Cheryl Holt: Tip and Holt

cheryl holt: They don't tip you, or they may have a 200 meal and tip you a dollar per person, said Cheryl Holt, who has been a food server on the Strip since 2011, according to Hamilton Spectator. With a 200 dinner cheque, Holt said as a server, she'd typically have to pass on about 10 to the rest of the service staff, including a bartender, busser and food runner. It's very difficult when you're serving or relying on tips and the majority of your guests are foreign. If she receives a small tip, Holt said she's paying for those customers to eat at her table. European tourists give smaller tips and Chinese visitors give about 1 per person. Holt told the Las Vegas Review-Journal that in her experience, visitors from Canada tend to tip about 10 per cent.
