      At least around here, if you go to some of the places frequented by office workers downtown the prices are extremely low and the quality quite high. I imagine they do very well on tips.

        My brother used to wait at an Applebees type joint, (well except there was actual food and not just appetizers,)

        Apparently the worst tippers were the Sunday-after-church crowd followed closely by lunch-special (soup and salad,) rush.

        The problem with the soup and salad was that it was free refills so lots of work and the bill stayed low for the percentage tippers.
