If your waiter did small magic tricks to entertain you, would you tip better or worse?

Question

Would you like it or would you be annoyed?

Im talking about like short 5 sec. spur of the moment tricks...

Answer 1

I would like it if it only happened once or twice, any more than that would be rude and they would lose tip money.

Answer 2

i would tip extra

Answer 3

well w/me it would depend on how much money i had if i had enough--ofcourse!

Answer 4

It would depend upon my mood as I generally do not like the waiter to hover around while I try to eat. If it was appropriate though I would probably enjoy and definately increase the tip as long as the majic did not interfere with good service.

Answer 5

I would probably not tip any better. Just because you know thats pushy he is really pushing for you to tip high, and that does not impress me I just like nice people and politness.

Answer 6

I WOULD DEFINITELY TIP HIM/HER LIKE 50 DOLLARS!

Answer 7

The trick of being a server is social skills. Do i look like I'm in the MOOD for a trick?

Answer 8

it depends if you liked it

Answer 9

I'd give a better tip for the effort if nothing else.

Answer 10

I think that would be pretty neat. The tip would definitely be better!

Answer 11

Depends on the type of restaurant. If it's an intimate place and I'm enjoying a quiet glass of wine with my wife, then some idiot waiter doing magic would be about the most annoying thing that I could think of. He would not only get no tip, but I would ensure that the manager was aware of the fact that our experience at the restaurant was ruined by his intrusiveness.

On the other hand, if it's a casual dining place and we have our children out for a plate of chicken fingers and fries, then absolutely! It would be great fun, the kids would love it, and it would make the experience much more enjoyable. The tip would likely increase by 25 or 30 percent.

Context is everything.

Answer 12

I'd find it cheese and would not tip

Answer 13

did you like it?thats your answer!

Answer 14

i would find it odd unless it was a theme place of some kind..  generally I want the server to check in to make sure we have everything but generally leave us alone

Answer 15

I'd tip a lot more, I'm quite easily amused, especially by magic...And shiny things.. :)

Answer 16

I don't go out to dinner to be entertained.  If I wanted entertainment I would have gone to a show.  I usually go to dinner to socialize with friends and wouldn't welcome the interruption.

Answer 17

That completely annoys me! I'm a bartender and I hate when people try talking and entertaining me at a table when I'm trying to enjoy my food.
