What's your method for calculating a tip?
This is a great question. For one, I never leave less than a five dollar tip; even if the meal was two. I know from being a waitress that we make virtually nothing per hour, so our tips equal our hourly rate. If a waitress only has two tables, and that's all she does for an hour, I want to make sure she's at least getting minimum wage (especially since we had to share tips with busboys and hostesses).
If I have a good server, I usually cut the bill in fourths, and leave one fourth-- 25%. I think the most I've left is 40%, and the least is 10%.
