6. No, but it's not expected where I live. It's not "rude" like you hear everyone say but it's weird and puts them on the spot especially since tipping has a lot of rules.

Like I'd "tip" my doctor on his birthday as a thank you for always taking care of me with a 熨斗袋 (like a gift envelope) and being overly polite with a lot of bowing and いつもお世話になります (itsumo osewa ni narimasu. // Thank you for your services and continue services.) and he'd bow a lot and respond very similarly.

However just handing your waiter money like it's expected is weird. How are they supposed to react. They can't really accept it because they're supposed to humble you and care for you, but they can't really decline it because it's impolite.

Dunno why I posted in this thread with such an opening, but it did make me interested in tipping habits since every country I lived in treated it differently.

Just got my T4 today, made around $19.5k plus an undocumented ~$4.5k in tips. That's unconverted, but the dollars are close enough anyway.

I never go under 15% unless I had a particularly unpleasant experience.

No. Tipping is built into the culture and I consider it a part of the cost of my meal when I'm considering how much I want to spend. If I didn't leave a tip it would be akin to telling the waiter their service was exceptionally poor.

There is no US equivalent.
MBO 4 is probably somewhere between high school and a college degree.

5. What % do you actually tip, on average, in a normal restaurant meal (you know the kind)

I tip a flat 2 euro if the service is satisfactory and it rarely isn't.
I spend 20 euro on average so that's a 10% tip.
This is just a courtesy because there are no refills and the servers make decent wages.

6. Does the act of thinking about a tip cause agitation in your posterior (yes or no)

Not at all because it isn't mandatory and nothing to get agitated about.
I did develop a minor case of proctalgia fugax when I had to adjust to American tipping culture as a foreigner. It often felt confusing and circuitous.

Depends on the place. One place I get coffee I just get my card swiped, get handed a cup, and fix my coffee the way I like it. The other place they swipe my card, put coffee in my cup, and I have to sign a receipt with a tip line on it that makes me break out into sweat every time. I always round up to the next dollar but when I calculate that it's not 20% I become nervous. Adversely, the best coffee place in town doesn't have a receipt to sign and I always bring change to tip because I love their products and their service.

The only reason I guess I don't mind paying 20% is that I don't spend much and I like to round up to whole numbers. Like I'll spend $8 at a restaurant and tip $2.

Theory: The eating establishment pays the server to bring me to my seat, take my order, bring me my food, and refill my drink. Anything the server does over that to make my time eating there enjoyable is what I tip for, that could be suggesting menu items if I ask, making sure my drink is never empty, etc.

Real Estate Appraiser (tax status: Self-Employed)

Variable Income. During the heyday (mid-2000's), I'd be making six figures easy. Now its closer to around 50k. Basically the gov't killed our entire profession with the big finance reform laws after the real estate bubble.

It sucks, but the perks are I work my own hours, can work from an office or from home or even from a bar if I choose to, and any given day I can say fuck it and go to the gym, the beach, or go play golf.

I could certainly be making more, but having my time to myself and not being a slave to the clock is quite nice.

No, why would it? Servers have a shit job and get paid shit to do it. I'm more than happy to help them out. Though I'd rather see them earn an actual living wage and get tips as a bonus. Living off tips sucks ass.

Must be nice. My dad accidentally let his license lapse, went to reapply and had the state tell him that, in spite of his 35 years experience of owning his own business and 15 year tenure as the president of the local surveyor's association, he was ineligible since he lacked a BS.

Now he paints parking lots with his commercial painter brother. Still makes the same amount of money, but it's less fulfilling.

I don't tip because here in CA waiting staff get paid minimum wage or more depending on where they work, i'm not going to pay them extra just cause they brought out my food. If I tip, I tip the chef 8-12%

5. I don't usually eat out, and I don't spend a ton of money when I do, but I usually round up to the next highest 10 dollar amount. So if my whole dish was, say, 24 dollars, I'd pay 30. If it was 20 or sth. I'd pay like 25 though.

