I tip 20% at least, sometimes more. I have friends who work at a bar and who usually give me fat discounts, in which case I figure what I was comped and tip on what the "real total" would be. I consider this borderline unethical. Why? You treat your regulars well. Your regulars then stay regular and keep the atmosphere nice. Also, living in NYC off tips isn't easy, though maybe at upscale restaurants a bit better. Being of a somewhat younger generation and having been broke with a lot of friends in the service industry or working freelance, I've realized that in lieu of livable wages, those tips matter. Y'all stingy. well it obviously all depends on the circumstances. If your friends who work at the bar are also the owners of the establishment it's not the same issue as if they just give their friends a generous discount on the cost of the owners. for a generous tip. As I said having worked in the business myself I have all the sympathy for the workers. On the other hand they are also notorious for cheating,

I tip 20% at least, sometimes more. I have friends who work at a bar and who usually give me fat discounts, in which case I figure what I was comped and tip on what the "real total" would be. I consider this borderline unethical. As a bartender I once experienced the exact opposite. the probably best customer of the bar who spent a lot of money over a period of time did not tip. When he paid bills of other customers you felt directly cheated out of your money. Having worked for tips i consider myself a generous tipper. However I have personally a bit of a problem with fixed percentage rules. For example if I pay say for a dinner of four at an expensive restaurant I might get a bit stingier and consider how much time was spent serving and not tipping on taxes etc.
