$5- $7.50 tip for how many people? Approximately what is the size of the bill?? That sounds on the low side, BOTW. Many people sit at a table for more than an hour (especially at dinnertime), so the hourly estimate you calculated is off the mark. Need to increase the tip, and have it correlate with the quality of service.



Table is for two. Meal consists of two entrees plus three drinks. I’m not going to reveal the dollar amount but they aren’t fancy places, they are like Bennigans, Chilies, Applebees, etc.

My wife and I sit for a little less than an hour. I don’t care how long others sit for, we tip based on our needs and the demands we place on the restuarant. Only on very rare occasions do we ask for anything besides the food and drinks.
