How much do you tip your waiter?

Zero surprise who takes pole position:

Depends where. In SA I tip 15%, US at least 20% with their pathetic minimum wage laws, and where I live you don’t tip for anything.

People have been calling it for a while now ie. outta control in the US.

lol, I suppose the people at my company shouldn’t expect bonuses either, since they’re paid a salary. Let’s cut the bonuses and see what happens. It’s weird, but being on a discretionary bonus system I effectively work for tips.

It’s getting out of hand.

If the waiter is not very pretty, just the tip.

So some people here tip irrespective on the quality of service they receive?

Yep. Most of 'em do it out of guilt.

No. If service is bad I don't tip and I tell the waiter why.

They have taught AI well:

It also automatically selected the highest tip option (which is fine, but like, ask me first lol)

I disagree with Nelson. It should be my decision whether to tip and how much I want to tip at any given time. Fine, no.

Lately, there has been a strong movement in the US to encourage tipping.

I recently dined at a high end US restaurant. They automatically added the 20% service charge, and then also automatically added a 4% “employee health benefits” charge. Tip was $125 at the end. I’ve never seen the 4% charge anywhere else before, which makes for a 24% automatic tip in total.

It also seems to be an incorrect mechanism - so the more customers, and the more they pay, the better their healthcare is? On a down month, don’t they get healthcare? It should be part of their base, because it’s fixed.

Fun fact, at the Ultra JHB music festival a couple months back I went to one of those trailers selling takeaway pizza.
After ordering I was asked if I wanted to tip, I figured why not - tipped 20% and paid.

"Thanks" the guy said, as he grabbed my pizza from a stack of pizza boxes that were done probably 20 minutes ago and handed me cold pizza...
This is what I get for being nice.

We tip nothing here. It's not part of the culture and not expected at all.
