Who do you tip?

wait staff at restaurants
delivery drivers, it's so weird how none of you have said them when it's pretty standard practice here. There's even a box where you can input a tip on some of the sites
hair dressers

Wait staff are generally paid far less than other members of staff working in a restaurant because the employer will generally assume that their wages will be made up from tips. Hence why you will generally get a good service in most cases as they need the tip, I know I normally need the tips which I why I always offer fantastic service.

yes but in America, do waiters/waitresses not depend on their tips and only get paid a couple dollars an hour? cause over here they get paid minimum wage and at my work, any tips they get has to be put in a jar then shared out between everyone

oh you said delivery drivers. nope, never heard of tipping them?? never thought about it.

i never tip xD am i a horrible person? Ill say thankyou but never tip someone

tip barber when i go and sometimes for takeaways if they don't take 17 hours.
i want to say i don't get americans who tip for everything but maybe that's just on tv/movies. how would they have any money left?

there's also a good scene in reservoir dogs about tipping watch it here :¬:

Restaurants and barber, sometimes taxis.

Usually restaurant staff

and this is why i hate my job a little bit

always tip food places, barbers, not sure I'm quite generous really? if i've been given a service yeah I'll tip

i work on a bar... i get tipped like crazy and i don't deserve it?? lol im already get an hourly wage so it's just an added bonus that i don't care about people giving me. i like my job, i aint there for the tips.

only restaurants and bars/pubs really. I used to tip my barber as well but my brother in law has a barber shop now so don't get charged obviously

I worked as a barman for 4 years and rarely got tipped, mainly because male. But always used to share a bar with 1 or 2 girls who used to get like 30 quid of tips a night and then that was shared

btw can't complain, but the amount of greasy lads that tip female bar staff to impress them is hilarious! I just tip them because I've been in their situation and it's awful
