I dont feel guilty at all. Its not like they are working for only the tips(edit. which I think is why people tend to tip more abroad, some ARE working for only the tips)...they do get a set wage too. If you want extra, be good at your job.

The worst is tipping taxi drivers

i mean come on, all they do is sit on their arse and drive

lol

I do that just out of convenience.

I hate sitting waiting for change while they huff and puff on as if you are asking them for money from their own pocket, and they take ages too :rolleyes:

Plus I only ever get a taxi usually if I have a load of shopping. And they always bring it to my door :)

LOL yeah I usually say keep the change to taxi drivers for the same reason

You win at life.

Yes he has a great point
You do not have to tip

Actually being a Taxi driver is not that easy, it's really tiring driving all day/night plus you have to deal drunken morons too

welcome to working for a living. we all have tough jobs.

arista aside

you lose at sarcasm

I never tip unless they have been particularly amazing or nice. But in a cab (in Singapore) if I'm in a hurry I quite often say keep the change but thats only when its less than 60cents (30p)

I despise tipping. Why should I pay you extra to do a job that YOU ARE getting paid to do?

Another thing that bothers me is to tip more just because the food is $50 instead of say $20. It Didn't cause the waitress/waiter to work any harder, but he/she makes more since the 15% of $50 is more than 15% of $20. Just absolutely ridiculous.

I don't :tongue:

He did tip in the end :nono:

Also I know that with waiters and waitresses they get a lower wage and get taxed for tips but is that the same with delivery men? Because I was thinking how we normally tip the guy who brings the pizzas which is odd really because it's a pretty hard job to be bad at

Yeah I dont quite understand this either tbh.

Never had a pizza delivered almost cold / took way too long / half of its toppings piled up in the corner of the box.

Hmm not really, I've had the wrong pizza before but that's not the delivery guys fault and one time he did take ages but that's because I gave him the wrong address :laugh: Plus we usually tip him before taking the pizzas out the boxes so we wouldn't know if they were too cold or had the toppings all over the place

I've had the 'taken ages and it's not piping hot' situ - like you, I tip before opening but you can be sure that next time that person delivers - he /she gets nada.

Oh bugger... I knew there was something I should be doing this afternoon.

Livia we all know that you have someone looking after the parlour for you on Friday's - all that PVC plays havoc with your skin Monday to Thursday

It's a dirty job, but someone's got to do it.

*insert noise of whip crack*

My tip would be dont eat yellow snow.:joker::devil:

I only tip if the service is good and the waiter is ugly because people (my friends) only tip when the waiter is obviously an unemployed model/actor/singer/dancer and I know they're not the only ones who do that so I feel bad for the unattractive ones. :''(
