Do you TIP people?
 

Do you like to tip in restaurants to show off or is it because you feel social pressure not to be a skinflint?

Do you tip taxi drivers for no apparent reason?

Do you like supplementing peoples wages in order that their bosses coin it in?


How do you feel about this odious pastime?

I tip taxi drivers usually to the nearest quid as its just easier. I tip more if they help me in with shopping and that though because tbh that isn't part of their job and its very helpful :shrug:

i tip baristas and waiter/resses yes
but its just a token of kindness and thanks

If I've had good service I tip.....if I haven't I don't....

I tip my hairdresser (a couple of quid extra)
Waiter/waitress (a couple of quid if service is good)
I used to buy the postie a bottle of wine for Christmas as he always left packages in a safe place.

I suppose i see it as good manners, and the wages used to be rubbish for hairdressers and waiters/waitresses, but now the minimum wage has come in, we're all in the same boat wage wise, so i suppose it is a bit daft to be tipping when someone is getting the same wage, i mean, carers don't get tipped do they? Or shop assistants etc.

I've tipped a few Traffic Wardens over the Multi-Story Car Park wall in my time. :hehe:

This exactly.

I don´t usually. But then again i don´t really eat at restaurants. And i don´t carry cash at hand anymore, so tipping would be quite... troublesome.

Also in Finland, tips are taxable income, so i´m not sure it would do any good to the getter.

I never tip unless I've received exceptional service (which is very rare anyway) or when I'm in another country where is expected.

I only tip when we've been out for food, and only if they've been really nice servers :)

Yes I do unless it's not been good service.

Waiters/Waitresses
Taxi Drivers (rarely use taxi's though)
Hairdresser
Nail Technician

And then any workmen, delivery men etc I give them either some cans of beer or a few quid.

Do you need any building work doing Josy? :laugh:

Yes.
Hairdresser, taxi, waitress etc.
Hardworking people on lower wages deserve a treat.

so you would tip a nurse, a shop assistant in say John Lewis, a postman or a air stewardess?

no

surely good service is expected?

:clap2:

No **** it, it's such an american thing that is completely unnecessary around here. like Vicky, the closest i'd get is paying the taxi lad to the nearest quid. if i was tipping in restaurants i'd be as well to tip people who serve me in Mcdonalds too



:clap1:

I love tipping, i think of it like charity. I think the government should give you a tax rebate for tipping just like they do for donating to charities.

sometimes, I never tip dominos who charge like £16 for one pizza, but taxis I do normally.

I tip my drivers, my waiters and drag queens.

Yes, i tip my sister not to wear blue because it makes her look chunky all the time.

I always say I will but I forget

I only tip my hairdressers and delivery people, everyone else can get paid by their bosses imo.

tip no one and let this vile tradition die on its arse
