Note: Please don't get into debates over whether or not you "should" tip, or if tipping is normal where you live, or whatever. Thank you.
Our family's Halloween tradition is to have dinner at Red Lobster. Basically developed because my mom didn't believe in trick-or-treating, so we'd go to dinner and then to a harvest party at church. Now the dinner's just persisted. Anyway.
She put the actual meal on her credit card [as her sister is actually going to pay her back as a thank-you for other stuff], and then was going to tip in cash. My dad and I both noticed that she was only going to tip $5...on a $120 bill. That was all she had, so she didn't see anything wrong with it. So I added $10, so it was at least more...the waitress was REALLY nice and really good, so we didn't want her to think we hated her!
[Also, felt sorry for everyone in the restaurant as my nephew has developed a new habit of banging his head against things...he did that twice against the table. And started screaming. Poor baby. Although the second time, he started giggling really soon afterward, it was a little weird.
...is that normal, by the way? I'm a tad worried...weird child that he is...]
