Okay you cheap assholes, how much do you usually tip? - Page 4

**RealSNR** · 01:36 PM

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.

I won't argue that.

Delivered Pizza's while in college. Hated Stiffers but learned to deal with it. The rich people usually make up for it. Made a lot of money while delivering.

I usually tip two dollars for pizza and 10-25% in resteraunts depending on service.

I do have one complaint. I now see tip jars in places like starbucks. IMO someone getting me a cup of coffee doesn't need a tip. I even saw a tip jar at a Burger King drive through once. Threw my gum wrapper in that one.

I agree. I won't tip them.

I usually tip a buck or so at places where I get my own food - cafe's and buffets.

**cdcox** · 02-03-2007, 02:03 PM

Servers 15% - 20%, maybe a little more unless the service is poor in which case I might tip 10% or so.

Haircut $2
Taxi driver $2 or 10% whichever is greater
Hotel maid $2 per night if I stay more than one night.
Pizza guy $2-3

Demonpenz · 02-03-2007, 02:06 PM

i ususally don't tip because with gas prices so high I can barely put food on the table for my family let alone the servers.

NewChief · 02-03-2007, 02:07 PM

Drank for free in college most of the time due to knowing my bartenders. I usually tipped 75% of my estimated tab back then, unless I was broke, then sometimes I'd tip "normal."

Now I usually tip at least 20%, but I'll occasionally drop below if the service really sucks.

...yet you're eating out instead of cooking at home...

Demonpenz · 02-03-2007, 02:11 PM

well being poor doesn't mean I can't treat my wife and I a night out.

Maybe it should if you can't do it without hosing someone else.

That's because you don't have to tip at McDonald's.

The waitresses don't adjust the gas prices though. And they are working thier ass off for YOU.

I guess I am from a different era I believe in a firm handshake and a smile not dollar bills.
