PP1 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 The wife and I argued about this earlier. How much do you tip... Pizza Delivery: 2 dollars and whatever the coin change is Waiter: 20% of the bill before taxes. If service is terrible, it drops to 10-12% Reds Usher: I try to avoid them but if I can't, then a dollar. Reds concession vendors: I do not tip them. Chinese Buffet: Maybe a dollar. It is a buffet where I serve myself. The tip bucket at chipotle/starbucks/subway/Mccallisters/ect: I do not tip them. Restaurant Host or Hostess: I tip them nothing. Appliance Delivery and assembly: I tip them about 15 dollars. This is where the wife and I disagree, she says you're not supposed to tip them because they live off a wage and not tips.

spindoc Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 I agree with most of these. What about valets? what do you give them or do you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PP1 Posted August 12, 2017 Author Share Posted August 12, 2017 I agree with most of these. What about valets? what do you give them or do you? Paying to park is a pet peeve. I'd rather walk an extra half mile then pay someone to park my car. But if I had not choice. I guess 2 dollars is fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beechwoodfan Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 I tip my pizza delivery guy 20%. Valets are $5.00 Appliance assembly guys...never occurred to me that I was supposed to do that. I always worry when you go to one of those restaurants where you stand in line to order something, take a number, then sit and wait for them to bring the food to you. Are you supposed to tip them?

HammerTime Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 I give my pizza guys/gals $5. Restaurants start at 20% and occasionally I'll do 25% on good service. Reds usher $1 or $2 if it's raining otherwise I try to avoid them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True blue (and gold) Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 I can't imagine tipping less than 20% at a restaurant. I always round up. Servers live off of their tips. Food delivery: usually $5 Salon service: $10 I don't tip furniture/appliance delivery, unless they do something extra for me. I don't tin for pizza when I pick it up, or any fast food place.

Jim Schue Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Unless you see something that says on your bill that the gratuity is included, please tip. For those of us in that line of work, it means a lot. And if you're British, Scottish, Irish, Welsh, Austraiian, New Zealand or South African, please understand that we do things differently in this country. Servers don't make minimum wage here.

rjs4470 Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Pizza/food delivery guys get 20% from me. Wait staff gets at least 20%. A very friendly, attentive server gets even more. It would take a rude, unfriendly server for me to tip any less. Most problems I encounter aren't the servers fault, and I won't punish them for someone else's mistake. Valets get a few bucks, depending on how many singles I have Ushers get a $1 or two I don't tip hostesses. I do tip at the buffets, but only if they bring me drinks or take my plates. Then, I'll give them around 10%. Furniture/appliance delivery guys will get a 10 spot from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CincySportsFan Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 I have an unorthodox way of figuring the tip when we're at a restaurant. I'll take the tax amount, multiply it by 3, then add whatever change is needed to make my entire bill an even dollar amount. Since I'm usually paying with my credit/debit card, it makes balancing at the end of the month a whole lot easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
