is 10% good tip if you go into a restaurant and you don't really get a full meal. You just get their quickest app and a fountain drink. Out the door within 15-20mins...

I usually tip 20%, 25% if it's *exceptionally* good service, but honestly that's because I just like to feel like a big shot. The standard tip is and always will be 15%, add or subtract up to 5% from that based on service.

I will say the few restaurants I've been to where they add on a surcharge of 2-3% in fine print (a horrible practice), I'll tip 12-13% and then write a note saying how much I hate their surcharges. Then I won't ever eat at that restaurant again.

Ok retards listen up:

If you do the traditional sit-down meal with cocktails 15% is the minimum tip unless the service was subpar. If you're trying to impress other people do not tip less than 20%. A lot of people worked in food service when they were younger and even if they are a CEO now, might take offense that you tipping lower, although typically if you're doing a business meal the CEO should be covering it. Typically I tip 20 to 25%, but I don't go out very often and I can afford to do so.

If you're just getting drinks at a bar tip for the amount of effort and the number of interactions with the bartending staff. Tipping a percentage on a few drinks is ridiculous. If I get a couple basic drinks I'm going to tip 2 to 3 bucks no matter what the cost of the drinks are. Just because the bar charges me more for drinks than other places doesn't mean I should be tipping more. If I get something more complicated like a martini of some kind I'll tip more.

Never tip on takeout food. The staff might appreciate it but they're also going to think you're retarded because you are being retarded.

Tipping anything less than a dollar is a huge offense to whoever your server was. If you're not going to tip a dollar or more don't tip anything at all. If you get really bad service tip a couple cents in the line and that will send a huge message.

if a bartender buys you drinks you should tip a large portion of the money they saved you.
These are the basic rules.

A martini is one of the easiest and least complicated cocktails to make: 2 simple ingredients, put on ice and shaken or stirred. Poured into glass. Garnished. Done. It's not complicated at all.

Don't tip mate. You don't have to. You shouldn't feel obliged to. If an individual's career choice is a low paying one then that is their problem. There's huge profit in preparing and selling food. Owner's however for years have been tight and only paid staff minimum wage. The industry's come back to this is to invent the tip. A gratuity paid on top of the contractually agreed amount. It's all a ruse mate. Never pay tips. Never.

>Customers define the value of their service. Any tip, including none, is, by definition, a good tip.
This. I never tip under a dollar, so if you literally can't make 10-15% make a dollar? Then you leave the dollar. If they did anything twice for you, you leave a couple of dollars or whatever you want. If you literally sat down with your food like fast food, and didn't leave a mess or require a refill, use your judgement to stuff a dollar in a tip jar on the way out or not. If you aren't going back and you aren't worried about leaving more than that *shrug*

The food and healthcare industry is so full of cucks. Everyone in this industry made a personal choice to work in it. If they don't like the wage they get for doing it, then they can bloody well go back to school, college or get an apprenticeship and improve themselves to gt a better job and arn more money. I don't give a fuck about the whining fucking nurses who put up with all the shit that patients and their families give them.

Do not tip anyone in the food industry. It is a clever sympathy ploy.

I'm in construction. Why don't my clients tip me for the good work I do for them? I am always working more hours than my salary pays me for. A deadline is a deadline and if it is missed, I risk losing my job. I get no bonuses. I get a few free beers and a couple of free meals a year from my employer at christmas and midsummer but I never expect a client to pay any extra than what he is contractually obliged to do.

If you're at a bar and having a few drinks and get along well with the bartender, he might decide to just make you a drink. You don't really tip him for that drink, but you do probably increase the amount that you'll tip at the end of the night since the bartender is being cool.
