I'm not talking about McDonalds, ones that are a cut above fast food. There is a mexican restaurant here where you go up to the counter, order your food and pay, then they bring it out to you. They don't have a tip jar, but I always leave $2 on the counter when I walk away to my table to give them a little towards beer money. Just a bunch of college kids working there, I know they have to be short on beer money. Am I being cheap?

I tip 3 bucks for a 2 dollar beer....so my amount probably wouldn't be applicable.

I generally wont leave less than $3 or $4 for anything and it goes up depending upon a lot of factors....including, does she has a nice ass? Doesn't have to be the server, could be any woman in the place or even passing by outside on the street. Think I spent too much time in nudie bars when I was younger and the habit got ingrained or something.

I don't tip unless there's a happy ending.

My minimum tip is $2, regardless of the bill. I usually tip between 20% and 25%, though. I've tipped as much as 100% because the person was seriously overworked and under appreciated.

Speaking of tipping, I just ordered Jimmy Johns, delivery is on the way. I'm thinking $5.
