Okay you cheap assholes, how much do you usually tip?
No poll will be included because of the many different instances that require different amounts.
How much do you give the pizza guy? How about the cute waitress at the truck stop? The waiter at a fine restaurant? A cheap hooker? An expensive hooker? How about your barber, or do you tip him/her at all? Do you have a flat rate (10%, 15%, no exceptions) and does it apply to all places where you would usually tip?
I can say that I delivered pizza in high school for a year, and after that I got a job at a Chinese restaurant and made deliveries there. I met some really cheap assholes. If their order were $19.98 they'd give me a 20 and ask for their two cents back. Luckily the Chinese place charged $1.50 for delivery, so I at least got SOME wage for my deliveries, but still. Those jobs made me appreciate spendy tippers. With the price of gas these days I always make sure I give the pizza guy at least $3.00 extra no matter the size of my order. If it's bad weather/late at night I'll go even further and chip in 4, 5, or 6 bucks sometimes.
At restaurants I usually tip according to quality of service. If the waitress/waiter is nice and timely, I'll make sure I give her at least 20%. If I'm eating with a larger group of people and we all have seperate orders, I'll give him/her at least $2.50 extra. Large groups are always tough at they deserve more than just a top off on the dollar. However, a couple times I've gotten extremely poor service, including an instance when the whore of a waitress made a huge deal out of the fact that I simply asked for an ice cream sundae when there were none on the menu. Really, how hard would that be to make? In those cases I tip exactly nothing and leave a note behind sharing my grievance.
