    I don't tip. I don't believe in it.

      Depends on the place.

      A nice restaurant, 15-20%. A pseudo-fast food place (subs, deli sandwiches and th elike), 5-10%. Otherwise, nothing.

        I don't see how people can tip more than 10%. You guys must be rich. Or they don't take a lot for food and drinks in your country.

          Total comes to $25...

          10% = 2.50
          15% = 3.75

          yeah, we must be ****ing out of our gourds

            Waiters/waitresses are underpaid in this country, so it's customary to tip well.

              Don't even try that, there's no sense to it.

              Well orange, you said you go up to 30% and even more, that makes for a fair difference...

              I figure you guys must be rich as hell. And since you gain yoru riches on the expense of waitresses, you tip.

                30% for DELIVERY and then i'm only paying $5 for the food anyway (assuming I'm ordering in myself)

                  Are you getting all mad at me now, pal?

                  Let me check that 'delivery' thing first...

                      I get tipped a quid occasionally when helping old ladies carry compost to their automobiles. (as in thrice in 9 months...)

                      The rich old bloke who's gardening I do for an hour and a half a week gave me £15 after the first couple of months, at which I was utterly staggered. I nearly refused it point blank, but he insisted and he's rich.

                        Of course not, lest I be labeled an anti German

                        10% and 30% aren't a big deal when we're talking about the difference between 50 cents and a buck 50. That's all...

                          I worked for this guy who ran a ice cream shop that made no business, and in the winters he had Christmas trees for sale. They didn't sell too wll either, like one or two a day. One day he came by at the end of my shift, and asked if I got any tips. I told him we didn't even have any business, and he gave me fifty dollars cash to compensate for no tips.

                          Nice boss, and I've always wondered what side business he was running. I guess he was using the shop to launder money.
