As a server, the quest for the ultimate tip can feel like a never-ending challenge. With each shift comes the opportunity to provide exceptional service, create a welcoming atmosphere, and leave a lasting impression on your customers in hopes of a generous gratuity.
Or you can just be completely honest. That’s what Tiktok user Adamo (@yoitsadamo) said they do, and it seems to work great.
He says whenever a customer asks about an item he gives it the highest praise. “It’s my favorite. I get it all the time. You really should get it.” And then he gets about a 23% tip.
Even though he hates all the items on the menu. “I’ve never fucking eaten that before, and I’m never going to. … But it works every time.”

What are your thoughts on this? What were your strategies for getting maximum tips when you served tables? Did you find it better to be honest and blunt, or take the flowery approach? Let us know in the comments.
