Tipping rules

[Happy Panther]

I flew through Miami this weekend and the bars and restaurants add 15% automatically now...

I ordered a pizza a few weeks ago and noticed they now charge a delivery fee that is separate from the tip..

You just noticed this? Most chain pizza places have done this for years.

it's been a while since I've ordered a pizza....

If its not asit down restaurant or catering type event I don't type for food.

B y sit down a mean actualy dining place where you order off the menu with a waiter, etc..

What's do you guys do as for tipping strippers..is it flat rate per dancer does it depend oh her level of hotness, ass size, cup size or how well she shakes it.

[Bronn]

Which sucks for pizza guys since they have car maintenance and fuel costs to worry with.

...then don't be a pizza guy...

I drive to my job every day too, and probably put on comparable miles as they do pulling an 8 hour local shift...

BTW the delivery fee covers the cost of insurance for the drivers, and they usually make less than minimum wage... which is why I tip them anything in the first place...

My general rule, if I have to leave my seat for a refill I don't tip.

If they bring me my food at a place like that, I tip... McAllisters is a good example.

If I get my own food, they get no tip.

same thing at Showmars. I'll leave a dollar or two. They always appreciate because they aren't expected like most places and there's no line on the cc receipt for a tip.

what about buffets? I typically don't eat at buffets but on holidays that's all that's offered. I typically still do 20% but they are working on a holiday.

[PhillyB]

servers get paid 2.30 an hour.

moes employees get minimum wage, at least.

BIG difference.

[UCaneFanII]

So wait, you cooked your food?

Do you tip at mcdonald's? They do more than than the op's places

[Floppin]

Of course I do, I also tip random strangers that hold doors for me.

[MADCAT]

depends on my frequency of visits

Bingo!

I do not tip unless waited on or have something delivered, I will also tip if I pick up my food on places I frequent a lot...
