I always tip way more then needed probably 25% on average. But when I see large party gratuity for a group of five I always tell my self "they fucked up right there"
Who doesn't tip?

My wife gets tips and she's a clerk at a gas station. Tipping a pretty lady is another way of complimenting her.
I don't go out much but when I do I'm a generous tipper if it's deserved.

If you cannot afford to tip, you probably cannot afford to go eat out. Many people in the industry are kids, who spend their daily earnings on partying that night. When you see an older server, they are likely a pro, and earn around $60k a year, most of which is tax free cashola, so really, about $70k. Think about that the next time you think you are better than them.
I mean, really, do you really want someone making minimum wage serving you and your food? Would you hire a minimum wage attorney to defend you? Would you go to a minimum wage doctor? What kind of servie do you think they would give you?

That doesn't sound to bad if the average customer will tip 20%, I've never really given much thought to tipping before, don't misunderstand me I always leave a tip as long as the service was good but with it not being a big thing here it's something I generally have to think about, the only people I really tip is waitresses and food delivery drivers.
oh yeah and the young lad that used to deliver our weekly paper, it should have been a pound and we'd give him a fiver (5 pound note) and he would look like he had struck it rich lol

This sounds much more honourable! I couldn't imagine how bad I would feel if I had employees and they weren't even making the minimum whilst working the hardest.

If the waitress/waiter does a good job serving, she will definitely get a tip.
If he/she has not done a good job, well you can kick rocks on the tip.
If the food is good I will definitely pay for it.
If the food is bad, or I find one hair in it, well they can kick rocks on the bill too.
I have definitely walked out of restaurants because the food/service has been bad. I have even taken my dinner plate with me while flipping off staff.
Good stuff, I think I'll go out to eat now.

I have eaten out more times than I can remember and always tip unless my misses or myself is spoken to or treated rudely.
I would never dismiss anyone or their job and don't appreciate you implying I would! I stated that I couldn't do it and that I have respect for those that can because I couldn't! I was not being a dick and if I put anybody down for this situation it was the employers and the government, never the employee like I said I believe in a hard days work for a hard days pay not work your ass off and have your wages made up at the whim of others! you sir might want to stop acting like a dick or go back and read!

I'm getting a bit pissed off here, Am I missing something? how is expecting a worker who works hard to be paid fairly ignorant? A hard days work for a hard days pay means you work hard you get paid for it regardless!!! not at the whim of others, which I believe to be unfair!

i got a tattoo while i was in spain.. normally in the us, i'd tip my artist a good $50- $100 depending on how much the tatt costs and how long the worked on it, etc, etc.
now my tatt was like $400 euro or so i think, and i was trying to give my artist another 80 on top of it, and he simply refused it.. i was shocked.. then when the owner rang me up, i tried to leave the money again for the guy but the cashier lady told me that he refused it again...
it seems that tipping is taken much differently depending on where in the world you are..

Yeah, same in China. It's actually considered rude to tip people in China. They apparently view it as you thinking the relationship is purely a financial one.
