ahhh you lot are a cheap bunch. I tip a handsome 20% almost always. You all should learn to let some of that money go into the world, it comes back to you I promise. Plus I think with the way you little girls are carrying on about tip trays and the bunch that it might be good for you to let your hair down every once in a while.

However things have changed here. Waiters and bar staff make more money from tip now than before. But I think that's more because restaurant guests wanna be all show-off and tip loads just to always be remembered and get better service. Sucks.

You shouldn't mouth off to 12 drunk Irish waiters mate.

'After taxes and crap I think they're on the same level in proportion to living costs etc.'
So our living expenses are pretty close to the same but your waiters get paid more than ours and ours expect a tip to live, but on principle you guys don't believe in a tip?

iDp. I drink like a mother. We're on the verge of the £4 pint in London. There's no fucking way on gods green earth they are getting EXTRA!

It's not about being cheap. I rather pay more on the actual cheque than to be bound to tip. I tip if someone is making a good job without expecting tip.

I tip you all 20%. Thank you for your time.

Tip trays...? I thought they were complimentary ashtrays. No wonder Im always the last to get served at the bar.

Haha... it's more about you having a fucked up system. I know what you are saying and it's sad that waitresses are depending on their tip. But fucking change the system instead. That would bring some more security in to their economy as well.
And i swear to god i tipped more than you have the last five years!

Maybe you could give them a good piece of advice instead of money.
"here's a tip, why not train to do a job you enjoy and get paid properly for you fithy LEECH!"
And in case they are training to do something else later in life and are using waiting as a means to funding it.
"Give up now you worhtless urinal cake smelling loser you'll amount to nothing i tell you, NOTHING!"
Both would better shouted out whist reeking of booze at 3 in the afternoon.

I awlays tip, unless the food or service is bad. In which case I'll just let them know why I'm not tipping.

moth you are funny...I would imagine you do understand that the establishment is getting your 4 pound. The tip would be going to an either evenly paid or minimum waged bartender which ever case he might be.

MLVR - I hope you are joking about tipping more than I have in the last five years.

idp that's almost 8 dollars, you know that don't you?
That would mean you'd be paying 9/10 dollars a beer including a tip. How do you like them apples?

Well.. I'd never be rude to them. I still have simple manners - except towards the Irish who don't have any.

I lived in cape cod in the 90s for a summer and shared a house with two barmen, they would come home with about $1000 a night. They are fucken barmen, any muppet can pull a beer and smile.
In aus if you get a taxi and the fare is 22.00 they round it down. In america they would give me a bat to the head if i gave them 23.00

*LOL moth!
*Although, technically that's a racist joke, and i'm opposed to it.
