How much do you tip?

[BryanCranston]

For me it also depends on the situation.

If at a restaurant I typically do 20% unless they were outstanding. I understand cooks will also shares tips so I keep that in mind if the food was good but service was not.

Haircuts I tip pretty generously and try to use cash most of the time, if its a $30 total I usually tip $20. My girl says I tip way too much for a haircut but then goes and spends $200 BEFORE tip on her haircuts. I feel at the barber it's a respect thing and they are very humble about it.

Food delivery 3-5 depending how far it is. I like to think that is enough to have our food dropped off quickly or first in line if they have multiple orders lol

Bars I usually bring singles and will drop in a dollar every other drink but as the drinks flow, so do the dollars

I always tip cash bc I'd feel weird not doing so but my local barber also accepts beer and cigarettes as tips LOL i've seen other patrons give 'em, too

I live in Europe and there are differences between countries but in general, it's ok not to tip. The service is calculated in the price - in my home country years ago the restaurants took on the idea to write in the menu "service - 10%" for example and later that was banned and it's required by the law that the service is included and not mentioned as a separate item on the menu, as when you go to look at the menu, you see the prices and mentally decide if they suit you, then nobody remembers to add 10, 15 or whatever percentage that is to see if this is still ok. So this practice was judged misleading and banned. Usually I tip 10%, that is the go-to amount among everybody I know. Those 20 - 25% in USA just seem exorbitant for us And I don't feel any remorse not to tip if the service wasn't good.
I started tipping delivery guys when I read what their actual wage is and I felt sorry. But in theory that shouldn't be my problem as the restaurant charges a delivery fee.

I wish tipping wasn’t a thing in the food industry. They should have higher wages in places.

However, I will still tip if I eat out.

For services like hairstylists and tattoos I always tip because that takes a LOT of their time to do. My hairstylist is my best friend, so I always tip her generously as a result.

I will always tip for services I receive. Usually 15-20% but will tip more for exceptionally good service

[Bulbasaur]

When I do go out, I tip 15% + what the Tax was.
But if the serves wasn't that great, I just do the 15%.

No matter how bad it was, people still deserve to be paid and I feel that they might just be busy or having a hard day.
No reason for me to add to their stress.

I normally tip %10 because that's the standard average where I live and it's optional. Of course if service was really good I'll happily tip more for their effort to make me feel comfortable.

Only ocassions where I don't tip (very rare) if it's service has been very awful in general.

I've seen that in a few countries too, especially in Asia and the Middle East. The bill also specifically mentions that service charge has been added to the bill. In my home country, there was actually quite a big outcry on how much additional service charge some places used to add, so much so that the government stepped in and capped it at 10 or 15%.

ive seen on some fb news outlets that most places are mandatory placing a tip thing on their screens to make customers feel bad. places like starbucks etc. which i personally wouldnt unless they were super super great at handing me my coffee.

I always feel awkward when those screens show up at places that don't have a reason to tip because selecting "no tip" feels like such an asshole move, but if it's just a regular store and you're just helping me check out, it feels weird? Plus, one time early into the lockdowns a store near me added the tip screen, so I started to add one and the worker said something like "just so you know, the owner of the store is pocketing all of those", so I skipped it, but now I'm skeptical whenever I see tip screens in unexpected checkouts.
