"Jobs in the service industry like waiters and waitresses are paid a minimum wage. To make up a decent wage these people rely on tips. " I worked in a well known Italian restaurant in the city centre before minimum wage, I worked 50 hours a week and my take home pay was £145, my rent at the time was £340 council tax was about £90. If I hadn't had my tips I wouldn't have been able to survive K x | |||

"There was one of these tv chefs shamed recently as it turned out that all the tips were kept by him as an extra income stream. Seems if you pay by card at a restaurant and add a gratuity at that time there is a fair chance that the staff will not get it. " Most people ask if the staff get the tip, I know I do, i always leave it in cash anyway K x | |||

"We don't have a tipping culture in the UK, because jobs when listed have a salary or rate against them, and tips are a bonus. In the USA any salary generally includes tips, so people are working for lower rates of pay and have to work to earn the tips. Personally I always tip in any eating establishment where you're presented a bill at the end (10%) and I always give any takeaway delivery driver a tip too, as the delivery cost is normally all they get. Mandy " my mate works full time but does chinese deliveries 3 nights a week. makes a mint from the delivery charges, plus gets a free meal per shift, so he just saves them and gets a free chinese for the family at the weekend. win. | |||

"malmaison to name but one keeps staff tips to cover breakages and damages" I've worked places where they've tried to do similar, I would refuse. Tips have nothing to do with owners, I would just remind them of this K x | |||

Between the window cleaner, 4 teachers and now the bin cleaner guy, Christmas costs keep rising. | |||

"I always tip! KFC etc you get your food flung at you. If I go to a nice restaurant and the staff go out of their way to make your visit an experience then yes I believe you you should tip. If I go and they take my order and serve my food with no interaction then I wouldn't tip (this would be them just doing their job) As for the service charge on large parties this is mainly because that one member of staff has to look after you for your visit and if there's a lot of you they're looking after only you. Restaurants can't afford one member of staff per table they'd go out of business. K x" Definitely this if service is good | |||

All these people are "just doing their job" but don't get tips Don't think any of the above are on minimum wage? K x" Checkout staff will be for sure ... probably street sweepers too i would imagine I guess the perceived difference if when you go out for food / drinks/ beauty or hair treatments you are treating yourself ... so if the person helps to make that experience nicer then they would get a tip ... i never feel like its a treat when i go to the supermarket | |||

Most of these types of jobs don't differentiate on age whereas the restaurant/pub industry do. So a 21 year old doing the same job as a 26 year old is on a much lower rate, which in my opinion is b/s as they do he same job Kx | |||

"Why do I tip a taxi driver but not an uber driver? When I was a student I worked almost exclusively in bars. I am prone to over tip as a consequence. Why do you tip a taxi driver and not an über driver?" Because with a taxi driver you are handing over money. It would be embarrassing to hand a pound or two to an uber driver. It almost feels condescending. At least with a taxi driver just make it up to x... it is as if you are making the maths easier... lol | |||

"In America, it seems socially mandatory. Here, some cheeky restaurants include a service charge. Why do we not pay a tip in McDonalds/KFC or Nandos but seem to have to everywhere else? What's are your thoughts? Always tip? And how much?" I tip dependant on the service I get. If it's good service, bit of banter etc then I tip. If they look bored and uninterested and as much use as a chocolate fireguard then no tip. | |||
