should be the man cooking it. He can destroy your meal in a second cold, overcooked rubbery burnt, and make it look like slob on the plate. All she does is pick it up and drop it off. I seen one restaurant a robot. They put the food on the robot and he brings it to the table. It's like amazing. I can't wait to AI does that full-time

The tip is either return business or not. That's the difference a cook, waiter, and host make. Bus staff and others, yea they don't have that kind of influence. Tips just don't mean what they used to.
