[QUOTE="XO, post: 3315527, member: 24452"] [b]Incredibly Funny[/b] Sorry guys! I once read an article that stated the amount of tipping in any given country is directly proportional to how "anally retentive" (that's a direct quote) the inhabitants are... I really am not (the above), so tipping is a 10-15% deal, with extraordinary service reaching 20% (such as waiter really going out of his way when you take gf / wife out for anniversary). Europeans are even less... They "round up" leaving the small change. For the delivery charge, they should be drawn and quartered. For the driver's tip, consider a variation of you're a working man or not. $1 would have been ok unless you make him walk half-a-mile and cruise the elevator highway to reach your door. 25% for a barman? Nahhhh! They make more money than you do! A good barman in a decent city at a good (not the best) bar will make $50k-$60K a year working three nights a week. I really found it a riot when waiters / servers / people who lovingly bring food over unilaterally decided that they SHOULD get 20% instead of 15%... These are some of the few people who actually DO get wage increase as their end grows with the inflation of meal prices. [/QUOTE]
