While food assumption is rising, the service is seriously being criticized with "poor service" at the top of the list at the +70% in just about every city across the nation. Coming in at the high 20 percent and tying are complaints about noise and crowds. Prices and parking are vying at 4% while food itself is 5%. Time and again service has proven to be public's thorn in its side.
In 2000 the average tip in the United States was approximately 18% but this has been steadily rising and is now 18.7% for 2006. There is a definite distinction between the 2 coastlines. The East restaurateurs are by far the more openhanded tippers. The city of "Brotherly Love", Philadelphia has a tendency to tip at a high 19.2% with Atlanta coming in neck to neck at 19.1%. Bostonians are liberal as well tipping at 18.9%. LA and San Francisco are both even at 18.3 with Seattle turning out to be the worst at an even 18%.
It is true that casualness has become the way in regards to the usual customer apparel as hardly any top restaurants require a jacket and tie any longer. However, restaurants themselves have become more tasteful and trendy. Prestigious chefs are requesting high-style environments that are creating unforgettable restaurants! With hoteliers and real estate entrepreneurs financing multi-million deals, it's no surprise that chefs are classing up their eateries.
