What percent do you tip your waiter/waitress?
So I decided to make a poll to see the average because me and my friend have different percentages in mind.
Edit: Sorry I forgot to add on the poll 0% because in the states we tip and i forgot that in other countries tips are not practical, but thanks for all the replies! :p

Depends on the service. If they're good then it's an average of $3-8 depending on the meal price. If you're a shitty waiter/waitress and don't come by but maybe once during the whole experience (aside from taking the orders and bringing the check), I'll be damned if you're expecting a tip at all.

I usually give 15%. I gotta admit though, I hate going out to eat...knowing I [i]should[/i] tip. It's mainly because....for example...I can go into a specialty store, where I need to ask some technical questions. It can be about art products, it can be about tools and fasteners, it can be about lawn an gardening...etc. These people could have tons of knowledge, in an underpaid job, and help you with a smile, and enjoy talking to you. Yet, tipping them gets them fired. Meanwhile, someone who brought me some bacon an eggs, refilled my drink once, can get tips. That person at the end of the day makes even more than the other workers most times. I've known people that work at restaurants, and that cash adds up. Great for them, but it just sucks that we don't have the right to tip those who deserve it so much more, should those times arise. Not to say that I haven't had some really great service from a waiter/waitress though. You get those charming people, whom really stand out, serve with a smile, and are genuinely good people doing their jobs, and then you have the people that you can tell hate their job, fake their smile, and want to get you out as soon as you take your last bite. All in all, I guess it's always just bothered me that you can't tip workers at other places. (outside of the food industry)

Depends on service. I'll always tip, but a better server gets the better tip.
-
Depends. At the coffee shop I frequent I always pay a $3 tip. Usually that's 50%. Bigger purchases ten to be more around the 15% range.
-
I support and eat at restaurants that pay their employees a normal wage.

1 RespuestaI don't tip them, I stand up and push them to the floor. If you're gonna throw them off balance, go all the way.

We do not tip in my country. It's a strange system. Add a service charge or raise your prices if it's that important to you.
-
Less the 2% or just none at all.
-
My tip depends entirely upon the service provided. If the waiter/waitress is absent most of the meal, only dropping in with food and drinks, I'm gonna tip 5%. I just don't feel that I should be giving a large tip when they essentially did nothing. But if the waiter was satisfactory, kind, and respectful, I'll tip between 20-25%.

30 Respuestas0% I'm in the U.S. and tipping is a big thing here. I refuse to give them money for doing their damn job.

Nothing they can go -blam- themselves

I pay cash based on performance. Usually it's more than 20%.

16 RespuestasEditado por Cultmeister: 3/2/2017 10:27:28 AMI was at a pub last year with my friend, and this group of American tourists was in. I'm at the bar ordering drinks, and so is one out of the group. There's maybe 5 or 6 people in their group, so like 6 drinks is at maximum around £30 given this is a pub in the middle of Cambridge, right on the river, in the height of summer. The guy leans over to me, holds up a £5 note and asks if it's enough of a tip. I don't know anyone who would tip that much in a fancy restaurant, let alone a few drinks on a sunny terrace. It just amazes me how you could pay someone so little that it's expected for the customers to voluntarily buck up their wages like that. I'm not saying I never tip, or that people shouldn't tip, but it's just a bizarre arrangement when it applies to pretty much everyone in the frontline service industry. Occasionally when I'm at work, some old lady needs help getting her shopping to the taxi rank and they'll say "oh don't worry about the coin in the trolley, keep that for yourself for being so helpful" (which is pointless since we can't take tips anyway) but I would never expect to have to rely on the generosity of customers to make up my pay.

0%. They get paid enough in civilised countries, such as Australia.

I can't think of a time I've tipped less than 20%. If I get exceptional service I tip more. Also, my definition of exceptional service probably differs from yours. Given, I don't normally go out and eat at shitty chain restaurants, so I'm sure there's some terrible servers at places where service is less of a concern. They make less money, there are less steps of service, and realistically people who like the food there aren't going for the service anyways. Now at a fine dining restaurant, it's a different story. Having worked as a server in one, and having seen the management aspect of it, you gain a different appreciation for just how hard people work for you and your guests to have a great experience. Well, if it's a fine dining restaurant that's worth anything that is. I mean, I personally don't have the issue of being undertipped, because you don't come to our restaurant with the intention of not tipping. We're known around the state for our exceptionalism, and so it's usually a social cue that's already understood. The only time I've been significantly undertipped was when I got the guy who was paying a little tipsy and his mathematical abilities went out the window.

2 RespuestasAt least 10% always. Usually it's 15% though.

5 RespuestasTipping is huge in US. I've been a server. One way to really piss us off is to not tip. Just remember you cannot always see what's happening to your food. Always be nice to your server and tip well. If the service was bad then don't come back.

5 RespuestasI'm a kid so the only thing I have to do is pizza. Me and my friends usually spend $20 and tip $5. So it's technically a 25% tip.

1 RespuestaI'm a tightass, it's not my job to pay workers so I don't tip unless I'm impressing someone.
