Couldnt agree more, I was a waiter many years ago and know how crap it can be at times. No salary just tips.

You have a voucher for free food, because you have a bank account that may cost more a month than that person makes a day, least you can do is pop a little bit more than usual or at least something at all. Pay it forward help your fellow man/woman just a little. Wont make a difference to you but will to them!... [OUT]

Paying it forward !!!! Bingo ! Nice way to see that !

I usually tip 10% of the amount before applying the discount, same with the entertainer app. If my bill was R500, then with entertainer applied the bill gets reduced to R300, I still pay R50 tip, or at least something close to it

Agree... very fair. I do exactly the same. For entertainer and for woolies.

I normally add extra tip for delivery on uber eats, and try to add even just R5 over what is "expected" at a restaurant. You wouldn't believe what huge smiles and thanks I receive for that. They do appreciate it!

Some new items added to the app, earphones and a monitor. Hope some phones get added soon. Wonder if they plan on continuing to trickle new items in or if they'll switch to a regular schedule.

If they paid minimum no one would do it. So the allure is that with tips the waiter gets way more than minimum and the restaurant makes more money. Everyone wins except the customer.

Luckily here in Asia tips are frowned upon, and in Japan could be considered an insult.

I don't know how much they getting paid, and tip based on the level of service received. Whether the waiter makes minimum wage from the restaurant or not is irrelevant imo as what they earn is none of my business really.

Even reading carefully doesn't always help. Colesberg 1 stop Wimpy is listed as a participating store, but they would only give a 50 % discount to my friend with a voucher yesterday. When he pointed out that it said complimentary free burger, the lady at Wimpy replied that she knows that, but that they only give 50 per cent.

I had a similar experience in December. The staff said that is what the system allowed. I showed them the app and the supervisor did an override.

Your friend should have said, "that's ok, I only ate 50% of the burger!"

I want a new iPad, but I also promised my girlfriend I'd buy her some nice knives from Yuppiechef with my eBucks. Arrgh. I hope she forgets about that. I'll have enough to buy one of those things next month.

I see I’m getting charged a “value added service fee” of 40 ebucks monthly. Is this normal? Don’t recall seeing this before , but it was charged last month as well.
