    Did I tip too much?

    Last night was wing night at most bars & pubs around here;
    I had a $20 voucher to one I got from 1st day of classes - beer was aight, wings were meh (compared to my usual watering hole).

    So a buddy & I cashed in and after the voucher discount, my bill came to $3.33 and his was $9.something. Usually we're clocked at ~$20 each.

    I also tried their seasonal house ale; different from my usual stout () - holy chit 2% ABV difference hit me like a whale later that night.

    Anyways, my buddy told me I better tip her well to make up for it.
    I ended up tipping her $3. I thought of even throwing $6 at her, but I was going to McDick's after and figured I needed that $3.

    Too much? Too little? Just right, cK?

    Btw, our server was pretty dang hot;long haired dirty blonde, tanned, with a hyoooooge rack on a low-cut top - if anyone wanted to know (I knew y'all wanted to know).
    HNNNNNNGGGGGGG.

    I wish I could tell you but I don't know how Canapple tipping/economy works. In the US a 15% tip in normal. I always over tip if they do a good job or are friendly. Since waitresses here don't have a minimum wage. But normally for all good service I over tip. If you remember her reaction it might hint at it. Generally a little bigger smile or something means good tip. But I dunno man google it

    As I think you're drunk and I have to much free time I looked it up. It said 15% is normal there as well. Now assuming I read this correctly you got 20 dollars off which means the actual bill was $23.33 so tipping 3 dollar is a roughly 13% tip of that.

    Long story short.

    You under tipped by 2% or about $.5 of the normal 15% however tipping isn't a exact law so it's nice you gave her something. (But honestly if she was wearing a low cut shirt she was probably aiming to make better tips)

    By "sockin'", I mean she would paunch me in the wiener,
    probably out of the notion I implied that she was easy.

    I second the low-cut "money bags" idea. Also, I never got why everyone's so nuts about tipping across the ocean. If I had to staple a calculator to my wallet just to calculate tips, instead of just tipping what felt right, my brain would start leaking.

    Nay, I tipped her $3 on my $3.33, split bill & buddy also did $3 on his $9.something. -$10 each bill.

    So in total, ~$3 over that $13.33 bef. -$10,

    (waitresses here have a min. wage, though they usually earn a couple bucks higher + tips after)

    Ay, their money bags bring money bags.

    Anyways, yeah - I usually 15% it,
    20-25% if it's pretty damn good service (like when they bring me waters before I ask because I'm sweating bullets off),
    and 10% if I'm being ignored or r00d to.

    This $3 bill of mine was a first, so I was wondering wtf do.

    Honestly the 15% tip is about right. I usually tip around 20% or a little more depending on my service, I'm a waitress so I always tip a little extra. I only make $4.77 an hour so I depend on my tips to live. You gave around the right amount. Although if you sat there for a while then it was a crappy tip lol.
