tipping. Do you tip?

[Autocon]

Do you tip people? waiters, deilvery drivers of fast food, taxis, hotels, bar staff?

What is expected and how much should you tip?

[LordCyrusOmega]

Sometimes. I'll tip taxi drivers by rounding up the fare mainly because they put up with a lot; driving people around all day, putting up with drunken idiots etc.
Tipping hospitality staff is another matter. As I work in hospitality I know how much the majority of waitstaff earn so it has to be for some first class service. Of course I've worked in jobs where the kitchen staff take a cut of the tips so I'm not against it.

In Australia it would be nice to tip workers, especially those that have earned it though it isn't necessary. In America though, tipping isn't technically necessary but not tipping is frowned upon as workers over there in most food places only make a mere few dollars an hour and rely on the tips.

When I've been dealt with great service at restaurants/cafes/shops I'll gladly tip but if it's anything below that I won't bother.

Sometimes but only sometimes. In a "keep the change" sort of way. Unless service has been out extraordinary. Never more than a few dollars.

I sometimes do, like when dinner turns out to be $97.35 or something like that, I'll give them $100 and say don't worry about the change. I'm usually pretty happy with the service at restaurants and that. Taxi Drivers as well, I will only tip if they are nice.

I normally leave a tip when I dine at a restaurant - generally somewhere between 5-10% of the total bill.

The only time that I don't is when the service has been below average, but all other circumstances, I still leave a tip.

Most other occasions like when I buy my coffee in the morning or when I get a pizza delivery, it's along the lines of 'keep the change'.

Taxi's and restaurant I do.

But not when the fare is exhorbitant compared to what I am used to. Meaning the driver used the most expensive route or went the long way.

In restaurant, US is usually 10-15% and I use around 10% for Oz. But when the service sucks, I may not tip.

In my native country, tipping isn't required. But if there's good service, I tip too but not when the bill already says service charge.
