Huffington Post: Tipping Too Much: How You Can Save Money A Few Cents At A Time

Posted: 15 Oct 2012 10:50 AM PDT

2012-07-17-logoinside.png

I usually pack a lunch for work every day to save money, but when a friend asked if I wanted to meet at a nearby restaurant, I decided to skip my turkey sandwich and agreed to meet him. My budget allows for one cheap meal a week, so I got the lunch special, and drank water to keep my bill under $10.

When we got our checks, I watched my friend scribble the customary $2 tip for the cost of his meal. My total was $7.60 with tax. I started to tip the same amount, but then I looked over at his half-empty Diet Coke and stopped. My friend's total was a couple of dollars more because he had a drink, so his tip was a few cents over 20 percent of the cost. I was planning to leave the same amount out of habit when I realized that mine should be less. Standard tips are based on a percentage of the bill, and people tack on more for exceptional service. I had chosen tap water over sweet tea so that my bill would be lower. Now I was going to tip the same amount of my friend who ordered more? This didn't seem fair to me.
