Tipping the MD and BA ? Guys and Gals
I know the gals are here too so I will post this for all.
I have heard horror stories about tipping the Matre D (sp?) and Bridal attendants from reading reviews with Nichole and talking to some friends.
I conisier myself a gerorous person when it comes to tipping. As a former Bartender, I know what it is like to get stiffed and get an large tip and with this, I try to make my waiter / waitresses night when the service is good. My bad tips are usually above the norm for people's regular tips.
Well, my friend gave $700 dollars to MD and 700 to the bridal attendant and both were disappointed. He had about 225 people (which translates to just over $3 / person. I would think that was great. How many working class people get $700 for 5 hours?
Then I was browsing through some reviews and came across somebody who was 'called out' when they gave $1000 (5/person). I was astonished.
Nic and I are having [about] 150 people and I though $500 was going to be good. it means Iwe gave over $3/person and with the cost of everything it is probably more then we can afford. I am no nervous that it is too little. It is insane to thimk a TIP should be conisidered small when you are dealing with those amounts.
What do you all think?
What do the BA and MD actully do?
Do they split the money up with the waitors?
I am all messed up with this one.
