<p>how much tip do you usually give? and what services do you tip?</p>
<p>My dad always said 16% minimum.</p>
<p>If you're on a date, at least 20%. ;)</p>
<p>About 15% usually...</p>
<p>15% is the standard gratuity, but if you liked the service, you can tip more. Tipping makes it look like you had a bad time or problems with the service.</p>
<p>As a former server, I'm usually closer to 20%</p>
<p>Realize that not tipping is not an option. Most servers only make 2.13/hr b/c their tips are supposed to make up the difference. Most servers assume they will make 15% and that's pretty much the standard. If you can't afford to tip your bartender or your server, then you can't afford to eat out. Stick to eating at home or fast food. If you can't tip a bartender while you're out, then go to the liquor store.</p>
<p>Finally if the service is not to your liking, tell the server (in a civil manner) that you aren't pleased. If you've done that, and still not seen an improvement, then you can ask to see the manager.</p>
<p>15-20% depending on service.</p>
<p>10% no more no less</p>
<p>Is 10% standard in Canada? I usually tip 15%-20% but sometimes more.. I hate it when I go out with friends and they hardly tip, it's so rude!</p>
<p>usually in between 15 and 20%...</p>
<p>I typically leave all the change on the table and than whatever seems to be the right number of bills for between 15 and 20.</p>
<p>~20%, just because it's the easiest to figure out. I round up the total, and divide by 5, and then usually round that up again the the nearest whole dollar.</p>
<p>Between 10 and 20 by moving the decimal point over 2 on the bill, and giving a number closer to 20% if service was good, or closer to 10% if not.</p>
<p>I do think that restaurants should pay the employees a decent wage and not accept tips. (I know prices would go up but it's easier) It's silly that it's the only industry that does on a regular basis that everyone uses.</p>
<p>I don't know why people would always give the same regardless of service. </p>
<p>I start with 20% and lower it to around 15% if the service isn't so good, but I have given more than 20% if the server is particularly good.</p>
<p>Standard service gets sales tax multiplied by 2. Better service gets higher, bad service gets less. Only two times has my server gotten 0 tip, and both times was at the same place. First time, the server never came by to refill drinks and never came by our table after giving us our food. Second time, the server was extremely rude to my friend. Insulting a customer is never a good way to make money.</p>
<p>15%, usually (in CA at least, that's tax times 2).</p>
<p>For better service, I'll give more. Though the last time I went out with a bunch of friends, we had really great service, but the tip was automatically added (18%). I'm kind of low on money at the moment, and it was an expensive meal, so I didn't tip any more. I felt bad, though, because I wanted to reward the servers. (I still tipped more than 15%, but since I didn't have a choice in the matter, it wasn't the same.)</p>
<p>If it's a fast food place, like Subway or something with a tip jar, I usually just give my change, unless the service was exceptional.</p>
<p>what are you po' college students doing tipping? we hardly have enough money haha</p>
<p>I come from a mom who was a waitress and a stepdad who was a furniture mover (both recieve tips) </p>
<p>so for pizza guys/waitresses, atleast $3 even if I only ordered a pop.</p>
<p>$1-10=$3
$11-20=$5
$20-30=$7-10</p>
<p>however, if I get crappy service, I am not ashamed to leave no tip whatsoever.</p>
<p>i've always wondered how much you tip delivery people
if they bring you a $10 pizza, do you leave 15%?
what about a huge $100 order for several people?</p>
<p>I'm not much of a pizza guy, but when I go to a sit-down place one of the following happens:</p>
<ol>
<li>If the bill is relatively low, everyone puts a buck in the middle of the table.</li>
<li>If I'm the one in charge, I actually calculate 15% in my head. I can do mental math, I'm not one of these calculator hostages.</li>
</ol>
<p>The only acceptable coin to leave is a quarter. Round up to the nearest one if you get some nickel and dime combo.</p>
<p>Never leave pennies unless the service was really bad. If the service was that bad, I find the shiniest penny in my pocket and leave it out smack in the middle of a one dollar bill so that instead of Washington, you see Lincoln looking up like "YOU NEED TO IMPROVE!!"</p>
