Do you tip when you go out to eat?

[FieroGrande]

There are a lot of factors to include but they get a tip in the end.

im on the other end of things working at cracker barrel in the mornings and tgif in the evenings. i appreciate great tips of course, but for 95% of my tables, i am busting my ass to give great service and to put a smile on my guests face. so i feel that 20% or above is appropriate when the service is good or great. But when im hungover or something, and i move slow or forget something, then its completly at your discression. I return the same favor when i go out to eat as well. i will tip up to 50% when i go out if someone does a really really good job. but if they dont even appear to be trying or looking like they give a damn, then ill tip pretty shitty.

20% at most places. If the food is outstanding and so is the service I could go 30%. Six of us went out one night and spent like 200 on food and liquor and she was on us like white on rice the whole time. Extremely courteus, funny, comfortable with the group. We all tossed up and left a 50. As we were leaving she ran out after us saying we left it by accident. We said; "Nope, that's yours." That is a good waitress. She could've been feigning ignorance but it didn't matter.lol She brought her "A" game and we appreciated it.

5% big tits

5%... big tits

5% service.

[tonedeaf]

Usually 20 or 25%. 5-10% for shot service.

My regular waitresses get $5 . Anywhere else my going rate is 2-3 unless service is excellent. Looks play a part. A big part.

I can't beleive how many of you guys tip for crappy service!?

I beleive in generous tips for good service, but tipping for crap?? That's like giving someone a trophy just for showing up; oops, that seems to be the way it is these days. Sigh.

I serve part time and living in Iowa, tips aren't that good. Most people don't realize that i make 4.35 an hour so if I don't get tips, I don't make much. Being that I work At a Full service resturaunt 15% is for NORMAl service. I generally average about 12%.

Yes it's a US custom.

In France you don't tip. It's already included in each "item".

But if you are happy with the service you can do what you want.

[ExtremeOz]

Nope never tip and never will

it's a US custom...I do not tip when I am outside the US...and I feel weird about it

This is very true, however when i was in the US i never tipped as i dont belive in it, When i move to the US i highly doubt ill tip even then. im not trying to be a cunt or start a war about it but as far as i see it your already being payed to do your job so you dont need me to pay you more for doing your job.
