If you have good service/food you might have left 10%, or just throw a few extra quid/£5 on the table after playing the bill. With large group yes it was expected. Now as we have moved cashless it is getting common for restaurants to add 10% to 15% to the bill as a service charge. Not used JustEat or Uber Eats, normally just order direct, and drivers for the local Indian or Dominos, don't seem to expect a tip and I've never given one.Back when I was getting taxis, it was usually just keep the change (rounding to the nearest £1, no idea what it is like in the cashless society we live in now.Hairdressers is another place I find it common to tip.Also bar staff back when I was drinking and pints were only a few quid, you might say keep the change which was normally around 50p at most, or "and one for yourself", in which case the bar staff might add 25p to 50p to the price of a pint, and keep that, they wouldn't charge for a whole extra pint even though you said "and one for yourself".If anywhere else asked for a tip I would tell them where to shove it, charge what you think the service is worth.</blockquote>
