Guide to Restaurant Tipping Tableside service is one of the benefits to dining out. Dining out can be a welcome change from preparing meals at home, and diners love that, once the meal is finished, someone else is there to clean everything up. Leaving gratuities for exemplary restaurant service may not be mandatory. However, in many areas of the world, proper dining etiquette suggests diners should tip their servers when paying for the meal. Many restaurant employees count on tips to supplement their salaries, and servers may even be paid below-average wages because tips are factored into their earnings.
Diners routinely struggle when leaving a gratuity. Tipping, because of the money involved, also can cause heated debates. Various experts have weighed in to help customers determine the right way to proceed with tipping. This tipping guide helps clarify when and how to tip.
Etiquette experts at the Emily Post Institute concur that 15 to 20 percent is the standard rule of thumb when tipping at a sitdown dining establishment. If the restaurant is buffet-style, a 10 percent tip may be adequate. Many people leave a 20 percent tip when dining out. That has become the norm for good service. Poor service may not be worthy of such a substantial tip.
When alcoholic beverages are part of the meal, some diners prefer to tip separately. That's because restaurants may implement a heavy markup on wine or cocktail prices. Tipping based on the bill pretax can be expensive. The safe recommendation is 10 to 15 percent. Those who sit at the bar before retiring to a table should offer 15 to 20 percent of the tab to the bartender; or, $1 for beer or wine, $2 for mixed drinks. iTipping.com suggests paying your bar tab before leaving for your table.

Although it can be tempting to refrain from tipping when service is poor, this isn't always the wisest idea. That's because some restaurants employ a shift system in which all of given shift's gratuities enter a pool and are divided by a point
and/or a bartender. Rather than punish the whole lot, reduce the tip and then discuss your misgivings with the restaurant manager.
system. Otherwise, each individual server is responsible for tipping his or her support staff, which includes a busser, a runner, a back waiter,
Diners who have gone over budget should not compensate by reducing the tip. Diners who cannot afford to tip should not dine out.
Diners should know that gratuities are typically included in the bill for larger parties. Restaurants generally add an 18 percent gratuity to the bill. Restaurants put this in place to safeguard their staff. This gratuity should be mentioned on the bill or on the menu. If the service was excellent, diners may want to tip on top of the included gratuity.

Why You Should Not Skip Ladies' Night Out Great friends stand by us through situations thick or thin, and may be the first ones we turn to for some extra support. But friends are good for more than honestly assessing wardrobe choices or picking you up in a rainstorm when your car breaks down on the side of the road. According to the Mayo Clinic, friends can be beneficial to your health. Good friends can increase your sense of purpose and boost your happiness. They're also available to help you cope with trauma or tragedy and might just give you the push you need to change unhealthy lifestyle habits. Women who have close girlfriends may find that ladies' night out is the ideal way to reconnect and find the time to let loose and have fun. When done responsibly, a ladies' night out can make for the perfect evening. And while you might be pressed for time and tempted to skip a night out on the town with your girlfriends, the following are just a few reasons why
you should keep those plans. · Cut down on stress. Laughing and talking with friends can dramatically cut down on stress. A landmark UCLA study conducted in 2002 concluded that girlfriends are stress-busters for women and have an impact on their overall mood. Oxytocin, a moodelevating hormone, is released when women are around their friends, increasing feelings of euphoria. Considering stress can take its toll on physical and mental health, enjoying an evening out with friends can be a fun and simple way to combat stress. · Let it all hang out. Ladies' night out

allows women to put their cards on the table - whether they're discussing mundane fashion trends or looking for some heartfelt advice. Chances are your friends will not judge you, and you won't have to bite your tongue like you might have to when sharing your concerns with other people. · Connect with other adults. Parents of young children may appreciate ladies' night out for the chance to get out of the house. You also may enjoy conversations that do not focus on school or kids. Ladies' night out is also a great opportunity to enjoy a meal, drink and/or movie without being interrupted by little ones. · Ladies' night out can help you keep in touch with yourself. According to Irene S. Levine, Ph.D., creator of The
Friendship Blog and author of "Best Friends Forever: Surviving a Break-Up With Your Best Friend," other women shape you as a person. Female friends provide virtual mirrors that allow you to see who you are and who you want to become. Maintaining that connection to yourself can be just as important as staying connected with your friends. · Enjoy a chance to catch up in person. Many people now do the bulk of their communicating via texting or email. Ladies' night out presents an opportunity to converse face-to-face. That means not having to exert energy trying to infer tone or meaning behind emails or wondering if those emoticons are masking something unsaid. · Have some fun. One of the key benefits of going out with girlfriends is that you'll have your partners in crime ready to join you for a night of unbridled fun. Karaoke, dancing or crowd-watching is even better when you have friends backing you up.

Guide to Restaurant Tipping Tableside service is one of the benefits to dining out. Dining out can be a welcome change from preparing meals at home, and diners love that, once the meal is finished, someone else is there to clean everything up. Leaving gratuities for exemplary restaurant service may not be mandatory. However, in many areas of the world, proper dining etiquette suggests diners should tip their servers when paying for the meal. Many restaurant employees count on tips to supplement their salaries, and servers may even be paid below-average wages because tips are factored into their earnings.
Diners routinely struggle when leaving a gratuity. Tipping, because of the money involved, also can cause heated debates. Various experts have weighed in to help customers determine the right way to proceed with tipping. This tipping guide helps clarify when and how to tip.
Etiquette experts at the Emily Post Institute concur that 15 to 20 percent is the standard rule of thumb when tipping at a sitdown dining establishment. If the restaurant is buffet-style, a 10 percent tip may be adequate. Many people leave a 20 percent tip when dining out. That has become the norm for good service. Poor service may not be worthy of such a substantial tip.
When alcoholic beverages are part of the meal, some diners prefer to tip separately. That's because restaurants may implement a heavy markup on wine or cocktail prices. Tipping based on the bill pretax can be expensive. The safe recommendation is 10 to 15 percent. Those who sit at the bar before retiring to a table should offer 15 to 20 percent of the tab to the bartender; or, $1 for beer or wine, $2 for mixed drinks. iTipping.com suggests paying your bar tab before leaving for your table.

Although it can be tempting to refrain from tipping when service is poor, this isn't always the wisest idea. That's because some restaurants employ a shift system in which all of given shift's gratuities enter a pool and are divided by a point
and/or a bartender. Rather than punish the whole lot, reduce the tip and then discuss your misgivings with the restaurant manager.
system. Otherwise, each individual server is responsible for tipping his or her support staff, which includes a busser, a runner, a back waiter,
Diners who have gone over budget should not compensate by reducing the tip. Diners who cannot afford to tip should not dine out.
Diners should know that gratuities are typically included in the bill for larger parties. Restaurants generally add an 18 percent gratuity to the bill. Restaurants put this in place to safeguard their staff. This gratuity should be mentioned on the bill or on the menu. If the service was excellent, diners may want to tip on top of the included gratuity.
