I have a few questions regarding the rules about tipping at some restaurants.
If a receipt has a line for "tip", does that mean I should put one, in all circumstances?
I usually do, but I'm asking for specific reasons.
Sometimes for lunch I go to places where I go through a line/up to a counter and order. The food is brought to me by an employee (they give a number). But the rest (drink refills, getting silverware/cutlery, etc.) is basically up to me as the patron. Do I tip in this instance, and if so, do "standard" tipping rules apply? There's usually a line on the receipt at these places that says "TIP", but I never know if I'm supposed to put anything in it or not in these circumstances, so I usually do.
Another place is where they put the items on your plate that you want, but they have someone coming around with rolls. That receipt also has a line on it for "TIP".
As I said, I usually do write in a tip, because the receipt has a line for it, but I'm wondering if that really applies in these cases.
So what are your thoughts?
