Wow...didn't know that... makes sense though! All the more reason to tip appropriately.It makes a difference - not in the effort required - but in the amount the server is required to "tip share" with cooks, hostesses etc.
Many times their tip share is not based on actual tips received - but on total sales. So cutting back your percentage of tip on a more expensive meal really costs the server. They still have to pay out the same amount to the hostess based on your total bill... not your total tip.
I can't say if that is how it is at Disney or not... but that is why it is important to base your percentage on the bill in addition to the level of service.
I have owned a restaurant and have several friends that do.....I have never heard of anyone having to tip out according to their sales instead of a percentage of the gratuity that is received....and by the way...this is usually left up to the discretion of the server....
Well, I'm sure different restaurants all over the country have different policies. Just because someone has never heard of it happening in their experience doesn't mean it doesn't happen.
