seriously 
Some erroneous math
No, his tip was 18%.
164 (subtotal) + 16 (tax) + 30 (tip) = 210
30/164 = ~18%
I can't believe this turned into a tip thread either and that waiters expect to make 100/hour in tips alone. It seems easier in Japan or Europe.
$30.53 (weird number for tip) is LESS THAN 20%.
For a $180 meal.. you should have tipped at least $60
So what special services do your waiters provide that warrant a tip commensurate with the food price?^ Raise your hand if you've never been to a nice restaurant.
As I already stated, in order to provide you with excellent service, a waiter at a nice restaurant will only have a few tables with a couple of seatings each night.
Stay classy ATOT.
One cookie for you.God dammit I'm glad tipping isn't customary here. If for nothing else than it precludes these gay little bitch-fights.
You see, here in North America it's customary to have a bunch of arbitrary rules. You're expected to tip the waitress at Red Lobster, but you're not supposed to tip the UPS guy. Tipping a maid is ok, but tipping a police officer is a federal crime. Tipping the woman who was nice enough to have sex with you is called prostitution.God dammit I'm glad tipping isn't customary here.

The strange part about tipping culture is that the waitress at red lobster earns more money than a paramedic does. One of my friends is a waitress at an upper class restaurant and she earns more than i earned as a chemist.

sasabune? mori? zo? shibucho? asanaebo? nozawa?
there's tons of them =P there's even a converted ghetto ass video store that serves $200++ omakase.
...and the best part of it is that they hide a lot of that and don't pay tax on it....

i wait tables. if someone left me a $30 tab for a 2-top i'd be happy. granted it was a normal table and wasn't there for 3 hours.
