If you get $185+ of free food/drink, a more appropriate tip is in the $60 to $80+ range, or double what you'd normally tip.. since, afterall, your shit was free.

boy.. you couldn't wait for the forums to come back up to post that, could ya?


just make sure you save some money for a cab...
 
Says who? I tip my normal range. You didn't eat the cost of the free food. The owner of the establishment did. Did you do more work because you had to serve free food?

Great restaurant idea. We could call it "Just the Tip"

We could transform the entire service industry with this new ATOT Tipping concept. Everything will be free*


*With a mandatory tip paid to the company that factors in the cost of manpower and material

I tip on the quality of the service, and not how much food I ordered.

example - If my wifes glass gets empty, not only do I go to the kitchen and get the refill my self, the server does not get a tip.
 
I won a free dinner for 8 at Noodles and Company (their business card drawing). And it was quite the impressive meal, and the woman who was serving us was just a regular employee (and they don't normally wait on people, it is just a "here is your food" place, so only a small step up from a regular fast food style) and she did a fantastic job. So I left a decent tip for our free meal just because she did a lot more than her job requirements would have said, and I think that is worthy of a tip.

That doesn't sound like and issue with the service, as much as an issue with your wife keeping your balls in her purse

A double tip is common and pretty standard fare in this situation.

Hopefully for the health/intestinal safety of the people you love that have no culpability in the fact that you are a rogue cheap/no tipping asshole, you never eat in the same place twice after pulling that shit.
