| Are you a highly generous tipper or are you a Eugene H. Krabs? if you got excellent service, what would be your cap on your tip? Obviously you wouldn't give a 200 dollar tip or something but how high? If you got shitty service, how low would you go? |
| My waifu is the most wonderful waifu. Mai Valentine. We're freaking out that we're running out of time, but to do what? Should i stop and think of that? Is there something i could do to slow it down? Live in a day for once, instead of watch it sprinting by |
| I guess this is a thread for us non-European folks. I usually keep it at 15%, but on some occasions I've given 20% if the service was really good. |
| I usually round up to the next highest integer to reduce coin change, occasionally I even round up to the next highest multiple of 5 to avoid coin change. I don't care about any % tip custom like North Americans, I just want to make the payment more convenient for both parties. |
No, this isn't my signature. |
| We don't, that some weird american nonsense that should be abolished. |
| In the part for Tips I write "study harder so you can get a real job" in it. |

| Nothing as we have actual fucking paychecks for our workers. We don't tip here, that shit is like 3rd world country bullshit All tips systems are shit and worker abuse imo. Abulish that shit AND PAY YOUR EMPLOYEES LIKE THEY DESERVE |

| I don't use restaurants. I can make my own food at 1/20th the price and not worry about someone spitting in it. |
| I usually toss them a $5 bill or so depending on how good the service was. Could fluctuate again depending. They can't make the scene without the green! |

| "Tipping culture" is a weird concept. In some ways, it's kind of an insult to the dignity of labor. It implies that workers shouldn't be paid a living wage by their employers, but should instead rely on handouts from customers. I'm not someone who's into Marxist stuff or anything, but come on, convincing people that this system is normal or fair is the ultimate win for those who benefit from it the most, lol.

| @Adnash that's hard to believe, because ultimately it just gets abused, the restaurant owner basically subsidises the employee wages with tips, and then not tipping basically guilt trips the customer, using the workers as the weapon. And it got to the point where they ask for tips in self checkout stores. |
| solid 20-35% depending on food and service |

| @JaniSIr Well, but on the other hand, blaming customers from a different culture for not embracing someone's awkward system doesn't exactly come off as wholesome, lol. Sure, there are cases where tipping gets misused, and that's probably where most of the worker complaints come from (rightfully so). But in the context I mentioned, like that waiter (assuming she was getting a decent and fair wage) expecting 20% from European customers in Europe, it felt more like entitlement than systemic abuse. The fact that this custom is still around, despite protests and actions by workers' rights activists, makes me think that, generally speaking, the majority of Americans don't see it as something negative or worth changing. You can still find reports nowadays, lust like from a hundred years ago, about customers ending up with soup on their clothes after refusing to leave a tip (or leaving too small a tip). Some of these stories are shared in a comedic way, but that doesn't make them any less relevant. I’m not against tipping in general, by the way. Tipping, at least in traditional restaurants, no matter the part of the world, isn’t inherently bad if it's handled reasonably. However, using it as a substitute for fair wages, and then blaming the customer when that system fails, is where the real issue starts. |

| @JaniSIr I never saw anyone asking for a tip here, not even anyone who complained about no tip at all, that would be highly unprofessional and completely defeats the actual purpose of gratuity, which is supposed to be given only on voluntary initiative of a satisfied customer. |

| @Zarutaku To be fair the internet probably amplifies the negative stories, but still. |
| Around half a dollar or 150 Rs in local currency which is quite generous. |
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.  |
| 10% of the bill because it is automatic by law. |
