never had pho or ramen :\  never thought I was missing out until I saw this thread. My parents aren't adventurous at all (mainly american and italian food) and I don't have many asian friends, so I haven't had much exposure.

I'm Asian and I haven't tried Asian staples pho, ramen, and bubble tea until recently (the last year and a half). All damn good, especially bubble tea. Still wouldn't know what to order in the store.

Was more bummed out that I tipped 15% when our waiter forgot our to go leftovers.. It's not like it was a to go cup or anything... :nerd:
 
Eh 15% is good but also is minimal of acceptable..

17-20% means you took care of the server
 
Tipping is an interesting subject. As someone who waited tables for 10 years, I would be very disappointed with receiving a 15% tip, especially when I know that I delivered exemplary service. When I go out to eat, unless the server majorly screwed something up, they are getting at least 20% every time.

I've worked in the service industry many years back and can appreciate the lack of gratitude the job sometimes presents. My foundation is 15%, but tend to tip higher in the 18% to 20% range. 25% if the server is phenomenal or I'm a regular at the restaurant.

I used to frequent a bar in college called Kilkenny's right near campus. Became close friends with the main bartender. Several drunken nights, bagged girls together, played sports. It was not uncommon for me to leave him a $100 bill on a $60 tab. Once I blacked out, he paid out of pocket to send me home in a cab 30 miles away.
 
Happy belated, Champ.

As for tipping, I usually go between 15-20%. Wasn't aware 15% was such an insult

I'm sure you've seen some of the tipping threads here. First time I read one of those threads I was like wth is wrong with a lot of nt'ers. They are not normal.
