I agree with Mr. Pink. I especially hate how they expect a certain percentage. It's like another tax. Why should the waiter who carried out an expensive plate of food get more tip than the waiter who carried out a cheap plate of food? They both did the same thing. I agree with that...but I end up tipping at the expensive restaurant right at the percentage...~10, but at the cheaper restaurant I usually tip higher...20 or even a little more. Not saying that as if all should feel like doing what I do. But my "strategy" of giving charity includes giving money directly to people in need, like on the street. And I reason that if I'm willing to give a guy on the street some money just because he looks like he needs it, why shouldn't I err on the "up" side for someone who's working..ie give the wait help a bit more? It's just an extension of how I choose to be generous. |

I never tip i mean why should i ?
Waiters in Norway makes on average 25 900 NOK a month (Which is about 3000 USD a month)
But if i am in a country where tipping is what they do i will tip what is normal in that country.
I neither agree or disagree with Mr. Pink.

PS; Going through this thread, I see the divide being US citizen or not. If you are a US citizen, and you have to 'carefully analyze' how your service was? You are a grade A asshole, who has never had to hustle for a living. And if you have had to hustle? And someone needs to blow you to get consideration? You're in a category far above 'Grade A' asshole. I believe every last one of you deserves to 'have to' wait tables, drive cabs, clean hotel rooms, move furniture, etc. For minimum wage. I'll bet your opinion changes then. For Europeans, read this. |

I tip 15% for good service, 10%-0% for bad service (especially surly. If I ask for one thing and I get a pissy face or a sigh, tip is kaput). 20% for exceptional service. No more that 20%, a waitress wants more, she's going to have to dance naked on my table and detail my car. And I tip 10% for take out. It goes to kitchen staff.

I tip begrudgingly. It should be the business's job to adequately pay their employees, not the customer. Ideally, I'd be tipping if someone really deserved it, not filling a missing quotient on their paycheck. But until that changes, they need it and I have empathy. Unless they got an attitude, then f**k em.
