For good work a tip is generous IMO
Nothing is free,but that is the problem with some,they always want something for nothing.
I put myself in there shoes and take care of them if they take care of me.
When my wife and I go to a nice dinner with a good service,we tip very well.

 

I tip according to the service I receive.
If I receive excellent service I tip 20%.
If I receive good service I tip 15%.
If I receive mediocre service I tip 10%.
If I receive poor service I tip 5%.
If I receive horrible service I don't leave a tip.

 

My wife always tells me I leave too much. I eat at the same places often and don't want to be known as a crappy tipper.

 

If you're eating at the same places often, you either really like the place/food/service or it's the only place in town. In the case that you actually like the food/service, the tip is warranted IMO. But it still sucks that you're paying to make up for his wages, instead of really rewarding the good service.

 

as long as my glass stays filled with drink. i leave a good tip.

if my glass goes empty , so does your tip!

 

This X100...

I will tip someone good money if I feel they worked harder than I did to get the money originally. I don't pity-tip.

I'm not going to give handouts just because its socially acceptable. I hate it when people say, "they are trying to support a family." Guess what? So am I, and I don't care a lick about their family. I really don't. Every dollar I give away is a dollar that can't go towards the people I love. Same thing applies to salesmen.

They can switch jobs if they need the money that bad.

I ended a date over this issue actually. The girl had the audacity to criticize the amount I tipped as I was paying the bill. I just said, "I think I need to take you home." She was a bartender. The most over-tipped people I can think of. A tip for opening my beer?...."Get a better job."

 

I definitely agree, and a lot of times they're very slow to even do that.

 

yeah and if you dont open a tab at the bar it gets real bad, leaving 75 cents per beer adds up to alotta tip compared to what I would leave at a restraunt
