You didn't tip for X in 2003 or 2013 -- should you tip for X in 2023? (1 Viewer)

I get around tipping by not eating out. I don’t tip at a retail outlet.
 
not a bad rule


I will usually tip a little, especially if i sit down to eat. But if i get it to go, i do less, unless its a large or complicated order. but i always tip regardless if i'm using the work card...

I'm just glad McD and other fast food places have't gone to that.
 
One of the many great things about living in New Zealand is NO TIPPING anywhere anytime!
Although, the service staff in tourist hotspots make a killing on clueless tourists that don’t know the custom and tip anyway. $25 per hour wages plus 20% tips on very expensive meals makes these jobs quite lucrative.
 

but yet that person is the first one to blame the server if any of the above is an issue..
not cooked right, servers fault. out of an item on the menu, servers fault, taste different than last time, servers fault, the buisness is run bad and coordination is poor, servers fault..
I tip at sit down and order places better than i do places where you order at the counter.

I got food from Spectacular Tubers for pick up, i was getting lunch of the 4 people who work under me, so 5 orders all together. Was there as soon as they unlocked the door. But only one employee was there. she took the big order, cooked all the food and brought it all out to us. also while taking a couple other orders and answering the phone. she was hustling. so she deserved a more than just a few dollar tip that i would normally do for to go order. i tipped her 15%.

But i am not tipping for someone to hand me a pretzel out of the warmer box...
 
last week i saw a machine where tipping started at 28%

28%, 32% or 35%

getting out of control
