I jokeingly say to my girl how much her half is . I divide the $31.02 ticket up and tell her she owes me $15.51 . She looks in her purse as if to pull out some money . I reach in my wallet and pull out a $50.00 bill and lay it on the table. The waiter almost gallops over to the table and picks it up off the table . Looks at me and says will you be wanting any change. I look up in amazement and say well YES! So I think about it while he is gone and say to myself and my girl should I tip or not , I ended up leaving him $5.00 ......What would you do?

You over tipped by $0.35 according the standard 15% rule and you didn't have a party of 8 so you weren't required to tip 20%, so you did the right thing, I usually tip between 10-20%, depending on how the waiter/waitress was but 10% is my lowest and 20% is my highest, although I did tip $5.00 one time on a $6.20 meal because the waitress was hot
