Poll question: Tipping is not a city in China POLL
Edited on Mon Jun-27-05 06:05 PM by UdoKier
So how much do you tip for decent/good service at a sit-down restaurant?

1. Usually at least 25% tips. More if the service is excellent.

2. 15 to 20% ...
Though I've been known to tip 25% if the service is really good and my meal was relatively inexpensive (mainly so I don't look like a tightwad if I start counting pennies for a drink and appetizer!).

6. I've waited tables.
I never felt gypped by 15%. It's the ones who leave pocket change or nothing that are pissers.

5. It depends on the service.
I range from 0 to 20%+.
