I tip drivers. And anyone that is usually self employed. As well as waiting on staff. All of who are largely paid minimum wage. Sorry big chains don't get Tips.

It's a myth that tip originated from To Insure Promptness

I always tip out of respect for individuals who are out there working for a living, I never tip or pay out to street panhandlers

I have never been driven by you personally, not that I can remember anyway. Most tipping I think is prompted by peer pressure. You are expected to do it. I sometimes do, and I sometimes don't. (Not limited to taxis either.) I hate myself either way because I do it willy-nilly, which is deeply unsatisfying, because I am not making any sense.

Okay, not limited to taxis, but "card" payments make me tip LESS then ever before. What's the amount? Okay, pay by "card" BEEP the smart watch, done, no tip, thanks anyway.

Tip isn’t really an acronym (Snopes wrote a page about it.) When people claim a very common word is an acronym, that’s actually rarely the case in reality. “Pakistan” and “radar” are probably some of the most common examples of words that really are acronyms.

I hope barbers get good tips, the cut doesn't cost much, but I always tip generously.

I never tip a taxi driver, ever. The simple reason is i used to work as a tyre fitter and not once did a taxi driver tip me when most of the general public did, and the attitude of some taxi drivers to tyre fitters is disgusting.

I tip a taxi driver when he helps me with my luggage and takes the most direct route . If he only drives me without any extra assistance to my location for example airport to home then he has done what is required without any additional service then I pay the fare without additional renumeration . Most drivers do go the extra and deserve a tip .

“Conversations in silence” thinking of the end of watch scene where Michael Pena says he and Gabby aren’t mutes….

It is strange. I have a limited budget these days ... but always tip a barber or taxi driver, on the rare occasions I take a taxi. Also can't get off a bus without thanking the driver....

At the time of viewing you had 6,031 views. That had earned you £241.24. As a disabled pensioner, I wish I could get that sort of money and still get tips. Tipping is outdated. No one should give or take them.

Why should we tip anyone, these days. There are plenty of people who do far more important jobs than you who don get tips or who ar3 not allowed to take money. My wife was a nurse and I was a firefighter. We saved lives but weren’t allowed to take any money.

Hi Tom ok I love your theory but I was a coach driver for many years and I’ve seen the tips go down and down over the years when I first started I would have a “hat” bag, hankies taken round but when I gave up coach driving about 6 years ago for the last 2 years of that time I never see a tip and I was still doing the same work tours and day trips and assorts so I’m not sure about your theory. And I would say the best tips in my time would be American and Chinese was always good tippers

Not wanting to carry change. That's normally why I tip...

Okay, answer me a question, I have used London Taxi quite regularly in the Kingston and Hatton Cross Area, why should I tip when the drivers around this area are grumpy, arrogant and don't even want to have a conversation? Is it an area thing for some areas are really bad????

I usually tip based on how hard the job is. If it’s a tough drive across city I’d be more likely to leave a tip because I feel like the fare doesn’t truly pay the driver for the difficulty they went through

I tip on the driver good tip knob no chance

Take a uber, fixed price, no tipping.

Quality video as usual mate.

I’m very much a round up person with cash, round up to the next £5 however with card machines i find myself tipping less, something about the machine presenting it to me makes it feel more requested or obligated rather than a gesture from me

I used to find that it was just giving the passenger what ride they want. If they want to chat then chat, if they don’t want to chat then don’t. A lot of the time it was also getting out and helping the passenger if they needed it too

As an amateur psychologist I think it's trust and what you were saying, but paying at the end allows the customer to enjoy the experience and get their dopamine hit during your journey in a similar way to a diner. London cabs are comfortable and a great way of getting around so by the time the machine offers a facility to tip they'll be happy to. Possible a cultural stereo type but people who get taxis may be different: say foreign tourists with their own standard of tip, domestic clients in London spending or business expensing, or Londoners on a really key journey.

I tip a cab driver like I do with my barber. My barber knows I like silence. I go to switch off cut,shave hot towel. The same for cabs I go in them and like silence and most get within the first minute what type of customer you are. If people wonder or think I’m anti social these two times are times I can switch off and gather my own thoughts in a busy life and both professions respect that.

I find tipping a demeaning hand-out and downright rude. It's not a reward, it's akin to an insult. People who tip do it to make as though themselves feel superior and to belittle the servant. Imagine tipping someone who's fortunate to be able to work and lucky enough to have a job, and then walk past someone homeless on the street and give them nothing. What a wonderful world we live in. Tipping in the UK should be frowned upon and against the law. Tipping is a American cultural thing, let the yanks keep it over in the States.

Americans are defo my best tippers.

Amazing

I’ve heard of cabbies getting tips/payment. 😂😂😂

I tip based on the quality of the service. When in a taxi, if the driver is courteous and doesn't scare the living daylights out of me while driving, 😀 (Yes, NYC I'm looking at you 🤣😂).

0:20 why show dolr symbol in the back? Not your roalar British Pound? £££

Love these videos

i tip my taxi driver when he’s w***e

To Insure Promptness ?? Bwahahahaha. Now that's a load of urban myth bollox. A made up "backronym". 😂

As a taxi driver, I have found that when a customer is paying with a card, they very rarely tip. If it is cash, then I'm more likely to get a tip. In all fairness, I'm glad to get the hire in the first place 😂

For me, if you shut up and let me have some peace during my journey (probably the only quiet moment I'll get, but I need for my anxiety) then I'll tip, because you matched my energy. The price of the meter is the cost of travel. The tip for me is the quality of the journey

When I get a black cab from Romford to home. The fare depending on the time is between £15 to £20 so I round up to the nearest £5 so no change needed from the driver. But not paid for a black cab on a card since I know the card company takes a fee. But my credit card gives me Amazon vouchers. But I think I will still tip to help the driver pay the credit card fee.

I get a taxi twice a day and always round the fare up to the next whole pound. I was a taxi driver for 12 years.

I only tip if the driver gets me to where I wanna go fast. Not taking the long route, dodging traffic etc

Pay with a card but pay a tip in cash,up to them if they declare it 🤓

Could only be American 🇺🇸 who you tipped you that much. the only good thing about their entire culture. Is the tipping.

I do this all the time for example if the fair is £21 I just go charge me £30 - £9 for a coffee or a beer when you finish

Just depends on how the passenger is feeling

5:00 “conversations in sheer silence” 🤣

I recon it is those white ear rings mate. 😁.

I love your KZbin channel. My dad was a taxi driver in California USA

I hate tipping. It's just so unnecessary.

Nah sorry mate, we're not Americans so let's not bring the stupid thing from across the pond. I don't tip the till person at Sainsbury's and I do respect their service

Enjoying the extra production value on this one, Tom!

Where the names for the other can channels? Come on Tom Sharing is caring. But their links up again mate
