Default Re: Tipping, automatic gratuity for large parties

just to clear this misconception up. if a waiter gets stiffed on a party that took up most of her night, it is likely that she will have zero profit for the night. roughly 3% of their food sales go to the host/dish boys etc, regardless of actual tip sizings. I have heard of at least one instance where a waiter was given a $100 tip on a $6000 bill, and left with $5 for the night, and her manager simply didn't care.
