-- Posted by Tavis at 9:02 pm on Jan. 9, 2009 So, my dad always is telling me I tip people too much whenever I pay for things. I bought a 14 dollar dinner tonight at a sit-down place, and gave her a 5 dollar tip. I see that as being reasonable. But he things I should have given a two dollar one. Do you guys have a rule of thumb for tipping, like 10% or something? Do you tip more then most people. Anything like that really, please tell. I guess I am just rather generous towards workers like that. -- Posted by asia lover at 9:03 pm on Jan. 9, 2009 I tip about 10%, but deduct and add by the way they were a help to me :/ -- Posted by blufindr at 9:04 pm on Jan. 9, 2009 I have a base 10%, and add extra depending on how good the service was. Typically, I tip around $5-10. -- Posted by Leelyy at 9:04 pm on Jan. 9, 2009 I usually rate them.  If they were REALLY nice to me, I'd rate them an 8, and give them an $8 tip, unless I had a very large bill. :) -- Posted by blackbandaid at 9:04 pm on Jan. 9, 2009 I don't tip. -- Posted by x0fantasy20 at 9:04 pm on Jan. 9, 2009 its 15% here. -- Posted by steve123411 at 9:05 pm on Jan. 9, 2009 Good service will mean a tip usually bigger than the average person would give. Average or worse means a tip around 25 cents or whatever chump change i have   -- Posted by Tavis at 9:05 pm on Jan. 9, 2009 Quote: from x0fantasy20 at 12:04 am on Jan. 10, 2009 its 15% here. Oh yeah, isn't it a mandatory tipping system down there? -- Posted by MixedDelight at 9:06 pm on Jan. 9, 2009 I tip you if you deserve it. Or if it's a big group of my friends and I and I can see the waitress/waiter is struggling I'll give a nice tip. -- Posted by r o c 2 at 9:07 pm on Jan. 9, 2009 no one goes by the 10 percent rule.. i tip $2-$7 it depends -- Posted by matthewlovelady at 9:09 pm on Jan. 9, 2009 I tip based on friendliness and good service and I use my own judgement on what would be a good tip. -- Posted by gore at 11:15 pm on Jan. 9, 2009 i tip them more when they're cute/sexy haha -- Posted by Tavis at 8:14 am on Jan. 10, 2009 Quote: from gore at 2:15 am on Jan. 10, 2009 i tip them more when they're cute/sexy haha Same here, it does play in. Just the overall enjoyment of the meal, between the food, service, and prettyness of the girl.
