The waiters and busboys get paid for the service they render through your tip. (READ: Bringing you food, wiping down your table, making sure you have everything you want)Does it? Our food is pretty cheap. If I go out to lunch with my gf, we spend maybe $8-$15 on food. That's about $9-$18. (Then again, there is even cheaper food than that.)i mean if the meal costs the same as a similar place say in Britain or parts of europe
what kinda food are we talking here high quality or just a pub?Hafrael said:Does it? Our food is pretty cheap. If I go out to lunch with my gf, we spend maybe $8-$15 on food. That's about $9-$18. (Then again, there is even cheaper food than that.)
Somewhere in between. Not fancy, but definitely a nice meal.Boundless Apathy said:what kinda food are we talking here high quality or just a pub?Hafrael said:Does it? Our food is pretty cheap.

where exactly in america do you live? i live in pennsylvania and while you dont technically HAVE to tip, its a pretty big dick move if you dont. and $5? depends on how much you ordered. i mean if i order $20 worth of food, ill tip around 4 or 5, but i would not consider $5 to be a lot, if you order a lot of food. i mean if you order like $50 worth of food, i would hope you would tip more than 5TehCookie said:Where I live (in America) you don't have to tip pizza deliveries, or if you do $5 is considered a lot. Then again when my brother worked in the city as one he always got large tips so I guess it all depends on where you live.
Naw, more like hot sandwich, soup, and fries. For both of us. Comes out at around $9-$10.Boundless Apathy said:so what we talking steak dinner or something cause i've had a nice steak for about 5quid
the only way i can continue this conversation now is asking about food seeing as i've never tried dim sum... although for a chinese that's about the same priceHafrael said:Naw, more like hot sandwich, soup, and fries.

Or dim sum, at a really nice place. 5-7 plates of dumplings for about $12-$20
Well Dim Sum is just dumplings. They bring by plates of 3-5 dumplings on these little carts and you pick. Or you choose from a menu with pictures.Boundless Apathy said:the only way i can continue this conversation now is asking about food seeing as i've never tried dim sum... although for a chinese that's about the same priceHafrael said:Naw, more like hot sandwich, soup, and fries.
