20% at Disney. At home 25% and sometimes more because we live in a rural area and I know they don’t make much. There’s not inflated meal pricing here so we try to be a little more generous.
20%+ & we don’t hold food issues, etc against a waiter/waitress unless the server is blatantly rude to us, which did happen once.
Most servers are attentive, hard workers.
For me:
15% means service was really bad
18% means service might have had some flaws but nothing horrible
20% for satisfactory/good service
25-30% for exceptional service
Considering the waitstaff only makes a few dollars an hour, I add 20% for good service and 20% for bad service. Sometimes they are understaffed or the kitchen gets backed up so bad service is not always "bad" service.
Personal tipping habits is not a topic for discussion. This thread is closed. There is a sticky thread for the mechanics of tipping and why we limit the discussion. Thank you!
