LTE: Tipping etiquette

Regarding "My client gave to me" (Page D1, Tuesday), I got a few good laughs from your article about proper tipping for various service providers, but you forgot one of the most important ones: the waitress who serves you breakfast at your favorite morning dive.

"Tilly" gives you more service than a waitperson at any fancy dinner joint, but her tip is based on a meal that costs only $7 or $8.

 

Be sure to tip her the value of the meal during the holidays, and 25 to 50 percent of the cost of a meal every other time.
