I used to be a waiter, so I'm probably a bit biased, but I will always be a bit generous when I tip. 18% is my minimum (provided good service) and occasionally I'll go slightly over 20%. Then again being a waiter/waitress sucks hardcore. The job is stupidly stressful and people are not just rude but dumb as hell too. Dealing with customers felt like banging my head against a wall repeatedly, and I didn't even work in a big chain. Can only imagine how much worse it is there.

That being said, fuck tipping for takeout. It's not needed, and unless they went out of their way to help you or something I wouldn't bother.

18%, that's oddly specific. Do you like take out a calculator and a bag of change to make it work?

thats just some american standard for whatever reason (halfway between 15% and 20%, rounded up, I guess). Many restaurants have "for groups of X or more, an 18% gratuity is automatically added" to make it easier or something.

The thing those restaurants don't tell you is that its not mandatory for that gratuity to go to the wait staff. It often does, but its not required.

I have never pulled the trigger on leaving no tip and I'm not really sure I could be friends with someone who did that(American system of tipping of course). The waiter would need to do some amazingly terrible things to make me think they shouldn't be paid at all. It just seems like such an amazing dick move.

I can only think of one time where I didn't either leave a tip or someone else I was eating with didn't. We asked for a new server after the previous one muttered some very offensive things in ear shot about one of us, and didn't get one.

It would need to be something malicious like that. I would still give someone 15% if they spilled a drink on me, because shit happens.

Still, the UK system is better, where you just tip is service is really good.

I prefer leaving a tip so that the tip + the bill add up to a whole number. It's satisfying.

Also I try to tip well especially because I eat at a few places fairly often and so the service I get at those places tends to be really good.

I've almost never had a waiter so bad that I didn't tip at all, although I have had some terrible meals (ie Thai with half-frozen chicken in it) where I just talk to the manager and ask for a refund.

See there's another difference.

In Britain you don't do that! The horror! You keep your head down, eat what you can whilst grumbling to any dinner companions. If a member of staff asks how your meal is you look sheepish, nod and say "lovely, thank you" or words to that effect and carry on. If its actually inedible you leave it and make loud comments about how full you are and how wonderful it all is.

Then you leave the restaurant and make nasty remarks about it to all your friends. ;P


(Obviously just playing to stereotype here. In fairness we rarely have a meal bad enough to complain about around here. These days we're rather spoiled up in Liverpool, good restaurant scene now.)

This is the shit right here.

As for 18% it's pretty easy. 10% doubled and then round down. Unless you're eating somewhere extremely fancy that'll usually do it. I either do that or 10% x1.5 and then round up so that it makes a nice whole number.

Then again I'm a #oldman so who even knows anymore.
