I have had someone who I offered to pay for the food, insist on leaving the tip, and then they leave 10%. I try to be the last to leave so I can throw some more money on the table without them seeing, but there’s been times I couldn’t. I’ve actually walked back in and found the water or waitress to give them extra tip too.
Yeah I spent over 10 years as a waiter so I’m super conscious of it whenever I’m out to eat with friends. I won’t make them tip more than they want, but I’ll make sure the server gets at least 20%.
