Okay... so I pay 15% if the service is good, but if the service is bad I
only pay 10%.... but if the service is bad because they are understaffed
I pay her 15% anyway. I still end up paying 15% for rotten service. If
the reason for the bad service is that they are understaffed that means
that she is serving more people and, hopefully, getting tips from more
people. We were there for about 2 hours and if she got averaged 15%
from each couple that would make it about $150 for two hours work....$75
per hour.
