| I believe that I am an extremely generous guy. I never hesitate to donate when I can, and try to help out anyone in need when they genuinely need it. That is inevitable. But I am never going to tip for a couple obvious reasons.... Everyone knows that tipping is a choice, and I refuse to tip. Waiters are being paid a salary. It is not my fault it is low! I am not a walking charity. I don't tip my electricians, mechanics, plumber, painters, airport taxi drivers, or gardeners, so why should I tip someone who brings a plate of food from point A to point B? Does this truly make me cheap? I feel that I am instantly looked down upon because of this... :( You know what the best way to judge just how dumb somebody is??? Ask them his/her own views on tipping for a terrible service. A REAL dumbass would say something like "I tip 5-10% for bad service, and I tip 20% for good service!!!!" Lets put it this way... If you give me terribly service, I WILL SIMPLY NEVER COME BACK. But if you give me exceptional/good service I am wiling to give you business once again... So why is a tip labelled as optional even when you're coerced into it!!??? (´･ω･`) |
| it depends on the country i'm in. In the UK its about 10% , 20% if it was really good service. Also I'm pretty sure in some countries its almost a non-written rule, and there are many place where the waiter will chase after you if you don't leave a tip, so don't do it at your own risk. |
| I do tip at restaurants. Even for bad service my tip is just lower. |
| The tips are practically a part of their salary, it seems very rude not to tip. Unless the service sucks, of course. |

| What some restaurants do is brazenly include a "service charge" for the waiters as the tip, and you have to opt out of tipping. It's a rather brazen push to get people to tip. More to the point, what the fuck has the waiter got to do with how much I spent on my meal? Why should I pay them more because I bought more expensive food? When I feel I've had genuinly good service that has gone above and beyond the usual waiting duties then I have no problem. Otherwise, I try to avoid it when possible, though I do not look forward to a point where I have actively opt out of paying a service charge. |
| I tip 10-20% depending on the service. |
 |
| Unless you're in a fancier-than-average place in England, people generally don't leave tips. If we do, its usually just the remains of our change from our pockets. |
  |
| I always just tip 15%. Unless they do something really good/bad. It just seems assumed that you will tip. Of course you're really supposed to give tips first "to insure prompt service." |

Starchaser187 said: OP, if you're not going to tip, then don't go places where tipping is expected. Otherwise you're just being an ass leeching off the system. If you don't like it, don't support it instead of abusing it. I'd suggest being a waiter though to see things from their perspective. OAN, I always tip TBH, If you need to rely upon tips, then you need to get a better job. Alot of people work for minimum wage and nobody tips them. Only a few places actually say that tips are required. But almost every place will always coerce you into leaving a tip.! Alot of these people also avoid taxes. And I am pretty sure that the owner would rather not give him any of my money/business at all because I refuse to tip. |

| If you're getting good service, what you're doing is rude. I tip 15%. |
 |
| 10% as is standard in my country. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |

| I tip double the tax here in New York. |
| Unless I'm at a fancy place, I just tip with whatever change is in my wallet. I also tip more money at bars especially the really fancy ones. |
 |
| I usually tip 15%-20%. |
 |
| Base wages for waiters are abysmal, since tips are generally expected. I'd feel bad if I didn't tip them, unless they were rude or gave awful service. I generally tip 15% to 20%, or a little more if I felt they did a good job. If you don't want to pay a tip, just order your food as takeout. |

I generally tip 15% to 20%, or a little more if I felt they did a good job. If you don't want to pay a tip, just order your food as takeout. Basically. Tip is kind of for renting the table and waiter for 30 minutes LOL. Anyways, I once went to this restaurant back when I was in 11th grade with all my friends. The bill came out to be about 70$ and we gave 80$. They didn't give change back. We were all confused. I mean, 10$ was around the right amount of money to tip but still..... that's kind of messed up. We handed in 4 20 dollar bills and they didn't bother to give us change. A lot of Asian restaurants, especially Korean ones, will try to suction money off of kids at any chance that they get. |
| It's a matter of expectations. In the US, you are expected to tip around 15%. Meanwhile in Japan you get exceptional service and aren't expected to tip... It's a really bad custom, though. It just makes things more confusing and awkward. |
| I usually tip about 20% if the service is good. If they were a terrible waiter/waitress then they get nothing. |
 |
| I tip 10 - 20%. The only time I will not leave a tip is if the waiter/waitress is unpleasant or not very helpful, which is extremely rare. |
 |
| i dont eat out in the restaurant. and i am against tipping |
 |
| Not that I go to restaurants that much though, but I usually tip 10%. Of course unless the service was bad and/or the waiter/waitress was unpleasant, then they get nothing. Or if they complain about the tip being little (which didn't happen to me, but I've heard of cases like that), then I would just simply take back the tip. Though I somewhat get where you are coming from Daniel. |
 |
| I give 15% |
| Yes. I think it's conmon courtesy. But some restaurants have a sevice charge and if they have that, I don't tip anymore... XD |
 |
| Normally I don't do it. When I'm on vacation, yes. If the people working there manages to put a smile on your face and you enjoy your stay more than you thought you would, yes. |
| I'm not giving people money just for doing their job properly. |

Hammerfest said: If the people working there manages to put a smile on your face and you enjoy your stay more than you thought you would, yes. ^This One time me and and a bunch of friends went to a Japanese restaurant close to where I live. It was a lunch party for 3 of those friends. We had such a good time and the food was great. We were also a bit noisy since there was 7 of us XD So we decided that each of us put in 2 dollars towards the owner of the shop. We gave him $14 in total. It was totally worth it to give that much to him. (Lol I make it sound like $14 is too much XD) Also, since I go there occasionally for sushi, he sometimes chucks in an extra one for me :D |
Scud said: I'm not giving people money just for doing their job properly. I would use that reasoning if they were being paid reasonably enough. But minimum wage for waiters and service jobs is deliberately set lower than the regular minimum wage because of tip expectations. For doing their job properly, waiters are expected to earn more than what their base wages are. I'm not sure if I'm explaining it very well, but that's how I think of it in my mind. |

| If they didnt spit in your food or act really rude than you are a gigantic prick if you dont I give 10%-20%, if they mess up my order or so they get the lower end of the tip. |

Scud said: I'm not giving people money just for doing their job properly. Totally agree with this. If anything, bosses should give a propper salary and not depend on the costumer to pay their staff. |

Jauregui said: Scud said: I'm not giving people money just for doing their job properly. Totally agree with this. If anything, bosses should give a propper salary and not depend on the costumer to pay their staff. Yes. I am not going to give one dollar to all the people that work on this world. |
 |
| Yes. Always. If I have a bad service I tip only a little and if the service was excellent i tip more. |
| no i do not tip at restaurants |
| RRRRRRRRRR |
| Lol, why am I still surprised how many pricks would say they don't tip |

| It was rhetorical |
| Jesus Christ leave a few bucks at least. Niggardly people in here. |
| Yeah.. my dad usually runs away, lol. I ran away too sometimes, well just like 3 times. And in my bday we all payed less. But really I hate giving tips. |
| No, I don't. From where I live, we don't tip here. |
 |
| In Australia, there's no need to tip, wages are soo damn high! And the price of a decent feed is the same! No-one asks or hints for them! I've never tipped, not once! sure i'll throws coins at that donation box you have on the counter for kids with aids... |
| I tip in the states. Not in China though. It's not 'required.' |
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)dont hate me cause you aint me( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)  |
