I tip occasionally if the server has gone above and beyond duty or something (or when I get embarrassed by the amount of mess the kids leave). For just serving me? No way.

People say oh waitressing and such is so hard work they deserve tips. Well...many other jobs in society are a lot harder than waitressing and they get no tips? Cleaner and carer for example.

I don't remember where it was, but when we went to Leeds recently we went to some restaurant where they added 15% tip onto the actual bill? Cheeky ****s. Luckily I was with family so didn't want to make a fuss, and father in law was paying anyway or I would have fought against that on pure principle (nevermind the fact that this server we had to tip dropped a pint on my friends dress)

Tipping is not really a thing in the UK, or shouldn't be given everyone gets a 'fair' wage. In the likes of America where wages are peanuts and the workers wages are made up almost entirely of tips, then fair enough.
