6. Do not touch the guests.
You should never touch your guest. Even though there are studies that have shown that by gently touching a customer on the shoulder when giving them their change and thanking them they will give you a slightly higher tip do not do it. in this day and age, someone can easily misconstrue that touch as something inappropriate.
- On the other hand, if a customer touches you, let them, if it is something you are comfortable with. Simply laugh and say “what can I get you?” If you show that you did not like a perfect stranger getting into your personal space, they may find that reason enough to give you less of a tip and we do not want that. However, depending on the nature of the touch, you may find that it is not worth the extra tip. Your call.

7. Remember tipping is subjective.
If you follow all of these steps, there should be no reason that you won’t receive a 20% from your table.
Tipping is subjective though.
So don’t be surprised if instead of a monetary tip you receive a verbal one like.
You were the best waiter I have ever had!” or “I want to write a letter to your manager about how great you were!” These are called “lip tips.”

8. Other tips
- If you get a penny as a tip, this is the customers way of saying that you did not deserve any tip at all. Take the penny and put it in your loafer for good luck!
- No one knows for sure that “tips” stands for “To Insure Prompt Service.” Customers will swear up and down that it’s truth, but it may or may not be. Just accept it as truth and be prompt.
- If you have people from Europe, be aware that they may not be accustomed to leaving tips, so you might want to consider adding the gratuity for them as a convenience.
