Do you tip ?

[GOD]

Like at restaurants and etc.... I myself usually always tip really good b/c I work as a waitor and know how hard it is and I also know how cheap some people are too . Ex. If i were to go out on a date and eat about $ 30 worth of food i would tip between 4-6 depends on how the service was but I always tip good

I usuially tip between 10-15%. I think this is alot. If the service is $hit, then sometimes less, and if the waitor does something extra, then maybe a bit more.

depends on service

Depends on the service. I used to be a waiter too so I can usually tell if someone is putting in the effort. I've been known not to tip a shitty server. Sometimes there is just no excuse for shitty service. If I have to sit there and hunt down my server for every little thing there is noway they'll get a tip from me.

On the other side if a server is really going out of his/her way to make my experience more enjoyable I'll give them a little more.

Same here. Better not let that glass get empty.

I once gave a waitress my two cents worth, literally, that’s all she got for a tip.

I've got a simple philosophy...And when I go out either with my girl or my friends,I let the waitor or waitress know this that I'll have a glass of beer and if she/he can keep it full without measking for a fill up the they'll get a good tip..Ususally it's better than the average of 15% more like 20%...

But on the other hand if he/she lets myglass get empy then te tips will be crappy

Only once did I not tip. That was in Laughlin and I had asked for beer from the time I got there... 40 minutes later as I was paying the check, she brought my beer.. No tip.

Generally 10-15% tip.

Watch out, because some restraunts are already adding a 15% gratuity fee to the bill, so don't tip twice!

At the very least, I tip the tax per head.

I saw that once here, and argued the bill until I got the manager to take the 15% off the bill. Putting a "Gratuity Fee" on the bill defeats the purpose of tipping, IMO. For instance, what if the service is crap? or maybe its extra good? Its dumb.

I think the reason the are adding the gratuity fee is because the IRS has determined they are loosing a lot of money in unclaimed tips, so now they charge food industry personel (12% I think) on the bill, regardless of whether they get tipped or not, so the fist part of the f(&)%$g came from the IRS.

I was told once "if you can't afford to leave a tip, you shouldn't be eating out".

I always tip, unless the service is HORRIBLE. Even if it's bad, I'll still leave at least 10%.

i ususally always tip too, but i think gratuity is for this occasion: when the waitress or waiter has too many people at the table....usually its over 5 or 6, they add it because its just too much work to take a chance of not getting tipped at all, ya know? or at least thats what they do in Texas...

also, this reminds me of a show i saw once...this guy put down 15 dollars on the table in ones...or 10 dollars...or something like that...well, everytime the person would mess up, he would take away a dollar from the stack and he would make sure they were watching....high comedy.

I always tip, no matter what... I usually tip whatever is left. like, if the bill is $31 I'll leave $40 and tell them to keep the change. When they come to get the money, and they say, "would you like change?" I hate saying yes, so I just leave whatever, but I have to tip

My sister is a waitress at the City Grill in Austin, TX. She says that tipping is a way the customer gives feedback to the servers. Obviously, if you are having a bad day and give bad service, you get bad tips. She says that she always tries to be avalible to the customers if at all possible. She told me she can make about 200$ a night from tips.

I tip if at all possible, provided the service/food was good. Once i went to a restaurant and got horrrrrible food. Nasty crap. But the waitress was patient with out bitching and tried her best to keep us from yelling abou it. I gave her a nice tip at the end, 25%, just because she put up with all our crap and stayed calm and helpful.

[SickLude]

yea actually, i remember one time i was with 3 of my friends and we tiped this waitress ALOT just because she was soo fine. she was always really cool and helpful...but mostly fine..our bill was about 30 dollars...we tipped her 31....