Also good if you happen to drop a paycheck in the AVAC machine and want it out before the suckout happens. That happened to me once, I got a check in the mail from my mailbox on the way to my apartment at the time, then was sorting out the junk mail so I could drop it in the trash on my way, unforfuntately I dropped the paycheck too. Luckily the AVAC HVAC folk with a fast call retreived it for me, and yes I gave the guy $20 and a hearty well thought out thank you.

I don't do a % but when the bill comes for me and girlfriend 0-30 I just round off to the next 5 (i.e 22 dollar meal turns into a 25), 30-100 I tip $10, 100-200 I tip $20, 200-300 I tip $30. If I'm eating a more expensive meal either my parents or her parents have taken us and are paying.

What's black and white mean? Is that a dress code for the restaurant?

You're right about paying what's on the menu, but sometimes a service charge can be on that do and that's a defacto contract by ordering. Usually for instance in NYC, that's not on the menu unless it's for a large group of people.

There's a large debate about tipping from both sides, personally I'm against it, people should be paid properly so I don't have to deal with it. That's what I'm paying them for, so I don't have to deal with it when going out, dealing with someone's tip is really the bloody last thing I want to deal with.

From their side, they'll say it costs less. Well no it doesn't when some fuck has his or her hand out expecting me to waste my time calculating a fucking tip. That's very one sided bullshit if they were customer oriented, they'd condsider the cost to the customer of dealing with their hipster bullshit.

Of course that latter part wont happen, it's also an excuse for managers and owners to steal money for people given in cash, therefore not declaring it.

FUCKING YES it bothers me. What drives me crazy is the inequality of it, that the tip should be based off of what you spent.

I go to Applebees, server comes to the table about 5 times through the visit - bill is $60 - tip is between $9 and $12.

But if I go to a nice place - the fucking server still does the same amount of work as the Applebees person....actually less in many cases. But since I spent $140 now I have to leave them from $21 to $28?

They have done nothing to deserve more than the Applebees person, but that's what the custom is and since I liked the restaurant and want to go back regularly and not be treated like shit - I have to tip these fuckers more than I make in hour, while working no where near as hard as I do, and doing something I could fuck well do for myself.

6. Yes it annoys me deeply.
In my experience family run restaurants always have an edge to their food that gives it character. It's not that the food is cooked differently, it's not that the service is done more efficiently. It's that the place is more unified. Therefore happier and smoother running. There's a pot of profit at the end which is divided like drawings from a company, so waiting staff make the same as book keepers, bar, kitchen. It shows because the restaurant almost becomes like an extension of their home and the welcoming and service are genuine and they take pride in their craft.

As soon as you take a modern approach and pay some staff exceedingly more than others even those performing the same role, with competition involved it harbours resentment towards the employer and staff and a fakeness towards the customer. It is essentially Ingenuine because the restaurant becomes more about milking dollars, than the sharing of food and atmosphere.

And eventually you end up with a situation where the best waiting staff who know every regulars name, drinks, favorite seats, favorite meals, know what banter to say to customers and more importantly what not, know when to push a little more costly wine with lunch or dinner, etc- end up earning less in tips than the dumb flirty slut with big tits and a coke habit who probably steals from the till.

That's why tipping is shit.

5.Doesn't bother me one bit. In Scotland everyone is on a liveable wage and don't get their tips taxed like in the US (or so I hear). Most people would tip 5% standard, more if it was deserved. At the end of the day it is the employers responsibility to pay a decent living wage, not the customers responsibility to subsidise their wage with tips.
Tips should be for good service and high standard of food. I have certainly walked out of a place without tipping in the past due to bad sercice and/or shitty food.

Generally close to 18% I normally would stick to 15% because this 20% is HORSE SHIT and it used to be 15% for great service, but I have a kid now, and while she's not a screamer who will bother everyone, she DOES make a mess, and I think that earns more tip money regardless of service because they have to clean that up. I do try and pick up most of the shit she chucks on the ground though. If the service is bad I will leave less, but I hardly ever get poor service, especially now since my kid is so cute, and waitresses (since they tend to be women of childbearing age) are pretty much hyponotized by her.
