[QUOTE="soberups, post: 944552, member: 14668"] Thats the nice part about living in Oregon---no sales tax! If I get good service I always calculate the tip as 20% and then round it [I]up[/I] to the next dollar. Its easier than trying to figure 15%, all you do is figure 1/10th of the bill X2. When I go to nice restraunts I am frequently [I]under[/I]dressed, but I always [I]over[/I]tip. I did my time as a waiter and busboy, I know how hard those people work and in my opinion only an :censored: stiffs a waitress on a tip. As far as receiving tips during peak, I try to discourage it. It makes me feel uncomfortable, especially when I know that I am already making over twice as much per hour as the person who wants to give me the tip. I would never want a customer to feel that the service they get [I]from[/I] me is in any way related to the tip or gift that they give [I]to[/I] me. Whats funny is, I deliver to a lot of vineyards and wineries and most of them wind up giving me a nice bottle of wine for Christmas. I dont have the heart to tell them that I dont drink any more, so I graciously accept the wine and take it home to my wife who [I]loves[/I] a good bottle of wine. [/QUOTE]
