Servers can tell who's going to tip well within 30 seconds of sitting down - Silicon Canals

Picture this: a couple walks into a restaurant on a Friday night. They glance around, choose their table, and settle into their seats. Before they've even opened their menus, their server already has a pretty good idea whether they'll leave 10% or 25%. It sounds like mind reading, but after talking with dozens of servers over the years, I've learned it's more like pattern recognition honed by thousands of interactions.

After accounting for the distance from the store to the customer's home, I made the equivalent of $8.50 an hour for that Panera run.
