Ok--This is my question. On thursday we go out ot eat at the Outback and the check is like a $150 for 4 people. Since we tip usually 20% that was a $30 tip. On saturday we go to the prime rib and the check is $330. So the tip is $66.
Now I start thinking, the waiters at both places were good. They took our orders in a timely fashion,served our food in a timely fashion and made sure to ask if everything was ok.Why in the hell does the guy at the prime rib deserve a $66 tip for delivering food.The prime rib was about $50 while at the outback a steak was about $20. But what I'm getting at is why am i tipping a guy based on the value of what he serves? Does it take more effort to serve a $50 steak than it does to serve a $20 steak?
What's even more outrageous is the price of drinks.A bottle of wine at the prime rib is like $60, a bottle of wine at outback is like $26. Why am I tipping a guy $12 to serve a bottle of wine at one place and $5.20 at another?
Something is wrong with this system. I'm not exactly sure what to do about it but leaving a $66 tip for the same service I left a $30 tip for seems kind of insane
