[QUOTE="Zombie_Babies, post: 6220994, member: 6750039"] Tipping? I'm firmly in the [URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4sbYy0WdGQ"]Mr Pink[/URL] camp on this one. But ... but no, in reality I tip and I tip well. I understand any job with 'Customer Service' in the description sucks and sucks hard. These people don't get paid nearly enough to deal with the crap they do and are literally counting on you to tip them. It's simply part of the cost of the meal. I get on anyone I'm with who doesn't tip or doesn't tip well. It's not right. Oh, and I like to revisit places and rule number one if you're gonna go back is Don't Bleep With the People Who Serve Your Food. ;) When tipping I like to go 20% - though it appears that the cultural shift in America is making that the standard rather than the high standard so I may need to up it. If I'm tipping a bartender and I'm not running a tab or it's an open bar, the rule is $1 per drink. Every time you get a drink leave them a dollar. If you run a tab 20% or over is the rule, IMO. When I was in Greece I met quite a few Brits and we had some fun conversations. Invariably as we met during dinner or lunch tipping would come up. I found I had to defend the practice. The response to my defense was always 'you should pay wait staff more and just not tip' to which I always responded 'yes, we should but since we don't we absolutely must tip'. That's something I think a lot of people from over wherever forget. What the rules should be and what they are differ and you really should just leave a tip. Oh, and in Greece?
