Spend an hour or two on just one table and you need to be getting a fat tip to make it worth your while.
I worked at a hot spot in G'town in DC. It was the intersection every foreign tourist told their taxi driver to take them. I can't tell you how many tables I waited on where they brought their luggage with them from the airport, were total time vampires, were nice as can be, totally happy with my service and didn't leave a dime for a tip.

Rick, I know its hard work but why not up the bill and give a certain percent to the waiters?
