When the bill arrives at the table, most restaurant patrons begrudgingly find themselves fumbling for spare change or roughly calculating 15 percent.

Tips often pay the bills
In Lawrence, a city full of fast food restaurants and fine dining establishments, many KU students turn to food service jobs to pay their rent and tuition. In fact, many students depend on tips for a living.
So what is proper tipping etiquette?
Martellaro said that the job of food servers was strictly to serve food and to attend to the needs of the customer.
John Martellaro, restaurant critic for the Kansas City Star, said everyone should reward good service, even college students living on tight budgets.
"If the food is undercooked or overcooked, the room is too cold or the person seated at the table next to you is blowing smoke in your face — you can't take that out on the person serving your food," he said. "Their tip is based on how well they attend to your needs, and they make a living on that tip."
"Waiters and waitresses depend on tips for survival," he said. "If you can't afford to tip, then you should take your business to McDonald's."
The American Bistro, 101 W. 7th St., caters to an older age group, usually parents of KU students, said waitress Simone Wehbe, Omaha, Neb., senior.
Fifteen to 20 percent was the tipping guideline to follow no matter what restaurant, Martellaro said but it could vary with the level of service.
"College students don't come in as much, but when they do are excellent tippers," she said. "I think if a student can come in and pay for a meal, they should be able to afford a tip too."
At Carlos O'Kelly's Mexican Cafe, 707 W. 23rd St., Michelle Rotering, supervisor, said most KU students tipped better than Lawrence residents.
"A lot of college students have waited tables before to get themselves through school," Rotering said. "They know what it's like, and that's where the big difference is. I think everyone should have to wait tables once in their life."
Dana Breashears, Hot Springs, Ark., senior, said she did not think people realized how food servers were paid.
Many servers are paid less than minimum wage and depend on tips to supplement that salary, said Breahears, who is a waitress at Perkins, 1711 W. 23rd St.
"It's a job with a lot of adjustments," she said. "Some days I might walk out of here with $80, and some days I might leave with $20. It all depends on the day, the people and the mood."
