Frequently Asked Questions

Why does a diner receipt show coffee as a single charge with 'refills included'?
Diners charge a single fixed price for coffee regardless of how many refills the customer has, typically $2.49–$3.99. The receipt shows 'Coffee (incl. refills)' as a single line item to document that unlimited refills are part of the price, not charged separately. This differs from coffee shops where each cup is a separate charge. On a diner receipt, a party of two sharing one coffee pot still shows just one coffee line because the refill policy covers the table.
Is a 15% tip still appropriate for diner breakfast service?
The traditional minimum tip has increased over time. While 15% was the standard a generation ago, most servers and etiquette sources now consider 18% the new minimum for sit-down service with at least adequate performance. This receipt shows 18%, 20%, and 22% suggestions, not 15%. For a breakfast diner where the check is small and service is faster-paced, 20% is widely considered an appropriate tip for good service. Tipping on the pretax subtotal (as this receipt does) is correct practice.
