Discussion: Why do we leave tips? - Page 24

Gavin.

not this thread again....

Leave a tip, at least 10%

That amount usually rounds your bill up to the next $10 amount so its nice and even

And you won't look like a jackass

Just sayin..

NE.

The ignorance in this thread.

It's just customary. If you can't afford to tip, then you probably have no business dining.

In all honesty if you have the money and you don't give tips to hardworking waiters I say you're pretty cheap.

I always give tips, especially to cute pizza boys.

I mean if they deliver your delicious pizza outside in the freezing cold with their scooters, they sure do deserve some extra money with the minimum ass wage they get. Unless a waiter or whatever is rude and is doing no good at all, I could imagine one not giving a tip, but it's just about the gesture. Don't be a cheap brat

Uh, why should I give them a tip? It's not my fault they're in a minimum wage job. Also, I have never met anyone in my life who tips and they're all nice people. Must be cause I'm in Australia..

I dont but its more of a thing in America then in Europe,

We don't have the same social norms here in the UK. If we have a small amount of change we leave it as a tip if it's over £2.10 we keep it. Generousity isn't a thing here

You should tip something. I mean even if the service was terrible atleast leave a dollar. Servers get paid hardly anything and they're on their feet all day, carrying food back and forth, serving 4 or more tables every 30 mins. It can be a tough job so the least you can do is give them a tip. It doesn't have to be like 10 dollars or more. A good 3-4 dollars is always a decent amount of 10-15% of your ticket price.

Trust me, tipping goes a long way in return when you want something!

In Europe they already make at least minimum wage so the "tip" is included in the food prices. It's much better and fairer.

You will never know how appreciated tips are until you work in a tipping business...whatever that tipping business may be. It's a gratuity for a job well done. It's not expected, but, it is appreciated. Trust me, if you have never worked in a tipping industry up until now, and you somehow end up in one in the future, you will totally change your tune about tipping.
