We often tip 20% for dining out, and if it is a small bill (such as a diner type breakfast), we will tip even 25 or 30% (the poor server works just as hard, and has to make a living...their salaries are usually near to nothing). However, if I am at a fancy restaurant, and end up with a $200 dinner bill, is it right to tip $40 (20%)? Does that server work any harder then the one at the Outback Steak House or Denny's who ends up with a $5 or $6 tip?
I am just never sure how to feel about this?
Anyone want to chime in?

i think you should tip on the quality of the service. did he/she stay on top of getting you drinks and went out of their way to make sure you had everything right with your order and did a fantastic job? OR did they just take your order give you one refill after you had to ask a time or 2, did they have a friendsly attitude? If they had good customer service and you have a high bill give what you feel is right, if they had poor to terrible customer service then again use your judgment on how much you wanna give them.
