I tip 15 dollars to my pizza delivery guy that I order from each friday. Sometimes we'll share a bowl if he's packing any.

I suppose, I don't go to places but when I order food I always tip the delivery person rather well. This one dude is a real bro and always makes small talk with me. I tip the shit out of that nigga.

Yeah. I am a delivery guy myself so I know how it could brighten someone's day. I tip a shitload of I order food, less so if I'm at a restaurant, but I still tip okay at restaurants.

If the service was decent, depending on how nice the place is, I will always tip 15-20%. If they brought out one person's food before the other's I will not tip more than 15%. If I felt rushed, I will not tip more than 15%. If my glass was refilled without my asking I usually tip 20%. If it is a group of more than four and they remember who ordered what, I will tip 20%. If it is a group of 6+ I will tip 25%. I rarely tip more because the server made a joke, tried to chat me up, etc but I don't go under 15% unless the service was quite poor. Occasionally I will just sit down and have a tea or a coffee midday and not order any food, then I will tip $5 even if my bill is less than that because I don't want to be rude. I don't really order food in so I don't know the etiquete. When I stop by the chinese takeout near my house and pick up an order I will usually leave a couple of dollars in the jar as well.

You dislike people who don't want to read tipping thread #139032823, you assume that, if someone expresses that dislike, that they must only post in even worse threads, and then say that they have a psychological disorder whose behavioral symptoms in no way resemble their behaviors on display here?

No, where I live the minimum-wage for servers is the same as the minimum-wage for everyone else. If they literally write down my order, and carry the plate to my table, then minimum wage is a fair compensation for that. If I ask them to do something above and beyond that (like advice me on places to go in a city, to bring me a paper, etc) if I spill something, break a glass or cause extra stress for them, or if it's a cute girl and she goes out of her way to flirt with me or keep me company(I travel a lot, so I often eat alone) then I'll tip 5-10 euro I don't tip a percentage of the bill. I don't tip because it's the done thing. and I don't tip if you just do your job. I give my bin-men and my postman a bonus on Christmas because they have a shittest-of-the-shit tier job, and do it for next to nothing. I give homeless people free food because they have a genuinely shitty life. I'm not going to give you a reward just because you're lucky enough to have a relatively easy job and happen to earn minimum wage. If everyone did every job for a week, we wouldn't tip our waiters and waitresses (We would give them minimum wage instead). Instead we would tip our post-men, our butchers and our military.

I'm a cheap person so not really. But I do believe in tipping. I try to leave at least a couple bucks whenever I go out. I usually aim for above 10% but less than 15%. I'm poor, motherfucker! 15% is considered a pretty good tip anyway, more than acceptible. My rule of thumb is a dollar per five, not scaled (so one dollar on 9 but 2 on 10) plus whatever bitch change I have (nickels, dimes, a few quarters if I'm not taking the bus)

I refuse to tip. I disagree with it on principle. The restaurant/bar/whatever should pay their employees an appropriate wage. It is not my responsibility. Thankfully I don't live in the USA, where tipping, clapping and being fat are expected of you.

I tip if it gets me something. Tip the bartender well on the first drink, then they are usually more attentive and the drinks are stronger. tipping after a single transaction isn't an incentive like a tip before the next transaction. So tipping would be more effective if done prior to the transaction. If I get screwed over I don't come back. Otherwise I hardly ever tip.

I don't believe tipping should be an obligation, but I'm pretty generous with what's worth giving a little extra. If you can manage to do an ADEQUATE job, you've earned it. Just take my order, bring me my food on time (fair enough if it's the cook's fault though) and don't sneeze in my fucking starter. If you can manage to do that, I'll pay you 20% or five/ten dollars, whichever is most. Not rocket-surgery is it? If you can't manage that, then you don't deserve your paycheck, let-alone a bonus from the customer whose meal is marred by your sup-bar service. If you're rude to your customers and your bodily-fluid is decorating my main course, don't whine like an entitled child when I decide I want to spend my extra cash on renting a shit movie for when I get back instead of giving you an undeserved tip.

If a trained ape can do your job, than you don't deserve to make more than minimum wage. It's not my job to pay you, it's your bosses job. And if you don't like it you should get a new job.

you should follow whatever tipping standard is customary in your country. In the US, a lot of states allow restaurants to pay their employees 2.13 an hour, as long as they make at least the full minimum wage in tips. what a lot of people dont realize is that service industry jobs are very important to the economy because they create a class of people who, despite having no/little post-secondary education, can make a decent enough living to survive without being a burden on the welfare system. you also have a lot of students serving tables to pay for college, which is a boost to society as a whole. its also just how we do things in america. not tipping in america would be like going to japan and walking in everyone's houses with dirty shoes on. granted if your server is shitty/rude, you shouldnt feel obligated to tip them, they should be busting ass to earn it. and its not as easy as everyone thinks it is. once you learn its not overall that difficult, but serving is hard work, especially at a high-volume, fast-paced restaurant.
