Earlier this week I went out wit the Margarita Mamas to a wine bar. The waiter was super friendly and managed the large group of women without breaking a sweat. Our water glasses were always filled, and those sharing bottles of wine always had full glasses.
I only had two glasses of wine, but when it came time to pay, I asked for a separate bill and left him a 100% tip.
OK, so it wasn't "technically" a restaurant, but it was still a place with wait staff. And even though my bill was rather inexpensive (hey, times are tough), I still left a big tip. I'm marking this one complete.
DH and I have always been what we feel are really good tippers. We leave 20% as a rule of thumb unless the service is super, super bad, then we leave 15% (there may have been one occasion where we left 10%). If the service is super, super great, we round up a bit passed 20% .
So my take away from Item #85 on my list is that on a rare occasion, when the mood is right, the service is exceptional, and we are feeling generous, a 100% tip can go a long way - not just for the server, but for us for making someone's shift at work.

I waited tables all through college so that is why I added that goal to my list. It always made me feel great to get an awesome tip!! Good job!
