Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...
Has anyone else noticed that the dining out (and the attendant tipping) experience has gotten completely out of hand?
Not too long ago, dinner entrees often included a soup or salad, and at times even dessert. Today most restaurants are strictly a la carte and prices have increased dramatically. Add a cocktail or wine at their inflated prices and we are presented with a pretty hefty check.
Does anyone do the math? That 15 percent to 20 percent range is now based on a significantly higher amount.
To mandate a standard 20 percent tip without regard to actual service performed will definitely put dining out at the bottom of my entertainment/recreation list.
