Tipping has always been subjective. Did you have someone following you around with a gun to your head?

I hate when my gf adds a service charge for her services.

go to a country where tips are included and see the level of service become deplorable. i'm all for it, but i tip according to quality of service.

I tip a pretty standard 20%. I just know if it's a place I'm planning to go back to, the service improves steadily once they get to know you. It's worth it considering most assholes tip like 7% to servers that bust their asses.
- i also tip 20%, but if i get attitude, really slow service or whatever it goes down from theresputnik2
- Yup.brains
- 20%, I thought it was standard was 15%? I tip for good service. A tip is not a right.ETM

Then go live in Britain.
Noone tips service staff there, so they don't care.
The cost of their wages is added onto your shit food, that they don't care if you enjoy or not.
Why should they ?
Go on, try going out to dinner at a chain restaurant on the outskirts of a generic market town in the commuter belt and tell me how much you enjoyed the bland slop they virtually threw at you, then come back and tell us that you've actually thought about it all some and changed your mind.- On holiday, when I would tip a quid or two at the bar each time I ordered, they loved it, and when I went up later, they would make sure I was served right away. No waiting.ETM
- would make sure I was served right away. No waiting.ETM

I always tip 20% at the minimum. When I dine at restaurants it is usually upwards of 30%. I enjoy rewarding good customer service, which seems to be going downhill as of late in the states.

enjoy the spit in your food and drink

people in the united states have no humility or pride in their work, everyone thinks they are too good to serve other people.
- so when you find someone who does, they should be rewarded.mrdobolina
- Yes, but don;t reward those who suck. Then they'll learn.ETM

I have waited tables and tended bar for a combined 8 years. I am rallying support for these poor souls.
The gov't does not treat tips in the same way anymore and it is high time that owners of establishments started treating these employees with the proper respect they deserve.
This is a movement.
Oh, and Moth...I do not tip begrudgingly, i don't tip at all.
Off to lunch in NYC where I will stiff the waitstaff after running them all over hell. I know exactly what to ask for to make them double and triple trip to the table because I have so much restaurant experience.
I will continue to terrorize an additional waitstaff member on a subsequent meal for every noob that suggest I never worked in a restaurant and/ or have had shit handed to me.
If you work in a midtown lunch establishment you better put on your trackshoes.

Oh this again.
I try not to tip, but generally one eats out with friends and family and so I have to tow the line.
I worked in the service industry for 3 years, and I didn't give a fuck if someone tipped me or not for service, because I was BEING PAID to do the shitty job and I would have quit it and got another one if it wasn't paying me enough. I strongly suggest that any waitress/waiter, in any country, in any circumstance, takes personal responsibility for themselves like 99.99% of the rest of us because I can care less about your ineptitude to wipe your own ass.

this is a movement? would have gotten more support with something more original like "save the whales" or something

A QUESTION FOR THE BARTENDERS (past or present):
I always thought it does seem a little extreme to have to tip at least a dollar for bottles of beer. If the bartender is just reaching into the cooler, opening the bottle and sliding it toward you, is that really worth 20% the cost of the drink? I totally get tipping well for mixed drinks and in a busy place. But all things equal, in a dead bar, are you still obligated to tip at least a buck for every beer bottle? Do you expect this? Or would a dollar every other beer do?- Empathize man...reverse the roles and see what reaction you'd have to some dude walking away and leaving no tip.stoplying
- TIP!stoplying
- I do tip, just wonder if every bottle of beer is worth at least a buck? a vending machine could do this jobthreadpost
- sorry, not to say bartending isnt a tough gig, Im only talking about a bottle of beer herethreadpost
- thats why i like using a credit card at a bar so i can just give one good tip at the end, instead of fumbling with money.nicole_marie
