Tip on the cost of what you were served. Not the what you were charged. If you BFF bartender comps a drink, include that in your tip, and do that for all service workers for everything you're served.
Yeah, I feel like the options for including comped stuff in the tip are either add 20-25% of the value of whatever of the comped thing costs or add 100% of the value of the comped thing to the tip. You don’t…leave it out entirely, that’s uncivilized
I figure that if I got something comped, I got other intangibles as well. And 20% of a $25 dish is only $5, so it’s not exactly a stretch to acknowledge when you’ve been treated well.
1 million times this! I almost slapped someone the other day cause I heard them say you only have to tip on the pre-tax amount. Imagine nickel and diming your server that much, guaranteed they never paid for anything they were ever comped
I cannot tell you how much better the response is to this skeet than any mention of tipping over at the bad place, where people brag about not tipping bartenders.
