do you know what "TIPS" was actually originally an acronym for?
Totally Im-Promtu Service. |

| I normally tip 20%. I feel bad for some of these waiters having to deal with people all day. Though your ass really does need to get a real job lol |

| And who would serve your food? Somebody has to do it. But 20% is too high. 15 I say. |

| 20% is standard. 15% for bad service, 30% for exceptional service. |

I used to work at the Universal Resort in Orlando. Europeans (specifically English) were notorious for being bad tippers. Is there a customary reason behind that?
I've had a ton of restaurants jobs, so I understand the frustration with not getting tipped if you do a good job. When I go out to eat, I'm super clean and courteous too. Just because I understand what it feels like to serve s.
EDIT: I usually do 20% or in the vicinity. I like having my totals equal an amount without change so it's easier to recollect your purchases on bank statements, etc. |

It takes more to impress them? |

| Waiters/waitresses are paid much better there and thus depend less on tips. People just tip less (if at all) in general in most of Europe. |

| I always ask Carl Cox what he would tip and then I divide that by half |

| I usually tip around 20% even though I am totally against tipping. I would rather pay more for my meal at a restaurant that had a no tipping policy. |

| An obese person against tipping the people that serve him his food. Are you sure you're not American? |

Makes sense. We always thought it had to do with something like that rather than them all having tight pockets; although, I think our receipts did have the tips calculated on them. One would think that would prompt someone to tip additionally. |
