... is a percentage of the meal cost. It seems to belie the the fact that waiters in cheap’n'cheerful gaffs may work twice as hard as a fancy pants maitre’d. But whatever happens, if you get a food discount, it should never effect the tip value. You saved a tenner, that is money to spend on the wait staff.

So when we went home that day and seating on the dining table, I stood up and started ...
