coins for tipping - coins for tipping in restaurants, salon, parking
Yes I give tips when I'm satisfied with their service, like in a restaurant for example when the waiter/ waitress responds almost instantly to our request. I give 5 - 10% of the total bill.

Yeah, i usually give tip especially when i am so impressed and more satisfied by their service. Well, i just feel happy giving some as i would they would perform their job more better than good. Oftentimes, i give up to 70% of the actual amount due for me.

In Australia thankfully it is not like in the US, you only have to thrown a couple of dollars in a jar as a rule at the counter but only if you want to, I only do that if I feel the service and the food deserves it, which is most times...

That's good. I think giving tip should be on free will.

there is no bondation or any prescribed rule in statute book that one has to follow otherwise he /she will be punished. it is your own wish if you think positive. yes, i have given so many times tips to barbar also at the time of my brother's marriage when he cut my hair according to my satisfaction. generally, tips are given for hospitality service preferably in hotel, tourist guide where an individual performs his duties for a particular person. and it may be Rs. 10,20, 50 100 minimum.

I tip my hair stylist. I used to tip 20 percent but lately she has gone up in price...I pay her the same as I always have however...because as she has raised her prices, the tip then decreases...the service has not changed in quality. I might add that she is the proprietor of the salon and does not as such does not rent a station.

for me it depends on how good the service is. If my hairdresser does a fabulous job I will tip really well but if not they better be lucky I even tip them at all. The same is at reataurants. But as for delivery,if my food does not make it in a speady time then they get no tip at all.
