I don't bother with the math, $10-$20 minimum depending on the situation.I have. Late March me and my girlfriend went to what I'd call middle tier restaurant and had a pretty bad experience. We had 7PM reservations. Got there 6:45 and expected a few minutes wait. We got seated at 7:30. 7:30 defeats the purpose of making a reservation. The waitress was very inattentive and slow. At one point I had to get up and go to the bar and get my own beer. They gave out complimentary bread and soup which we got shortly after being seated, but it took 2 hours to get anything we actually ordered. I went to the bathroom and when I came out my girlfriend said she told them to pack it up to go. I had about 8 Heinekens, she drank a whole bottle of Coppola, so I'd say our bill should have been about $300. When they brought it to us it was $98 and some change. I tipped the bus boy, the bar tender a hell of alot more than I tipped the waitress. If the kitchen was backed up, bad night whatever, she should've communicated it, which she didn't. As far as I can remember all she did was take our order and we never saw her again for 2 hours, so she didn't even deserve the tip she got. As my brother likes to say it's the law of diminishing returns. The more you eat at a certain place the worse it gets. 1st time it's great, 2nd time it's OK, 3rd time its crap and all downhill from there. He's pretty spot on.</blockquote>
