I've been known to leave tips that were bigger than the *check* before.
Amy and I were at a restaraunt a couple of weeks ago, and I dont remember
how, but the waitress mentioned that she was having to work a double shift
and had two kids at home.  I think our check was only $15 or so, and I left
her a $10 tip.

I used to always way-overtip our favorite waitress at a local 24-hour
cafe (she always knew what we wanted to drink, always went out of her way
to say hi even if we werent in her section, etc) but she quit, so we dont
go back there much.

I'll always prefer a place with mediocre food and good service over
somewplace with great food and shitty service.

For those in or near Austin, Cool River Cafe is *highly* recommended.
Good prices, EXCELLENT service, and they dont look down their nose
snootily at you when you come in in jeans and a tie-dyed tshirt to
shit next to froofy SUV-driving yuppies.
