I've worked fine dining, and no you're not. You're more likely to encounter a level of service that's going to make you want to tip more, but the normal rule of thumb exists.

Do you tip more at a 5-Star restaurant than you do at Applebees? If so, why? The waitstaff is doing the same work.

You need to eat someplace other than Applebees on occasion. The difference is night and day at a 5-star restaurant, even without including wine service. Your tip is also split among more staff members, and they turn over fewer tables.

Ok ... I am taking back this post!

Anyone see me or play at a table with me at Taj on Sunday or Monday?

Anyone else want to post their report?

I guess my point was that I don't see the difference...so Dealer tips aren't percentage based? I was really arguing against the "they do the same work" point that was made earlier.

I've been to applebees, I've been to 5-stars, often times I find that the service at applebees is better than at 5-stars because the servers know that they have to work to get a good tip. The Servers at 5-stars know they're going to get a good tip because the bill is so expensive...see what I'm getting at?

I am generally a big tipper, but I do believe that it is customary to tip more towards the 20% or more mark in a high-end restaurant. Applebees on the other hand most people probably tip more around 15% (and some pretax)....early bird special crowd at the diner is more around 10%.

fwiw, a buck a pot is standard even in very large games, and many high limit players aren't generous tippers at all.

I LOVE the Borgata. My first casino trip was there and after that nothing else could measure up, the Taj was a dissappointment and the Trop's poker room was a hole.
