I&#x27;ve recently had a run of bad experiences with hostesses at restaurants (and not the typical&#x2F;understandable little extra wait for a table)<p>Each of these times the food and waiter service has been good, but the misdeeds of the hostess overshadowed the meal.<p>I&#x27;ve taken to asking the waiter if they share tips with the hostess and if they say yes, not tipping or tipping a small amount and telling them that the poor tip is not a result of their efforts but the hostess, and they should speak to her. If they don&#x27;t split tips i don&#x27;t do this.<p>Thoughts, better suggestions?
