I dont know about other countries but in Canada you are taxed on 8% of what you sold,that mean if someone leaves no tip at all you are actually paying for them to have come and drink/eat .
And the reason you need to tip is this kind of work is very hard in some ways,how many time you busted youre bartenders ears with youre pathetics problems and he or she listened and poured you another drink.
How many times did you tried all your lame ass pick up lines on the barmaid and she didnt slap youre sorry ass
How many time that cool bartender gave you free shots(and btw in most times they not from the house,they directly from the tip jar)
So coming from a part time bartender here tips are well deserved and if you think the person serving you did an ok job,spare a
buck more.

thank you!

I had a redneck say to me after ordering a 60 dollar round for his buddies and leaving me nothing "The only thing I tip is my hat and I aint wearing one"..I took his beers back, gave his money back and said "the only cocksucker I serve has tits and a nice ass and you have neither...SEE YA"

So tip you cheap mofo's
heheeh nice move you did on that redneck...

I know one thing for sure ..

Best tipper in the world: JoeE ..


besides that I am a very good tipper when I am back in Germany after staying in the states as tips are very low here and I am used to tip 20 - 30 % which is very uncommon here ..

So tip you cheap mofo's
I'm really glad you weren't my employee...because I can say YOU GO!

Can't tip? Can't dine or drink out. Stay home, cheap ass mo-fo.

In my experience, the phrase "Seperate checks" pretty much guarantees a bad tip, and it usually comes from middle-class, 20-something to 40-something, "professional" women.

But the absolute worst tippers are the post-fundie-religious-convention crowd (they like to leave fliers that say "Here's your tip - find Jesus.") and the post-theater dessert crowd (how I HATED them).

you guys are forgetting one thing the whole service compris of the french and simular systems work completely different then its done in the US

ask any guy from france or the uk, theyll tell you it says "a 15% service fee is added to your bill" and still you need to tip, thats fucking confusing how it works, you can pay it you can refuse to pay but then again its "not done" works differently everywhere, here in holland there are ppl who just dont tip nowhere and its allowed and accepted as well

Really? I thought it was generally understood that the service fee was the tip and additional tipping was not expected (in countries where that's the practice). Now I'm confused. My turn to get schooled!

If you can spare the extra dollar, then why not give it too?

I don't disagree; just want to know what the local custom is.

-----Can't say that it's nationality...it's more exposure to bar culture here in the US and occupation..

I knew a girl that bartended in London. Tipping is not done there.
Most Europeans may not be good tippers when they first get here, but I know many that are here for a while and they are incredible tippers.

Some old people do not tip well (I mean old, old). Years ago the standard was 10%. Some have not changed with the times.

It's all about the occupation and not the race or nationality. People that understand a hard days work---like construction workers, generally tip well.
People that think they are the fucking elite class, like doctors, generally tip poorly.

There are always exceptions, but this is true more often than not.

i bartended for 9 years mainly high volume clubs and some fine dinning to tiki bar places as well... Here's my 2 cents...

This is based on where i tended bar which was Fort Lauderdale and South beach florida.

Worst tippers:
the colleage crowd
the french cdn
the 2-4-1 chacering crowd
the convention crowd
Celebs, Athletes, ROCK STARS
the bar or restuarant owner(s)
AND my MOM

Best Tippers:
Drug Dealers
Bookies
lets just say ALL shady ppl tip well
NYer if they think you are hot
joee depending on his bi-polor mood, he would also fall under #3
adult industry peeps excluding the smaller content producers
peeps that work in the bar or restuarant biz
the gays and bisexuals
and some Rappers



I tip 20% at restuarants and more % on just drinks at a bar.

Oh and women tippers are way worse then men in general... actually most women are really fuckin cheap... god bless the women that do tip well...

Over the years I've had many friends who worked in the restaurant biz here in Florida, and I've heard huge amounts of complaints about Canadian tourists and their no or barely-anything tipping.

Ask anyone in the hospitality business of either restaraunts, hotels or amusement parks and they'll tell you that they hardly get any tips for europeans. I can't even recant how many waiters and waitresses I've heard this from my whole life. In the US, it's customary to tip 15% but there are lots of people like me that are crazy good tippers... Of course we have our share of cheap bastards, as any country would with 250+ mil people.

wooooohoooo!! i tip really well, 20% minimum. Even if the service is bad i still take care of them. I don't get any satisfaction out of stiffing someone, even if they deserved it.

You need to travel around a bit... In the US it is customary to tip certain percentages (not like MOST other countries). People in the US routinely tip 15 - 20% for eating out, very well for valet, etc. This is not the same in most of Europe. Americans are actually the best tippers because they are so used to it. We even tip when we are not supposed to tip - crazy

True, nigs don't work so how would they appreciate a hard days work. I guess that is why they tip shitty.
