Hello, friends!
Today I went to lunch at one of the new-ish Korean restaurants in town, Kui. I actually wouldn't even have known about it except that my friend (also former student, also current tenant) Jay is a server there. He said that the lunch specials are pretty solid, so I figured I would give it a shot.
I will say that the food was actually quite good. The radish kimchi was excellent and the pork bowl was very flavorful. For $7 I got my fill and then some, including miso soup and a salad. Jay was my server and he did a great job, especially in making recommendations from the menu and bringing out my food. I had no problem tipping $2+ for a great meal and a great server.
But, that did get me thinking about tipping. Everyone tips differently. Apparently Tiger Woods and LeBron James have their thoughts on tipping. Mine is really simple: double the tax and round up to the next dollar. Sometimes it's 16%. Other times it is closer to 30%. Either way, it's way easier for me to have a hard and fast rule than worry about precise calculations and consider the service and such. Unless I see a server actually spit in my food or be obviously rude to me, that's how they are probably going to be tipped.
Today's stats:
