In the same boat here, but always think the waiter/waitress gives you the "roll of the eyes" when you split an entree, meaning "my tip just got cut in half." We normally order a bottle of wine, or a few glasses for her and drinks for me, but still get the feeling we are being cheapskates and being a bother.
In fact, we just don't eat as much as we used to and don't want a doggie bag when we are in Vegas. Anybody else get this feeling or am I just being paranoid? How do you think the restaurants view this practice?
To make up for my insecurity, I normally tip 25% plus.
