How much do you tip your waiter?

Iconic:

Bog standard 10% & never more. I’m not an ATM.

 

[bwana]

VAT rate.

It all depends on the waiters service
Normally 10%/15% but on cheap bills much more.
If the service is very bad and not just a mistake that anyone can make then the amount reduces
If it's the kitchen at fault and not the waiters fault, I would point it out but not penalize the waiter

Same.

 

[Wary GOM]

Usually 20% but with alteration downwards depending on service. Once in a pretty nice, upmarket restaurant, noticeably tipped zero because the waitress was snooty northern suburbs, slow, barely looked at anyone when taking and order and got a side order wrong and was uptight when asked to please correct it.

 

[MuterOfWorlds]

A base rate of 10% with a minimum flat amount of R20.00-R30.00.

Poor service can result in no tip, truly excellent service, especially when a large group/table and they were kept quite busy, I go higher, 15%-20%.

I also make a habit of not only talking to a manager if service is bad, but make a point of praising excellent service. If you are not willing to praise excellent service, I do not believe you have the right/licence to complain about bad service.

 

[Snyper564]

Typically 10-15%, this is different if its a smaller bill. Help others where you can - if you can.

 

[Gabe Owner]

We tip based on service received. That said, I think it's rubbish that it is expected of the customer to foot the bill for establishment staff.

 

[Brian_G]

10%.
If service is bad, nothing.
If service is excellent sometimes more.

 

[AstroTurf]

5% to 15%

Adega does this, charges you a fixed 10% service fee.

 

[myBBexpert]

tipping culture needs to fall

 

[KantSnyer]

Usually 10%, cash.

 

[Zen17h]

 

[Grieta Thanburg]

I only tip if you kiss my feet.

10% on Uber Eats, 15% in restaurant, usually.

 

[Die Uwe]

I always give them a good tip: Never run with scissors.

 

[Harmonic]

I don't give tips. Restaurants should pay their staff properly and build it into the price. I think the current setup is very scammy

 

[backstreetboy]

Yes around 10-20%.
