I only leave a tip if it's a take away, as a thanks for delievering it... if it's room service (included)
If it's a bill at a restaurant, i don't wanna look tight... So i'd round it up to the nearest pound or give a note and not even mention a tip
I don't get a tip everytime i load a lorry so why should i give someone a tip for doing less work than i do?
BAAA HUMBUG!!! |

Yes stil particularly if service was good. If its as bad as a fast food place, then pay for food and that is all.
When eating out alone I tend to tip better, simply to show that single people eating out are not tight fisted. |

Went out for a meal in Basingstoke and the bill came with an automatic service charge added but it was sin with the food and not separate.
That would of been ok but the service was crap and the food even poorer.
So take that bill back and remove the service charge .

Im a really good tipper if the service is good. I was a waitress many moons ago and i know what its like. The best tip i ever gave was for my sons 18th and i gave them £60 but it was an expensive meal. I had gone in and arranged with the manageress how i wanted everything done and they did it perfectly.
I rarely pay for a meal though lol. Jay tips 10% |

I always think a tip is meant for the waiter/waitress not for the restaurant and if you leave the tip with your bill, the restaurant takes it and not often is is passed onto the person who you are thanking for good service.
If they are still about when I have finished my meal I always try to discretely pass them the tip as some restaurants make them add them to the pot for all to share. A discrete handshake usually works |

I always tip for some services, such as a hairdresser (about 10%) or a taxi driver, usually about 50-60p minimum.
If eating out, I'm mindful of my career in Hotels and Catering, when tiops were useful to augment the low wages. If there was a tronc for all tips from which all personnel in the Restaurant got a share, all good and well, but if I was lucky, & got a tip directly from the customer, my Restaurant Manager never intervened and took it off me.
So, where the service is good, I always ensure the waiter/ess gets the tip direct. If service was sloppy, they or the restaurant don't get anything. |

Tipping is an archaic throwback from harsher times.
People should be paid a decent salary. No one should be earning below the minimum wage..
Why do some jobs attract tips and not others.
Not tipping does not mean you thought the service was shit. That person does earn a salary.
Why tip taxi's , hairdressers, waiters etc and not a police officer , a politician or a lawyer ? |
