Generally just a couple of quid, usually more if its a nicer place. Tipping doesn't seem to be that big of a thing over here. Plus I constantly hear stories of how all the tips are accumulated into a bit jar and the manager or owner gets to keep it and the waiters see naff all, dunno how true they actually are but it always deters me. If I have a brilliant waiter or waitress then I want them to get the tip, not the owner of the restaurant who was likely out playing golf at the time.
If its a taxi I generally just round it up, to the next pound, if its already a pound number... unlucky I guess, I probably should work on that, fumbling round for change drunk in a darkened taxi is awkward though.

Very infrequently, I think it's dumb. It's funny I've had 3 restaurant jobs and I love getting tips but I never understood why. Why should I get tipped?
Exactly, I worked in retail part time while I was at college, got paid minimum wage and no tips, their job isn't any harder, so fuck tipping, don't like it mr. waiter? get a better paying jobFlames66 said:
I don't, in britain people get paid to do the job they do, I'm already paying for the food, its a ridiculous notion to think that I should be giving them extra money just to do there job
Non tippers really infuriated me when I delivered pizza, if you're getting your pizza hot and fresh and I'm out there destroying my car I expect a tip.
The only person that really makes out in the deal is the restaurant owner, not having to pay the driver/server very much.

Hey no need to be rude, if waiters don'y like there wage ask for a raise or find another job, why should I be paying for them to do the job they where hired for?obscurumlux01 said:
We don't tip in Finland, people get paid enough and it is really complicated because of Laws and Taxes.
Lets see. I usually tip just aroooound.... Nothing. We dont tip in Denmark. Well, if I pay 95kr for two pizzas and I give him 100kr I dont care about the last 5kr and let him have it
EDIT: When I said "Let him have it", its nothing sexual... I'm not gay, no stop. Dont look at me like that *runs away*

The theory of "you're paid to do the job and that's it" makes sense, but that's not how it goes (in America anyway).
If you are a server and you have a single customer ordering a bowl of soup and that's it, and then a party of 8 people comes in and they order several courses, lots of drinks requiring refills....should the server not be compensated extra for the party of 8?

I usually tip around 10% of my bill, or maybe a little bit higher to round the bill to a neat number. For example, if my bill came out to $35.25, I might tip $4.75 to make it an even $40.
I also will usually increase or decrease my tip based on the quality of service I was given by the person. If I'm in a restaraunt and my waiter only comes around like twice (once to take the order and once to give the bill) and the place is obviously not all that busy then I'll usually tip even under my usual 10%.

I recently went to a restaurant that added a 10% tip onto the bill for me to pay.
Now, as the service was great I didn't mind paying, but what if they'd given shoddy service all night? Surely the staff in the restaurant should earn their tip, and not force it out of me.
