Tipping Instructions

As reinforced by Daddy' s experience at Fatty's the other night.

  • When the bill comes, tip on the high end of that 15-20% recommendation
  • Remember how helpful the waiter was when he took her water back to put it in a special cup, and how he got extra napkins and spoons when we needed them. Throw in an extra buck.
  • Remember how the owner came over to say hello to Fiona and then gave her an unclaimed toy from the lost and found. Throw in an extra buck.
  • Take a look at the food still on the table. That's on the table, as in, not on the plates. Throw in an extra buck.
  • Take a look underneath Fiona's chair. Throw in an extra couple of bucks.
  • Take another look under Fiona' chair. Throw in another buck.
  • Take one last look under Fiona's chair. Grab a napkin and start cleaning up yourself.

Yep. Good sage advise. We went to a restuarant where they put a sheet of butcher paper under Sophia's high chair. Not sure how I feel about that. It was a high-end establishment, but still... and yes, the butcher paper remained surprisingly clean and the area around it - a mess...
