Current Events > Would you say tipping 15% in restaurants is fair?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I typically do 20% as a standard but my wife is trying to push me to 15%

i tipped based on service. They gotta earn it.

I dont tip, Im boycotting until they get paid a fair wage

I do 20% unless there is a big reason to go higher or lower.

The bar I go to comedy shows at twice a week has no default option lower than 18%.

Fuck outta here with that crap. I didn't come with 8 people. 10 percent used to be fine. Yes I mad.

this is typically what I do and I rarely go outside of 20%

I was brought up with the norm being 15%, give or take depending on quality of service.

It's also simple. Move the decimal, multiply by 2.

I never tip, usually it's expensive enough already (also not from the US)

So, you protest the underpayment of employees, by contributing to their underpayment?
Edit: Or, do you mean you are boycotting by not eating out?

I do 30%

So stunning. So brave.

No it isnt fair but most of the US happily pays the coercion tax: Tip me or I'll spit in your food and/or bully you for not giving me extra money.

I just don't eat out any more. Shits expensive and tip culture is annoying as fuck.

15% for decent and 20% for great.

I tip based on a more realistic model. If the service was good, I'll give you a few bucks or something.

However the whole % based model just doesn't work. 15%, yet so many people think they're doing the "right thing" by tipping 20, 25, up to 50%. I eat out enough to know when I'm by myself, you're taking my order, bringing me my drink, bringing me my food, and maybe refilling my cup once.

Doesn't matter if I order some $15 week night special, or if I treat myself and spend $50, the service I get remains the same. Why in the world would I give one person 2.25, and the other 7.50 for doing the same amount of work?

It's just another dated concept everyone is too lazy to get away from.

Depends on service and how drunk/generous I get.

0% tipping is fair. Its unreasonable to expect a tip. Employees pay should be factored into the price of the meal

20% or more

always

P much this

If the bill is small like (30-40) ill do 25. If its 50 or higher ill do 15, especially if they just do the minimum work.

I never eat out, so not sure exactly how much I'd tip there.

For delivery, I tip $5. Nothing more or less, regardless of how much the order cost.

I just hate the "tip begging" that is widespread these days. I get take out and drive to the restaurant to pick up my food, why would I tip 20%????

I tip for dine-in restaurants, dog grooming, barbers, the people who wash my car, and occasionally delivery people. Oh, and valet but It's been years since I've been somewhere fancy like that.

I see tc is taking a break from their usual troll topics about poor people to dip into the tipping on CE well

I don't tip, as its expensive as is, and Canadian servers make hourly. But it does lead me to one of my favorite Triumph the insult comic dog bits: Starts at 4:10

Depends on the service.

I tip anywhere between 0-20% based on that

Tipping isnt normal here.

Here's a little hint: we make more from tips than we would from your so-called "fair" wage

I'll tip 10% and you'll just have to deal with it.

Fair wage is pretty vague. Whats a fair wage to you? Because a decent waitress or waiter banks $50-100 in tips a night, does this fair wage trump that? Doubtful.

no i dont tip eating out is too expensive these days to spend extra money for someone who takes my order and gets me my check

The option wouldnt exist in an ideal world
