So you’ve got this party of forty, who were going to put it all on one tab, but at the last minute, directed by Satan, require separate checks and we’re in a rush.

People that I hang around with usually all produce their wallets and kick in a bit more than they cost without getting all complicated and mathematical. If I had about sixteen bucks worth of the tab- I throw in a twenty and maybe a couple of ones for good measure. House gets their due and the server gets the rest- which is usually a pretty decent tip. Does it cost a bit more- yes. Are we made really welcome when we all file in again? Yes again.

Having worked for tips in the past -unless the service or food is really atrocious- we're good to our servers. And life has enough petty details that demand attention without adding more. :-)
