I usually tip 20-30%.

somewhere in the 60's my mom had to work as a waitress on the weekends to afford taking care of us kids, she was a teacher in the day. Once a truckdriver left her a $5 tip-a lot in those days. On the way home she stopped at the store and bought 2 boxes of breaded shrimp. That next day was the first time I had ever had shrimp, I loved it. I swore that someday I would sit down and eat all the shrimp I could in one sitting. When I grew up no waitress ever got less than a $5 tip no matter what I ordered. Yes, I am a big tipper.

Yes I am unless the service is truly bad.

I tip relative to the service received

At least 20 percent, every time. Tipping used to be an indicator of satisfaction, but I can't, in good conscience, add any less than 20 percent, and if I see they're being overworked, I add more. I've worked shitty-paying jobs. I know what it's like.

Yes, I always have been. Caveat -- not for very poor service. Bad food still gets the servers a tip and I talk to the manager.

I'm not crazy about tipping at self-service counters, but sometimes I will.

I am more concsious and a bit more generous with all of my tipping since I started driving for Uber part time.

I tip based on the serice I get. If i get good attentive service, than I tip well to encourage good attentive service.

My daughter recently told me that workers at Sonic, a fast-food restaurant with car service, are paid the tipping wage of $2.31. I'd never tipped fast food workers, because I expected they earned minimum wage, at least, and many of those employers don't allow their workers to accept tips. Made me feel sick... and terrible about all the trips through their drivethru window when I paid for my kids' cherry limeade with my debit card.

I'm an excellent tipper. I had servers and housekeeping stop me on the way out of restaurants and hotels to thank me for the tip. I appreciate how hard they work.

I eat alone a lot; so my bill is usually around $15. I also eat in the same small restaurants for the most part, and I know the wait staff well. I typically tip $5.00 on those small orders, and 30 percent otherwise. 20% really isn't much of a tip considering the restaurant minimum wage is $2.13 per hour.

I don't tip well if it's an establishment where they take orders and serve food at the counter/register and have a tip jar.

i usually tip more than 20% unless i have a reason not to... smallest tip i left was a penny...but that was when a steak was cold and the waiter said "unfortunately you'll have to pay for that steak".. so i thought to myself.. well unfortunately....

Yes! Usually 20% unless service was bad.

I've waited before so I like to think I'm a fair tipper..I do tip based on the service and certain things will result in a bad tip...First and foremost keeping my drink filled..Ive had places where I was never offered a refill and well that's how ya get a 2 dollar tip.

10 to 15% religiously !

Yes! Yeah it sucks that people have to tip because employers don't give us a living wage..but until they do, please tip us. Especially delivery drivers. The gas costs are usually higher than what they pay and we kinda..need to eat. Please. lol.

I used to deliver for jimmy johns (sandwiches for people who don't live near one). The average order was about $10, so the average tip is..$1. or less. It's really hard to live off of that. =(

Different culture here, tipping is not part of it, yes it does happen ocassionally. But as often as not tipping could cause offense.

Of course.

Do you mean at the strip club? ???

Actually yes I am, you're going to have to take my word for it though ??

I am, but I probably will never eat at a US restaurant again, to protest restaurant owners not paying their workers enough, so they have to beg it from customers.

I'm spoiled from living in countries where tipping isn't the custom.

I try to be when I am flush.
