What's your stance, and why?
The only argument I see for this is because they don't get paid much but, without sounding cold, that really isn't my problem. I don't want to spend 20% charity on essentially a randomer for doing the job they're paid to do. You also don't exactly slide some extra money to cashiers or any other service workers for doing their job, either, but wy is it expected for the above two industries? It might be more of an American thing, tbf.

In America it IS how the waiters get paid. They’re generally paid next to nothing by the employer. In the UK I’d only tip for genuinely exceptional service, personally. Taxi’s (as it’s very rare I’m in one these days) traditionally I’d have rounded up to the nearest full not (e.g. if it was £8 I’d just give them a tenner) but these days even “normal” (non-Uber) taxis generally take contactless payments so how do you even tip. |

….that said I’m not really paying it forward as I got some pretty decent tips when I was in customer service. A lot of gamblers think tipping the bookie is good luck or will get them special treatment.

There's the 'gratuity' option aswell on chip & pin ,even though we know it's mostly going back to the manager instead of the waiter/ s pocket . Last edited by GoldHeart; 15-05-2022 at 01:14 AM. |

I generally tip takeaway delivery drivers as they get paid so little, also round up taxi fares and tip waiting staff if they have been decent My beautician has a tips jar but it is her own business so I never tip her
