So far I give almost always some Extra to waiter especially if service was very good but than I realize, on month level, I give some bigger amount. So I decided now rare give extras. Do you give extras to waiter? Do you do everytime? Image source: http://www.thisishaarlem.com/how-to-tip-your-waiter/

If the service is good and the waiter is friendly, I will give a generous tip. If the service is merely adequate, I will leave the standard tip.

@mrki444 Here it is standard to leave 15-18% of the cost of the meal as a tip.

@DWDavis In Croatia it's more usuall round bill number on higher value, like 27 to 30 or 32 to 35.

In Croatia we often round bill. Example, if it's 18kn, we say 20kn.

yeah you're supposed to tip your server. I've had friends in the food business that go through a lot to make their customers happy with no reward and they're certainly not paid enough as it is. so yes I always give a tip.

I was doing some waiter and catering jobs as student so I know it's not easy and not well paid job.

Here it is expected to give 15% of the total bill. If they are really nice then I may give more.

@mrki444 We are used to that! If one can't afford to tip then it's better not to go out because the waiter or waitress expects to get tipped.

Is that to much if you go out often and bills are bigger?

I rarely go to restaurants, I only give them extra tips if their service is satisfying.

This is a very interesting and good question. So, to respond properly i'd have to say, what country are you in? Depending on the countries mannerisms and such either it is proper or not to tip your service provider. In America it is almost a requirement to tip %15-%18. I think it might be in Japan ( forgive me if I'm wrong, rather, correct me if i'm wrong) where it is disrespectful to tip at a restaurant. Thanks !*

I seldom eat out. I prefer cook and eat at home. But when I have to eat outside I often give some tip to the waiter if the service is good

I would give every time but it's not small amount on month basis so I give rarely.
