The waiter at Wolfgang's and Applebees did the same amout of service but the pricing of items skews the comparison.
I really don't see why 15% at Wolfgang's is something to frown about.
Sh|t, not everyone is frickin' loaded.
You did fine, OP.</blockquote>
There is a huge difference and a reason why someone works at Applebees vs. Wolfgangs.</blockquote>
Isn't 15% standard for good service?
What should he have tipped? 25%?
I tip 20-25% usually wherever I go, whether it be Applebees or Mortons.
Someone get this man a medal, STAT!

I'm not trying to sound pretentious or like I'm sort of saint but I don't understand, if the meal is $20 at applebees whats the big deal in tipping $4 instead of $3. The $1 probably doesn't matter to you, but if all the customers for that server did that then they would go home a little bit nicer in the pocket.
Why not hand the McDonald's cashier a quarter every time you eat there? The quarter doesn't matter to you but if all the customers for that cashier did that then they would be millionaires.
Well that's the most idiotic response I've ever heard. I might do that if the McDonald's cashier was making $2.20 a hour. But, they are making at least minimum wage if not more. Whereas the servers in restaurants are probably trying their hardest to make sure you have a decent dining experience so that they can earn a certain amount of $ per hour. McDonald's cashiers don't exactly exude brilliant customer service. Either way, it comes down to the fact that servers are basically paying the bills off their tips.
