Just had food delivered and my step dad gave me £40 to pay a £36 bill and I gave the guy the change and my step dads got a right sulk on over it

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

[Ant.]

I always tip. I remember I was feeling so hungry that I decided to get a burger from a local, quiet kebab shop. It's never busy and my meal was only £4 but I had a tenner so I decided to tip £6

he closed down a week after that i hope it wasn't financial related

[Ant.]

It's just not in me to not tip. I remember tipping £20 at a Pizza Hut because I was sat in there for a solid 3 hours and I felt bad for the staff (we were still buying stuff and whatnot but a group of 4 teenagers is always offputting lmao)

It was the change to be fair

[Barry.]

I usually say keep the change.

[Matthew.]

More often than not, I’ll tell them to keep the change

I would have done in your situation

Even if it’s a lot of change he owes you?

[bots]

never tip a delivery, never tip in an uber, only tip in a restaurant if service is not included and I have received exceptional service and great food

Not if it’s a lot, no, like if it was £10 or something then I wouldn’t

[Vicky.]

No, never even thought to do this tbh. only place I say keep the change is in taxis..and mainly as the drivers huff on while getting the change Will round up long journeys to the nearest tenner (like we went to south shields a few weeks badck and it was 34 quid so just gave 40) and shorter ones it depends what I have on me, generally just to the nearest quid unless they help bringing shopping in and that in which case i give more as thats them doing extra thats not their job really.

[Beso]

Don't need to.

[caprimint]

I'd never tip anyone ever

[Liam-]

Always

[Tony Montana]

Never have, likely never will.

There was one time I was with my friend in a restaurant and he left some money on the table I said "are you not gonna take that?" and he said he'd leave it as a tip. I told him "well if you don't want the money then I'll take it "

Nobody shall be caught tipping with me

You sound like one of my mates..if we go out in big groups for meals and that we tip (not in the likes of wetherspoons where you gave to pay at the till but..proper places) and one time, people had put their money and tips in, she counted what was there and said that she only had to add 2 quid (for a 50 quid bill) because there was 48 extra there...

Omg that'd actually be me

[JerseyWins]

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.

This is a bit much

[smudgie]

Not always if I use Just Eat.
Already pay for delivery and service charge.

[joeysteele]

Always do, yes
Unless I'm not happy with the service obviously.

[Calderyon]

No.

Tipping in Finland: 3 Must-know Facts about Finnish Tipping for Travelers

Tipping in Finland: 3 Must-know Facts about Finnish Tipping for Travelers

“How to do tipping in Finland?” is a question many travelers have. As a Finn, I’m happy to help you out with this one.
I have fantastic news which might surprise you! The basic tipping rule in Finland is that you never have to tip.

For the curious, let’s dive a little deeper into this Tipping Finland topic (doesn’t that just pop in your mouth!).

Introduction to Tipping in Finland

This week I was having a casual dinner in a restaurant with two international friends. After we paid, my friend took a ten euro banknote and placed it on the table.

I must have been quite a sight reaching out to that note lightning-fast and giving it back to my friend. My friends looked me in disbelief when I said that it isn’t customary to tip in Finland.

So yes, there is s utopia where you don’t have to tip and it’s called Finland!

For Finns, tipping is a foreign concept and not a part of Finnish service culture. There is no need to tip when in a restaurant, cafe, taxi or hotel.

If you have an appointment with a hairdresser or beautician, the situation is the same; nobody is expecting a tip from you.

In Finland, the price of the product or service has customer service (and taxes) always included. You never have to doubt this. You only see one price in Finland and that’s the total price including everything.

In my opinion, no tipping is just a positive thing. You can spend your money on more exciting stuff than adding up an extra 10-20% to everything.

On the other hand, if tipping is a part of your own culture and you are suffering from a compulsory disorder of always giving a tip, I have good news: it is not humiliating or rude to give a tip in Finland. It is just unusual.

My advice is that if you internally feel mandatory to tip, round up the end sum in a restaurant or a taxi. In other places, pay without any extras.

The topic of tipping often has conflicting information on the internet. I checked a couple of sites about tipping etiquette in Finland, and luckily, most information I found seemed accurate.

Some sites are advising leaving a tip at the hotel, and I sincerely don’t understand why. It’s not a Finnish custom, don’t do it.

You don't need to tip in Finnish restaurants

You don't need to tip in Finnish hotels

I have worked more than ten years in different customer service situations and never expected a tip when running after a client with his forgotten jacket or calling about a misplaced wallet.

I think that this kind of service is built-in for us Finns, a social and moral basis. Why would I want a monetary prize for doing the right thing?

If you are staying with a Finnish host, you should never leave money behind to pay for the ”host’s troubles.” That would be strange.

Same goes if you are renting a summer cottage. Of course, you should leave extra money if you broke something or leave the cabin in a complete state of mess, but that’s not tipping.

The only place to have somewhat regular tipping in Finland might be the line of a nightclub.

If you know the bouncer, you can cut the queue by giving a good tip when you enter or exit the bar. Bear in mind that this is done discreetly with a handshake and only by men!

Zero tips are a clever way to save money, right?
