ARE YOU A BIG TIPPER

How much do you usually tip a waiter or waitress?

I am...usually at least 20%. I think most people who waited tables at some point in their lives are good tippers, cause it takes them back to when they had to do it. (Unless the service was just obviously shitty)

Same here. My boyfriend was a server once, so he taught me how to tip well.

'bout 15%...10% was so much easier to calculate. confuse

Now I jus calculate 10, and "giv'em jus a little mo".
Thanks for the laughs, arguments and overall enjoyment for the last umpteen years. It's time for me to retire from Prince.org and engage in the real world...lol. Above all, I appreciated the talent Prince. You were one of a kind.

Hmmm, 10-20% depending on service. Someone I know just tips 3-5 dollars no matter what (well, if the service is bad, they don't give a tip)

If they deserve one. Sometimes places add it into the tab. But I tip fairly. A tip means they did something 'extra' for you and in return you tip them as a thank you. If you deserve one you get one, if not you don't. It should never be expected.

Yes I am a huge tipper...I was a waitress in college so I know what it is like. I leave nothing less then 50% even if you do a shitty job. Just cause I know what it is to do that job.

I never tip if I feel I have to, I tip at my own discretion, and that depends on the service, mood and atmosphere. The amount depends on how generous I am feeling at the time and which country I am in...

I tip at least 20 percent too...I've never waited tables, but know a lot of people who have and $2.52 an hour just doesn't cut it.

not in the States... here, wait staff is paid less than minimum wage ($2.02/hr when i did it), and the rest is made up of tips. i know that's different in Europe, but here, a waitress can't live off of the salary

The tip isn't "a little something extra" you give to your server when they go above and beyond their job for you.

The tip is just as much a part of your bill as the food itself. If you can't afford to tip, you shouldn't be going out to eat, period.

That is the server's wages. Servers don't go into work each day for free.

I tip alot only because I used to be a server, but 20% of your bill is the typical amount these days.

Also, keep in mind, from the money these servers make in tips each night, many have to give a portion of that to the bussers, bartenders, and food runners, as well, which can easily add up to a third of their earnings for that evening.
