I tip at restaurants with waiting service

The minimum wage is not that easy to live on I'd imagine, and every penny counts

Cherie 10-05-2019 08:12 PM

if its an uber eats type thing, I don't as I have paid for delivery :idc:

Alf 10-05-2019 09:34 PM

Depends on the service, and what mood I'm in, but I wouldn't give 4 quid to a take away, I'm with your step-dad on this one. Give him a high five from me.

Yeah not big tips but I tip like $3 for a delivery order (if it's like $17+). Usually $5-$10 at a restaurant split between the people I'm with if it comes out to anywhere around $100 total.

Thing is these days I tend to order off apps and pay on there, I very rarely have cash so don’t physically have anything to give them :(

Denver 10-05-2019 10:40 PM

I do aslong as I'm treated well,

I know in America you pretty much have to tip

Dogeatdog 10-05-2019 10:46 PM

I rarely tend to nowadays as I either order through apps or go out to collect.

Jake. 10-05-2019 10:59 PM

Eh, to the nearest pound, yeah. Nothing more

Livia 10-05-2019 11:17 PM

I tip delivery drivers. And a £4 tip for a £36 bill sounds close enough to 10%.

Is that nor normal? I always tip the delivery people even if it's only a pound

1. How much is the delivery fee
2. Its fine to tip if it your money

Josy 11-05-2019 01:26 AM

Yes always

I actually used to tip a fair bit, til I realised, the most thankless minimum wage jobs..well those don't get tipped do they? Like, nursing staff, people in care homes and the likes. And I would MUCH much rather be a waitress than work 12 hour shifts wiping peoples arses and being hit. I tend to tip more out of convenience than anything, as I said, nearest quid or whatever in taxis, and when its kind of..social pressure to do so like when out for meals in groups. But otherwise, it makes me feel..dodgy tbh.

Abroad I always tip though. Because I know they really really need it. Though managers and that tend to take it off them, greedy twats :bored: But in this country, so many are on minimum wage, so why single out a few (generally easy) jobs for special treatment really..

I didn't even know tipping delivery guys was a thing!? No never done it. :omgno:

Although saying that, the delivery is usually from the kebab shop about 2 minutes drive away so. Not a big company or an order that's done some mileage!!

Cal. 11-05-2019 08:01 AM

Yeah but I feel like that's because I've always worked in hospitality. Although I never expect tips in my job. I know some waiters/bar staff in other places expect tips and will be horrified when they don't get them.

I tip food delivery drivers, waiters, taxi drivers and my barber.

Cal. 11-05-2019 08:02 AM

I don't tip if they've pissed me off mind (this is usually more of a taxi driver and waiter thing though) but surely that goes without saying anyway.

Babayaro. 11-05-2019 09:26 AM

I rarely ever tip

Yeah, also I think people don't realise that there are a lot of restaurant jobs that aren't even on minimum wage (in London at least)

You would with me!

user104658 11-05-2019 11:02 AM

I can't remember the last time I paid in cash for a delivery so... no.

A taxi from town to my house is £9.70 and I always just give them the £10. So I feel like that's my tip quota fulfilled? :think:

In a restaurant, I'll tip for notably good service. Not "as standard". Again though I very rarely use cash anywhere and they don't always give the "add tip" option on the card readers :shrug:.
