Tip of the Scale

You know when you're at a restaurant, but the server's been on a break for 5 minutes, and the food's been sitting there since the Clinton administration?

That's where the 'Tip of the Scale' comes in. It's not just a generous amount of money, it's a statement. A declaration of independence from the tyranny of bad service.

How much do you tip when the server's been on a break for 5 hours? When the busboy's been AWOL for 3 days? When the manager's been MIA for a week?

We've got the answers, and we're not afraid to share them.
