I wouldn’t give him a tip! At “Old Country Buffet” the cashier always asks " Do you want change to leave a tip? So I always ask “Oh, are we supposed to leave a tip?” I don’t like it when she asks that.
A tip is a gratuity for a job well done. If it is required, give it a name and show it on the menu. I’ll gladly give 20% for excellent service, if you add it to the menu, it had better be much less.
When I traveled a lot for work, I almost always ate alone. I’d calculate a tip, and give the waiter two minutes (maybe more if the place was really crowded and busy) to bring my credit card back to sign the charge slip. I’d start counting and the waiter would lose a cent for every second I had to wait past that. I’m there alone and finished eating. Get me out, free the table for another customer. Most waiters lost part of their gratuity, and a surprising percentage totally lost theirs.

Why discuss something that won’t occur?

Here’s a tip. Don’t ask for it.

If you have to ask for it, you have lost it.

Right now I’m having a hard time swallowing that.
