..and conversely what's the smallest and why ?
This come on the back of todays' story from Pennsylvania

Waitress Mariana Lambert was on the receiving end of a generous gratuity as part of the "Tips for Jesus" movement. She received a whopping $3,000 after serving up a $13.25 Stromboli meal at Alfredo's restaurant in Scranton, Penn..
6ABC Philadelphia reported that initially Mariana and management at Alfredo's weren't entirely convinced at the tip's legitimacy.

"We ran his card everything went through properly and they took his ID and took pictures of everything so they waited a little bit to make sure it was legit and went through and it ended up being real."
MSN also reported on the gesture, additionally quoting Mariana as saying: "It really meant a lot to me because everyone's going through stuff. It really touched my heart. I still can't believe it. I'm still in shock"
However the outlet stated that the situation went sour after the restaurant claimed Eric Smith, who left the tip, was disputing the charge: "A little over a month ago, we received something in the mail that Eric was disputing the charge for the tip that he left," Zachary Johnson told local news outlet WNEP.

"We thought somebody was actually trying to do a good thing. And then now we are, what, three months later? Not even, and there's nothing. There's nothing to show for it at this point," Zachary added.

Zachary went on to say that Eric said they could sue the restaurant for the money as they gave Mariana the $3,000 "tips for Jesus" gratuity she was handed. "Unfortunately, we had to file charges through the magistrate's office because now we're just out of this money at this point. And he told us to sue him. so that's what we're going to end up doing, I guess."

I left a $100 tip for the bartender at the place where my daughter worked....as the bartender. ;)
Edit: I've not had many problems with food service, but if the wait-staff is completely oblivious or the food is seriously deficient, I won't bother leaving any tip. And, here's a tip: never ever bitterly complain about the food and rudely demand it be sent back, do I have to explain further?
