Also when waitresses keep saying sorry to me it annoys me a bit because it's about 10000 times a day, TBH i think they deliberatly rub against me all the time because they want a piece

People who think they deserve a tip, you are paid a wage do do your job, if you dont like the pay and feel you deserve more then go else where.


When you start working in this trade, you tell me you dont still dont believe in tipping.I get paid fuck all to deal with these people and I go out my way to make their meal nice.America have it right.


I tip my hair dresser . When I go to pizza (pasta) hut I leave the little mint things they give you for the waitress(/er)

Im a great waitress, and Im nice. But its just plain rude not to leave a tip, I wouldnt dream of leave a resturant without tipping unless the service was shocking.


Your paid to serve the food etc, you should be nice anyway! THATS YOUR JOB!!

P.S. I was a waiter for 4 years when i was younger F.Y.I.

This regularly drives me mad on the way to uni in the mornings. 40 is not an acceptable speed, country roads or not.

I'm really bad at tipping, as in bad because i put to much down. I tip waitresses (not waiters ) and then think, fuck is that enough? So i put a couple of quid more down. I don't like it when they want you to do it on card when you pay by card, that's annoying but I do tip if i have lunch/dinner etc at a restaurant.

If they are moody and just seem in a bad mood i'll either leave nothing or a tiny tip, but if they generally made my lunch/dinner more pleasant by being helpful, smiling and nice etc then i'll tip them

Can't believe how tight, and petty some people are here.

You go for a meal, you tip your waiter/waitress. Good service, better tip, poor or terrible service, little or no tip.

Not the case anymore.

Before, usually you would ahve your own section, you would cover this section, and are accountable for all money. If your down, it comes out of your money.

But if your up at the end of the night, anythign left is yours, it was tax free.

Now the scummy government make you put it into one nice big pot, then shared out between all staff, and I think now you get taxed on it too????

I remember earning between £20-£120 per night cash on tips, but earnt a mear £3.50ph, so you needed tips to earn a respectable wage.

People who did not tip, got real cra4ppy service next time they came in.

You non tippers think about that next time your tucking in your meal

Do we tip teachers who teach us everything we know?do we tip hospital staff when they treat us?dentisits?what about people fighting wars?firemen?no, we don't. Why should we tip someone that carries food (that we are paying for anyway) across the room to us, its a joke. Sorry, but if the money isnt good find another job.
