What do you think of people who don't give tip after buying a meal?

Yes I do leaave a tip in most case's. But when I don't get coffee or I get igored as they think the person I'm with is paying. LOL. no tip for you. Or I leave 50 cents. I bet next time they remember who pay's the bill. If I'm low on funds I try to get them next time. Or I don't go out to eat. The cook should get part of it anyway. My girlfriend is a waittess and she makes a good 100.00 to 150 a night. on tips. So yeah sometimes they make more then you. I son't think anything really when other people don't tip as maybe they can't afford to. A tip was ment for good service and if you could afford it. Now someplace's they put right in to the bill. I don't go there.

It depends on what kind of service you get! Most of the time I will always tip, but I will always give cash and give the money to the waiter or waitress otherwise the restaurant or business will get it and the poor waiter/waitress will not see a penny of it and they work so hard too and they are not paid much, plus they are on their feet all day which is hard work! It is not very often I get poor service. When you pay by card never put a tip onto the card because you don't know if the waiter will get it and it will go straight into the owner's pocket! So cash is best if you tip and I do agree with tipping providing you get good service!

I do give tips if the service provided was good. Tips are given from within the heart for some really good sevice provided and if one feels that there is no need to give one there is nothing wrong about it for the person is already being paid for the service by his employer. I feel it is perfectly normal for a person to simply pay the bill and not leave anything as tip.

I don't give tip but my mom does. Because she is the one with the job right now, haha.. But if I have a job, I will give a small amount of tip. I don't have anything against people who don't give tip in restos. I guess it's acceptable in these days if someone will not give some tip because of the world/financial crisis.

I always leave a tip for the waiter or waitress unless they really stunk at their job. If they were mediocre then I leave about 10% of the pre-tax amount. If they are pretty good then I leave 15% and if they are wonderful, remember everything I order, keep the drinks filled, and are friendly, etc. I give them 20%. I am not rich, but if I am going to spend money to go out to eat then I will be sure to have enough to leave a tip for the waiter/waitress. I had a girlfriend in high school who was very rude and never left a tip, no matter what. It was embarrassing. So when our group was ready to leave we would all put in a little bit more to bring the tip up to what it should have been. Her thoughts were that they made a salary so why should she give them more money. Did you know that waiters/waitresses usually only make about $2.13 an hour? That is WAY below minimum wage. Have a great day and happy myLotting!!!

I always tip unless the service was just H O R R I B L E. I think that is part of going out to eat, if you can't afford to leave a tip then you can't afford to go out to eat. You shouldn't cheat the waitress out of her money, especially if she did a good job.

Serving people in restaurants don't even make minimum wages and they depend on tips. I always leave a tip. I am on a fixed income and if I'm going out to eat I figure the tip before I go. I would not tip as much for poor service though I would leave some kind of tip. Most times they work very hard.

i think it would be morale boosting for the persons who are serving you.i do try to leave a tip whenever possible.it is not a hard and fast rule though.

I used to be a waitress and I made $2.50 an HOUR! Waiters and waitresses make their money on tips. If you don't have money to tip when you go out, don't go out. You should always account for tip.

It all depends on the service itself. But most times I will tip. I have had excellent service and I will give a little more than a usually do. When the service is mediocore then I will give a little less. But if the service is so lousy and unworthy I will not give a tip at all as they did not work for it. However I will give it straight to the waiter/waitress as most times it will go straight to the restraunt and some restraunts have a tip jar that all of them have to share. I don't think this is fair as some of them will work their butts off and then there are others who don't even care. So hence why I will give it straight to the waiter/waitress.

To be honest and I mean this with respect it is very rude. I also kind of think it is rude to be laughing about ripping people off. I don't mean to be rude, but you did ask. If you can't afford to tip you should not be eating at the restaurant. Go to a fast food restaurant where the people working there are paid more adequetly and do not count on tips to survive. You should be aware that waitress's base salaries are very low and pretty much only pay for their taxes. You should also know that they have to a set amount of taxes based on their customers checks. So on that check that you pay where you did not tip her she will still have to pay taxes on that money that she did not get from you, therefore not only did you not tip her but you cost her money as well. Not only did you make her work for free for you, and cost her money but you also took up a table where someone else who would tip her might of sat. So you have wasted her time and cost her money. Waitresses are mostly employed by the customers they are serving. How would you like to not get paid by your boss after you have done the work, you would not like it very much would you. If you are not rich enough to tip, you are not rich enough to eat at restaurants where people depend on tips to live. You are hurting those people financially and wasting their time. Now tell me do you think this is nice?

I always try to leave at least two dollars. I know waiters and waitresses don't get paid much and that its a hard job. No offense but it bothers me when people don't leave a type because most of a waitresses income is off of tips.

Tip is an extra spending on eating!!! I trust tip is a motivation tool for the restaurants people.... I have a policy on giving TIP. When i go to restaurants, if they collect tax, i wont give tips. here i may depend on the quality service. and if its a normal petty restaurants where they wont collect tax, i used to tip them.

Well, I always do. It is just customary here. So standard is 7%. Service is bad, 5%. IF the server is a cute girl, or it is good service, 10% haha. What can I say. Cute girls are my downfall!

I usually give tips when I eat at restaurants (provided that they accept tips). One reason why I do it is because they treated me okay and another reason would be is to help the crew out. I know a lot of them are underpaid so it's just a small way to help them out. Probably the reason why I won't leave a tip is if the customer service and the food was exceptionally bad. I really don't have anything against people who don't leave tips. I mean, is their (your) choice. Besides, it's not a mandatory thing... A lot of restaurants also have service charge already so there really is no need to leave money anymore...

I tip unless the service is truly awful. In the US wait-persons are paid less than minimum wage, because it's assumed that they make up the difference in tips. I've worked as a waitress myself in the past, it's hard work and you have to be nice even if your customer is a jerk. If the server is truly horrible at his/her job, I'll either leave a very low tip or none at all. I figure that server needs to learn to do their job better or find a different one & my low tip will help them come to that conclusion faster. But as long as they provide a fair level of service, I tip as well as I can. If they provide outstanding service, I try to tip them more.

I usually tip 10-20%, sometimes 25% - depending on the service. Often, I will tip to round the payment off to an even dollar amount. It may have been the case in the past that servers were not paid as much by their employers in the anticipation that customers would give tips for good service - and so I enjoy telling a server that their service was good by giving them a good tip. Generosity - it's one of those things that goes around and comes around.

i don't give tip when there are service charge and if the service is not good. i do consider that. their service will only reflect how good restaurant that is. i think of people who dont give tips is maybe he/she not satified to the server/waiter/waitress.

Mixed thoughts on this. Some restaurants have a cover charge, never really none what that is for, so I never tip there, unless the service is exceptional. Then you have the restaurant (no cover charge) up to you then, if its good, tip, if its not don't.Then you have a take-a-way, now they get nothing, and I think that's most unfair, nine times out of ten, the server's there are better then the servers in some restaurants. So for me, if the service is good I will tip around 10% of the bill, however, and I have done this in the past, if the service is really bad, and the food the same, I'll stand my ground, and pay nothing, not a penny.

I am against giving tips to the people. By doing so u are making the person to expect some tips from everyone, due to which his attitude towards the person not giving tips will be much worse. Also it is the first step towards giving bribe to persons. Hope u agree
