So interesting listening to you talking about this! I used to work in hospitality and two things I would say: 1. Always ask who gets the tips, I've worked some places where the tips aren't actually given to the waiters/waitresses. 2. If they ask for a service charge, and trust me I know how annoying it is and it pisses me off too, but the waiter or waitress isn't in control of the added service charge and it's not fair for them to miss out because of, imo, poor management decisions. 3. Did anyone else find the richer people are the worse they tip?! I've served royalty, dukes, footballers, actors etc who rarely left a tip but the people who usually left the most most (%wise) would be your average everyday person, possibly because they've worked in the filed before? Anyway just some thoughts! Loved the podcast, the three of you are such a good combo ❤️

Because taxi drivers and waiters are dealing with you personally for your entire journey or meal so if you feel like they did the job better than average you give them a little extra to encourage more of that attitude in future.

Going slightly away from the topic of tips but still dining out - the best advice I can give to people is that to receive good customer service you need to be a good customer. Put yourself in their position - would you be more inclined to go the extra mile for someone who is snappy, rude, difficult or treats you like crap, or the person who is friendly, chatty, patient and understanding? I think staff should always aim for the best service possible but when it's busy or understaffed and working for minimum wage or little above, some people really don't help themselves!

[@biochemicalmayhem810]

The reason most places add the optional service charge on the bill, is partially due to the fact that most restaurants have a tip out system. We get paid properly, but are expected to tip out the untipped workers, such as the barstaff, food runners and chefs. It is done on a percentage of sales, so even if you didn't make the tips your still expected to give them to the other staff. Luckily at my place of work this spans over a week, so if you don't make it one day you can make it on others. And before you say that they can just decide not to give the tip out, it comes off of card tips first which are through the system, so there is no choice there. Everyone that works there, signed a sheet as part of their contract saying that they agree to this as well. We don't have to optional service charge, but our business is in the middle of deciding whether we do it or not. Not having a go, just giving some inside knowledge out there to people. Also, it isn't the servers choice, please don't get pissy at them, just ask them politely to take it off if you don't wish to have it on the bill.

Honestly like 10 or 12 percent is normal but it depends on how much you spend for example if you buy loads of foods and drink you should pay a decent tip like 15 or 20 but if you just get a few drinks and a main no starters or anything then just like 8 or 10 percent

As a ex binman in the UK I can confirm they do get tipped

[@Tiltdphotography]

Some guy tipped me 5p once, like placed it into my hand after paying and I threw it in the bin right in front of him. It does feel insulting even if it might not be.

If I got tipped 15p would stick it in the charity box . Worked in hospitality for over 10 years different types of places work in a pub now . Every place should get tipped be it fast food or restaurant because serving the public can be a hard job everyone deserves that little extra

We don’t tip here in Australia, but we pay hospitality staff a decent amount

I’m 15 and used to deliver the free local newspapers (until corona fucked it) and gave out a Christmas card to all 330 houses I delivered too and got about £230 quid! And lots of chocolate haha

[@TheBreadBoxLtd]

I was a chauffeur for a few years, often get £20 tips per job, best one was around £150

Someone once tipped me Royal Mail 2nd class postage stamps because they didn't have cash

[@jackwitney6521]

Nice 😂

[@Dilligaf666]

Tipping doesn't happen here much at all in Australia..

[@TheMovieSurgeon]

Dominos driver here, we get minimum wage plus 85p per delivery towards petrol and ware/tare of the car. I'm having to fork out a few hundred quid on my bumper which I damaged at work...will be a lot of 85 pences to cover that, so please tip us if you can 😂

[@lennonwight2845]

Delivery tips really make or break your cash in at the end of the night, anyway I’ve done it they give you a starting of price of what your guaranteed to make which was £15 then after that you earn £2 per delivery. On a dead night it sometimes isn’t worth it to leave the house when taking into account fuel prices etc. Never realised how big they can affect pay as a whole until I started doing it

[@lennonwight2845]

On average I’d say you also spend £10 on fuel as well

8:25 ahahahahagaha Robbie is spot on, my dad is good mates with our bin-men and they would legit transport a corpse for him for a fee

[@nath8696]

I don’t go out to restaurants but when I order in I tip the delivery driver not a massive amount but a couple of quid. With taxis I do just round up to the nearest pound. I know a couple of delivery drivers and a fair few taxi drivers and it’s not all glitz and glamorous days so a little tip can go a long way
