Tipping Friends...

So say your friend is a waiter, bartender, hair stylist...whatever
you go to them for their service, then comes the bill.
You want to give a big tip because they're your friend.
But then you start to second guess yourself because you don't want them to think of it as a charity case. The act could come across as though you think you're better than them, such as saying, 'look how well off I am and how much you need this money.'
Then you start to think what if they think any tip is a charity case and should I be tipping them at all?
what do you do?

Though I did have a friend of a friend who left a salon to have her own hair business in her own home...I feel like I left her a bit less of a tip.

suppose they comp a drink or food dish for you. Do you add the cost of what was comped to the tip?
I'm assuming comp is sneak?
and I say no - they took the risk of doing so, and I'm assuming no friend would force their friend to give them free refreshments that may jeopardize their job.

shitty service is a completely different story.
and please don't cow tip. wtf did they ever do to you, except supply delicious burger?
just tip what you would if you didn't know them...if they expect more from you because you're friends, well, that doesn't sound very friendly

when i was a server it would always bug me when people didnt repay my "generosity" with a better tip... sure the logic is faulty cause i am technically stealing from the company then expecting to make more $ from it... BUT most servers are overworked and treated like shit... so it works out

good point. set the precedent early so that they don't expect you to over tip in teh future or buy roudns of shots when you go out. fuckin brilliant
well played.
