(12,272 posts)12. Signs you are a good tipper
You actually look at me when I am telling you the specials; you might even smile.
You dont answer a hello from your server by yelling, Two coffees!
You say please and thank you.
You dont make faces as you are being told the specials, even if you hear a dish you dont like.
You dont order water with lemon.
Your free-refill soda lasts more than 2 seconds.
You check to see if your dining partner is ready before you belt out your order.
You dont slap your kids in public.
You don't immediately demand to see the cheapest thing on the menu.
You answer questions with actual words rather than grunts.
You start your requests with May I please have... rather than Get me or I need.
