Ask The Salty Waitress: What constitutes a "hell yeah" tip?
　　Heya Salty, 　　Every once in a while you hear about those massive, four-digit tips from celebrities. I’m not running around with that kind of cash to drop on tips, but I am curious: What amount would likely make a server’s day? 　　What’s the amount that would make most servers want...

Ask The Salty Waitress: How much should I tip on a free appetizer or round of drinks?
　　Dear Salty, 　　What should I tip if the server comps a round of drinks or brings an appetizer on the house? Generally I figure out what the total would have been if the items weren’t comped and tip at least 20 percent from there. This usually happens at restaurants I...

Ask The Salty Waitress: How do servers feel about customers calling them by name?
　　Hi Salty, 　　How do waiters and bartenders feel about customer using your names? If it’s the first time you’ve waited on us and I start saying “Excuse me, Brad?” is that weird? Can I start calling my bartender Carol even if I just overhead that that is her name? What...

Ask The Salty Waitress: Can I ask not to be seated at a booth?
　　Dear Salty, 　　I hate booths. More than hate them, I’m uncomfortable sitting in them. They are generally not very accessible for anyone with a disability issue. I always ask for a table over a booth, and if the place has those bar-height tables, a low table. Is this super annoying?...

Ask The Salty Waitress: Is it tacky to split entrées?
　　Dear Salty, 　　My wife and I for years have attempted a little portion control when it comes to our meals and usually split something when we dine out. It really isn’t a money thing, as we’re just as likely to share something at Chez Quis as a local diner. Unless...

Ask The Salty Waitress: Can I leave a server my number?
　　Dear Salty, 　　If a customer finds you attractive, is it weird for them to leave their phone number on the check? Thanks in advance. 　　Jack 　　Hey Jack, 　　Are you coming on to me? Oh, you were talking hypothetically. Right. That’s how it always goes for me these days. 　　Your question—as...

Ask The Salty Waitress: What can I do when my friends behave like knuckleheads?
　　Dear Salty, 　　I am uber-conscious about being courteous to others and I’m also a very happy bachelor who eats out solo a lot. 　　My concern, and the basis for my question, is that when I do eat out with friends I am often shocked and embarrassed by the habits of...

Ask The Salty Waitress: Should I tip in cash or on a card?
　　Dear Salty, 　　With tricky minimum wage laws, tax laws, restaurant policies and credit card fees, does leaving the tip in cash vs adding it to the credit card make a difference in what the server takes home at the end of the night? 　　Thanks, 　　Intermittently Cashless 　　Dear Cashless, 　　Questions about...

Ask The Salty Waitress: Is it okay for adults to order from the kids’ menu?
　　Dear Salty, 　　In one of your recent columns, someone mentioned in a comment that ordering off the kids’ menu is a crappy thing to do. Is it really that bad? Sometimes I don’t want a big portion, and sometimes I just prefer those options. 　　I’ve ordered from the kids’ menu...

Ask The Salty Waitress: Can I get a clean fork over here?
　　Dear Salty, 　　When I am at home I use one fork for my salad and one for my entree. Many places I go do not provide a salad fork and a dinner fork. So they collect my salad bowl and ask me to keep my fork. I really don’t want...

Ask The Salty Waitress: Why does the server ask if my wife and I need separate checks?
　　Dear Salty, 　　Is there etiquette or general protocol that governs when servers ask two customers eating together if they’ll need one check or two? I inquire because with some frequency, my wife and I get asked this when she meets me for lunch. I say it’s because it’s lunch in...

Ask The Salty Waitress: Should I bring my kid to a tavern?
　　Dear Salty, 　　My wife and I love a certain bar in our neighborhood. It’s really more of a tavern, I guess, because it has deep-fried bar food and surprisingly decent pizza, in addition to TVs and happy hour specials and all that. My question is: Is it weird to bring...

Ask The Salty Waitress: Is it wrong to expect my mega-rich friend to pay for dinner?
　　Dear Ms. Salty, 　　One of my friends happens to be a wealthy executive of a multi-national corporation. The guy is loaded—upper-six figures rich. When I first got to know him and we dined out, he would almost always pick up the tab. It would become this implicit thing — he...
