Poll: about tips

Do you always tip your waiter or waitress, or does it depend on service?

I USUALLY tip, but will tip considerably more for excellent service. I won't say always, because if you piss me off enough, I won't. It takes quite a bit to really make me that dissatisfied though.

Re: Poll: about tips

  • I always tip! Mostly always 20%, but if it is bad service, then it is 10-15%.

  • I always, always tip everybody - servers, (food) delivery guys, cab drivers, people who helped us with bags/wheelchair in the airport recently.

    I will tip less for terrible service, but that really hasn't happen anywhere that I didn't already expect the service to suck ass because of the nature of the place.

  • I always tip 20%. I've never had service so bad that I've given less, but it's not out of the question, I guess.

    ETA: I have tipped more for really excellent service, though.

  • I always tip, and consider myself a good tipper.  I've personally never had a waiter or waitress piss me off enough where I wouldn't consider leaving a tip.

    I do have a problem with all the tip jars that are popping up all over the place though.  It just seems that every food place you go to now has one. 

  • The least amount I would tip someone is 15%. I always tip 20% though otherwise. I am not even sure the last time I tipped 15%. OH - yes I do. When the last hairstylist gave me pubic curls for "bangs".

     

  • I always tip waiters/esses. If their service is horrible, a couple of dollars regardless of the ticket. Great service is definitely rewarded!

    I understand that they make a low hourly wage, but just like anything else, you have to work for your money!

  • I always tip now. If the service sucks, I don't hesitate to leave spare change so they know how I thought about their service.

  • Depends on the service.

    if they suck (I mean awful!) my "Tip" will be an actual tip. i.e. - "Instead of talking to your friends at the bar, you should pay attention to your paying customers"

    if they were fine I double the tax (unless alcohol was involved)

    if they were amazing, I tip based on what i have. There have been times where I tipped $20 on a $25 meal

  • I always tip, especially with bad service. A low tip speaks better than no tip--no tip and the server might assume you just forgot.

  • I always tip, even if it is bad service as long as I eventually get my food.

    There have been times when we've walked out after getting drinks because no one came back to take our order for another 20 minutes or so.

  • Yes, I always tip. I can't recall the last time I had bad service, but having worked enough service jobs, I know relying on tips sucks. I would never leave no tip or a very small tip; I think it is rude.

  • I always tip...usually 20% including tax.  And no less than $2.
    Damn you Nest for screwing up my siggy!

  • I think there have been a handful of times when I left a penny tip (never just no tip because I didn't want them to think that I simply forgot) when the service was truly appalling. Other than that, I always tip.
  • I've never not tipped. Usually if the service isn't good and it's actually the waiter/waitress's fault, I'll go 15%---less if it's REALLY bad for some reason. 

    Usually I tip 18% for average service, and 20% if they're good. If they're somehow outstanding I'd go a little higher.

    I love the tip calculator on my phone!

  • I always leave a tip. If the service was out of control bad then I'd leave a crappy tip but I think that's only happened to me once or twice.

  • I always tip even if the service is bad. I will tip less if the service is horrible, though.

    This.

  • The only time I haven't left a tip was because the waitress was terrible, didn't stop by, didn't refill, we waited forever and then she LEFT. Like ended her shift, and didn't notify anyone. I had to go ask some other girl who had no idea we had just been abandoned. I gave the waitress who helped me a tip, but definitely didn't leave anything for the original.

    Otherwise, I always tip 15-20%. More if it's awesome service.
