How much do you tip?

LilBit said:
At places where I'm a regular, I typically tip 50%, because the service I get is extremely personalized, and I get treated very well.

Wow! I'll tip 50% if the waiter sucks my cock too. :lol:

take-out food: $2 if it's a local restaurant that I frequent often (otherwise, $0 for take-out/pick-up)

Loki you brought up a good one...I picked up a carryout-order from Hooters once..It wasnt even a 5-min wait @ the bar...The order was about $30 bucks or more....After I paid the Chick she said with a serious face "where is my Tip?"...I tried to flirt with her and told her I'd be back and she said "My boyfriend will be back by the time you come back and I want a tip"....I laughed and left and I didnt give her anything...

Should we tip Cashiers/Bar tenders/waitresses when they ring up our carry-out orders? If the STANDARD rule is YES you should then I've been ignorant all this time...

Now if you walk in and place a carry-out order @ the bar then leaving a tip to the Server makes sense to me..But if I called the order in and I'm in and out under 5-min why should I tip at all?
 
I was a food server for many years. I start with 20%. I'll go 5% either way when necessary. If a server really makes an effort to style me out, I'll do the same when I tip.

My gran says that when she visited the US she was blown away by the level of service she received and how warm and welcoming the waiting staff were toward her, she kept tipping about 40%-45% because she felt so welcome and satisfied. She always says that "regardless of what you say about America, you always get your value for money and excellent service, you can't fault it, especially when it comes to restaurants and foodie places." :lol:

Awww, give your gran a big hug from an equally delighted American server. (*8*) What a nice thing to read.
 
It depends. Great answer, huh?

1. At the airport (skycap), in addition to the $2 fee per bag, I'll kick in another $1.
2. If I'm having lunch at a semi-fast food place (like Steak and Shake) and my bill is under $5, I'll tip at least $1 which is generally more than 20%.
3. Lunch? 15%, usually.
4. Dinner? 20% More for above average service.
5. Cab? If the fare is roughly $30, a $5 tip seems "logical". If the driver doesn't have to ask me for directions, doesn't talk on his cell phone and has bathed recently, as much as $40.

ANECDOTE ALERT:
One of my many psychotic co-workers from the past didn't think anyone was entitled to a tip. As in, "why should I pay someone extra when he's just doing his job?" I was going to try and explain the concept of tradition and that waiters don't get paid very much, but I realized I would have been wasting my time.

When I was on my way to a night class, time was short and I wasn't very hungry. I stopped at a "family" type restaurant and only ordered soup and half a sandwich. The waitress was very provoked with me for not ordering more. I left her a penny as a sincere token of my appreciation. :p

Why would you reward bad service with a tip? :confused:

Because if I don't tip, I'm actually taking money from the server's pocket. (Servers are automatically taxed based on their sales, regardless of whether or not they're tipped, and they also generally have to tip out a portion of their sales to the host, bussers, and/or bartender.) Considering that the base pay is usually between $2-$3, I can't in good conscience leave them with nothing.
 
It depends; Australia is not a tip oriented economy, tipping is a mere informal thing that is assumed the right thing to do at restaurants however it is not expected at the majority of places.

For a decent meal for 2 people (easily over $100 at any decent restaurant) 10% is appropriate, any additional would be based off the meal and service.

For anything under $100, it is based on service and what I feel is appropriate given the circumstances.

If service staff were useless and the meal shit... I don't feel obliged to tip, tipping is something to work for, not something to expect.

edit; I thought an example might be appropriate.

At a nice seafood place, my total bill for 2 people came to $160. I was amazingly impressed with the food, the service and the overall experience that I left $200 on the tray and thanked the staff on the way out. It is also a place that I recommend to most people that look at eating in the area.
