    How much do you tip in restaurants ?

    We are off to Sicily end of this month where the expected tip is 10% ( and in Sicily we really don't want to get it wrong)

    we always tip here in UK for good service ONLY if its bad we don't and make our reasons clear

    do you tip and whats the biggest tip you made?

            I tip about 20% consistently though I'm also not afraid to leave a penny when I get shitty service.

                Biggest tip we ever gave was £250 but that was to a doorman to have someone thrown out the back door at Stringfellows

                  I tip about 10% or so if the service was good. Alot of times the waitress will totally forget about us and take like 20 minutes to bring me a beer in a nearly empty restaurant. In those cases I dont tip at all

                    I always tip more that expected. Living in Vegas you realize that this is how service industry people make their money. Most get minimum wage + tips.

                      10 - 15% over here.

                      I'd never tip 50%.
                      I'm just a newbie.

                        20-25% if service was good, 15% if it wasnt so good, and 10% if it sucked complete balls

                        at bars if i have a pocket full of money i tip upto 50% sometimes

                          I think its wrong to have to rely on tips to make your wage...

                            i really only eat at the resturant i manage, so i really don't tip much... but if i eat out and the resturant is good, ill tip a few dollars, not a % of my bill, because that usually equals less then a few dollars

                                  20 percent standard, more if they really hook me up.

                                    15-20% is normal for me
                                    The most I have ever gave is 50%

                                      15-25% in the US, unless the service is complete shit (then it's nothing).

                                      I usually round up to an amount that won't leave me with a wallet full of coins here in Germany. You're not expected to tip here, so the waiters/waitresses are greatful when you tip at all. Hah, my grandpa always pays the exact amount, even down to the cent.

                                          15-20% depends on where i am and how good the service was.

                                            In every country the waiters expect tips. Their normal wage is not big.

                                                I think $1 plus $1 per person is fair.

                                                    20% if they take the time to make sure everything is topped off... 10% is standard if they just bring you your food... and if they have a crummy attitude then nothing. If they joke around then 25%

                                                        15-20%.. sometimes less, sometimes more. Depends on the amount of the bill, if it's a small bill and I have coins that are like 5-10% I'll just leave those, and feel slightly bad. I'm not leaving 50% or such unless I've caused them stress or been a pain in the ass, never have so far.
                                                        ..and I'm off.

                                                            Bad or poor service I never tip. I do not care if that is how they make most of their money either. If you are doing a job that is based off of customer service then make sure you serve the customer. I am not about to reward anyone for lousy service.
                                                            If it is good service then 15%
                                                            If the service is excellent then 20-25%

                                                                    That's their problem though, and the customer shouldn't have to pick up the bill to cover their wages. Paying for your meal or whatever is enough. A tip should always be at the customers own choice.

                                                                    I hardly ever tip here. The service normally sucks.

If you want to earn more or get rewards you should go above and beyond what your duty entails. If you desire to just get by, then you made that choice not me and you can get by on what you earn as well.

                                                                                        Well, they probably don't expect it anymore when they're never tipped. Waiters here in Germany are generally assholes because they know they probably won't get tipped either... and this usually results in them not getting tipped. When I have someone nice waiting on me, I tip them and they're usually very happy about that. I don't think the waiters here live off of tips, otherwise they'd be nicer in general and try to earn those tips...

If the service is slow or the waitstaff is rude or the order is wrong, I will leave anything from no tip to a slightly penalized tip. Waitstaff that really goes out of thier way, I have left as much as a 100% and sometimes more tip.

                                                                                          I dont tip for the sake of tipping and I wont tip if the resturant adds a tip onto the bill (same with pizza places that charge a "delivery fee", that money goes directly to the driver [except for maybe $0.50 or so] so thats my tip when they pull that shit).
