Tipping question

If you had a Groupon... Do you tip considering the full amount or on what you pay after Groupon?

This is the second Groupon I used at a restaurant and both times the waitress comes back to thank us for tipping for the Full amount... Or even at all. Do people just don't tip at all if the Groupon covers it all?!

Re: Tipping question

  • I always tip off of the original amount. When I waitressed and someone brought in a coupon, more times than not they didn't tip on the original amount. Some people are crazy cheap.

    We always tip at least 20% regardless of how we pay. But I have had the same response from wait staff before. I think sometimes people dont realize that the discount doesnt include a tip. Either that or they are rude and never lived on tips.

    I always tip on the full amount. I think Groupons actually tell you to on the voucher. People are so cheap.

  • We tip on the full amount if I have a coupon. People are either cheap and/ or have NO common sense.

     

  • So glad we're not the only ones!! I was surprised the first time then after lunch today I was like wait... Why isn't this normal?!

    Jeff even noted her face dropped when I handed her the Groupon.

  • We always do on full amount too. And if we get free drinks or apps that weren't rung up I add more to the tip

  • Full amount! 20% or more depending on service or if I have cash and it's easier to tip a little more..
  • Full amount for sure!

    I've had a similar reaction from servers when we've used gift cards to pay, which I found extremely odd.
