Comments on: How Much to Tip A Waiter or Waitress http://www.allstays.com/Features/tipping-waiter/ Stay anywhere on Earth Fri, 20 Jan 2012 02:59:09 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Phil Bailey http://www.allstays.com/Features/tipping-waiter/#comment-2449 Phil Bailey Fri, 02 Jul 2010 16:30:06 +0000 http://www.allstays.com/Features/?p=1682#comment-2449 I've worked in many hotel waiting jobs and I can remember watching the discomfort on the faces of guests that let the waiters play on their good natures (of which I was one, of course). I would advise you to only tip if the service was exceptional, any less goes unrewarded. Make this clear early in your stay by tipping one star waiter and not tipping another. You will either get the same waiter for the duration of your stay or the others will step up to the plate. Waiting staff, sadly, rely on tips ... that doesn;t make you responsible if they are no good at their jobs.

I have a friend who is a waitress who wound up waiting on myself and another friend. She later joked about the mutilated one dollar bill I left her. I left a five dollar bill, not a one dollar bill. So the tip was either altered by a customer or a bus person. That's more likely in this case rather than someone bothering to switch bills. It’s sad that this has happened lately.
