Helping out servers during the covid crisis ...

Now that we are getting out more, we are finally letting someone else serve us. It's a wonderful feeling! Restaurants love being busy and so do their servers.

One way you can help them is to increase the level of your tip. Many restaurants have depended upon loyal customers to help put money in their servers' pocket. 

So how much should you give? The base amount is 15%. But in these times, where things are so darned expensive, I encourage you to give a little more. It may sound like a lot, but $5.40 for an $18 meal is 30%. The normal 15% for an $18 meal is only $2.70. 

Many waite staff have two jobs to make ends meet. So I ask you to increase the level of your tip. Keep in mind that some of the employees may not be seasoned yet and are still learning. Regardless, they need your help.
