At the end when the bill has been paid, I will without a flinch say, "Your tip is a reflection of your service," and I walk out. And there have been times when I haven't left a tip or it is very small. I will also let someone know when their service was exceptional. I don't need to mention the tip because it will be 25 to 30 percent. When it's regular service I usually tip between 10 & 15 percent. Oh and when you tip...don't include the taxes...the tip is supposed to be based on the cost of the goods or services...NOT the tax.

The changes never seem to improve the service, and in this town, service is horrific! Carole, you are so right. The changes never seem to improve the service, and in this town, service is horrific!

Now that I look back, I should've, instead, tipped the cook. Oh well, it's done now. QC, you're bang on, at least in this case, but an inept bartender isn't good for business.

How much of a tip did you leave? I'm always amazed that some people will still leave a tip even after an experience like that. Welcome to Whitehorse! How much of a tip did you leave?
