In the near future, I will likely be tipping a very competent, upbeat,  and dependable limo driver something like 20 dollars on a $70.00 charge, since I know with certainty that he will provide safe, efficient service and very good conversation in the hour-long +   ride he will be providing.

 

If he were a cheerless dullard with nothing to say, he would not get near that much.

 

To me, this reflects the spirit of what tipping should be about.

 

Just sayin'...

 

I am a over tipper, regardless of service I do tend to tip generously.. We will usually spend about 45 minutes in a restaurant I  always tip $10.00  Reason is I feel obligated and don't want to leave a small tip even if the service was not great. I would rather have the higher prices and not leave me with having to think I was cheap! Just don't like the mind set that we have to leave a tip regardless of service.

In the small community where I live, the customer and server are likely to know one another either personally or by connections.  The customer gets friendly personal attention and the server is rewarded in kind.  Symbiosis.

 

Most of the servers working their way through school.  Others for second incomes.  I tip 20% or better around here.

 

Servers with negative attitudes don't last long and lemon sucking customers don't matter.
