How much do you tip?

[MrDawn]

When you eat at a restaurant, how much do you normally tip the waitress?

I normally tip 10-15% on the bill. But if it's a bad server, they get nothing.

 

[Shortie]

It really depends on how much I tip and I go by the service I received before I make the tip. Usually, I tip around 10% if I am happy with the service but much like with any other person, if I am not happy with the service, no tip will be given.

Usually, I am happy though and I will give a tip as I feel that is only right.

Nevertheless, considering the level of service received, the quality of the food, and other factors, some people may tip more or less. It is vital to understand that servers are significantly reliant on tips.

 

[Carson20t]

My range for a tip depends on the mood I am in and how much I am impressed with the services I receive. Everyone always wants value and excellent service. If they did not ruin your day in any way then they surely deserve a good tip.It ranges from a few tips to about a dollar in my local currency.

15% minimum unless the service is really bad, I usually tip over 20%.

 

[freakofnature]

I generally tip 15-20%, unless I'm given a reason not to. Most of that is empathy based. I was a server for a short time in my younger days and I understand the struggle.

What do people think about tipping for take out? The kind you pick up, not delivery.

You are allowed to do this anyhow you want . Yes I agree with you don't tip a bad server to discourage the person from such attitude

 

[cherry123]

it is not good to reward a bad attitude. So just tip good for those that were really helpful when they attended to you.

 

[Stardom22]

For me I normally I don't do tipping. This is because the tip is inclusive in the selling price of the services rendered or the goods bought

 

[cherry123]

Yeah some location like mine do add the tips to the selling price so you don't have to do it independently

 

[Stardom22]

For me I don't see any reason for tiping as the bill I am paying includes the service charge with it.

 

[Springtime]

In my location, a 10% service charge is included in the bill. For a good server, I would give an additional $1-2 tip.

 

[Mystic]

We went out last night with friends and our bill was 94 so we tipped 15. It would be nicer if all professions had a 'living wage' fitting to their cities expenses so that tipping was something of the past.

It's certainly getting close to that here in my city. Living wage would be around 18 an hour, currently minimum wage is 16 but will go up in October to 16.55. However, this wage in anither city would not allow someone to live when just rent alone is over 2500 a month.

 

[pjbleek]

I know I will over tip for good service, otherwise, you'll be getting 10%

 

[freelancermaria]

It depends on my finances and the quality of the service I receive. If I receive excellent service and have some extra money, I will gladly give $2. Hehe

 

[Urvashi]

Tipping is not compulsory here but I tip between 5-10 percent.

 

[theearner]

As a tip, I never give more than $5 to the waitress. I am not rich, so I need to be frugal when it comes to spending.

For me, I give service providers between 10 to 15 percent based on how well they perform. Well, the amount of tip should be determined by the level of service customers receive.
