I don't tip. Don't believe in it. Bosses should pay more. It's not my responsibility to pay another man's worker.

Well you will if you want their service. :lol: One way or the other, you are paying their salaries whether it is directly or indirectly.

Nah, you just jet after you finish eating. They can't stop you. If they don't like it, they should unionize and strike for higher direct pay.

They do like tips though, or at least they should.

In Australia they pay is better than say America, so hell I dunno if they'd even need tips lol

“Oh Beautiful for smoggy skies, insecticided grain,
For strip-mined mountain's majesty above the asphalt plain.
America, America, man sheds his waste on thee,
And hides the pines with billboard signs, from sea to oily sea.”

Of course. Everyone likes free and absolutely undeserved money. ;-)

KiBa enjoys being disliked. It just means more results for his... tests.

But seriously, if you ever tried pullin that no tip bullshit on me, your body wouldn't have enough time to digest your food coz of the number of new freshly-ripped arseholes you'd have,desperate to shit something out.

Absolutely this. When I'm out getting drunk, I always tip so I'll get seen quick-ish by the staff next time I'm up there. Same as when I drove a taxi. The tight-fisted customers (mostly) got absolutely no help from me helping them with their shopping etc...

Also, WTF is the deal with tips going into a big jar in some places? Surely it's a personal thing tipping someone? If some youngster who's working evenings/weekends etc. serves me my food well enough, I'd like them to have the money, not for it to be divided between all parties? And thus making each individual strive to be better if they want more money going to them. If they've been REALLY good (and if I've also been drinking), I strongly hint at them to put it straight into their own pocket and bypass "the jar", but then I am a bit of a cunt like that sometimes.

In the States most waiters and waitresses only get money from the tips of the customers, so over here it's much more necessary. I think the tips in England are already added into the bill, aren't they?

In the places that I go (i.e. not fancy ones) it's usually the bill then whatever you wanna put on top of that. There is a minimum wage here, so they're getting at least that, although the taxi job I had was technically "self employed", where those rules don't apply.
