If someone is serving you, you should take the bill add it and move the decimle point over\nso it should go something like\n\nBill: $12.00\n\n12+12+24.00\n\nmove the decimle point over once to the left and boom.  Tip: $2.40.  of course...its always nice to leave no less than a 4 dollar tip...but thats the actual way i was taught

Look in the phone book under "pizza delivery." Usually, pizza places will say "free delivery" in their ad. If there's no delivery fee, tipping the driver is customary. I'd say between $2-5 is average, though more is possible. I'd tip more if the driver had far to travel or if the order was big.

Ok, I want to know what state you people live in.  I live in California and EVERYONE gets at least the minimum wage of $6.75 an hour (even waitresses) and then they get tips on top of that.  I know because I used to be a waitress in an Italian restraunt.  And in January, minimum wage is going up to $7 something an hr.  So dude, I have to agree with you.  Tips were just an extra bonus for me.  I don't see why we need to tip here in Cali.  Service sucks, it is expensive AND the waitresses get paid better than anywhere already.  So if there are any waitresses complaining about their $2 an hour, move to Cali and get treated with better pay.  No one gets a measly $2 an hour here.  Is that even legal?  Sad.

LOL!!! That's hilarious!! The tip was probably not enough. But at least you have a good story to tell, and that's priceless!!!!!

they spent $25 for room $2 for tip = $27, each man spent $9 for the room or $27.\n\nThe problem is you add the $2 tip again and expect to get $30 which is wrong. Remember each man took $1 so you add $3 to get $30.  No missing money

Well I have two jobs and one is waiting tables at a tiny place here in my town. There is ALLOT to the to-go orders. I answer the phone, write it down and I make sure it is correct for the customer and then I take it to the cook. She cooks it and I bag it up and make sure all of the necessary items like salsa, sourcream etc......are inside and of course I ring up the food. (it takes time). So i would say tip the person 25 cents if it is 3.00 or more etc...it is only fair. We work hard to get you happy with your order so a tip bit of money wouldn't hurt.

yes the tips make up for the lower slary, it all depends on the type of place yolu apply at, the more expensive the restaraunt the more you will make.

You need to work in an expensive restaurant. you will work just as hard in a dive and an expensive restaurant - but if tip is a percentage of the bill - you get more there. Being pretty and flirty helps when guys tip - really!!

Yes, people can be rude asses, but the trick is to act like you are just thrilled to answer to their every whim.  Before long you will actually enjoy knowing what they need before they need it and most people will tip well for that.  They really just want a friendly/efficient person to make their day a little better.  Just look back on how you like to be treated when out to eat and follow that.

I tip at least 15% unless the server is rude. 20% for good service. \n\nKeeping the table cleared is a biggie for me. Dirty plates piling up really distracts from the experience. \n\nKeeping the water glasses filled. \n\nYou should be looking at the tables you're serving regularly to see if they are signalling you -- nothing is more irritating than a waiter who avoids eye contact because they are busy. That is just rude. If you have other things going on then explain that you'll be with them asap.  \n\nRemembering to bring the condiments requested with the meal instead of 5 minutes later when the food is no longer hot -- or even THERE for that matter. \n\nFriendly and smiling and relaxed. If a server is all stressed out I can feel it and it makes the whole dining experience uneasy.\n\nShowing a genuine desire to give good service. It is always obvious when a server sees you as a dollar sign and not a human being. I can understand how servers get that way, because their work is often thankless and people can be dismissive, rude and super ignorant in dealing with waiters. I've worked in fine dining and banquets myself, so I know how it can be. So when you reach burnout level move on to something else, instead of being a lousy server with a bad attitude. \n\nFood service can be great fun and bringing home tips every day is a great perk. I hope you enjoy your new job!

Tipping is typically related to service, picking up food from a restaurant hardly qualifies as such.\n\nThere is no hard-set rule to tip for carry-out, but it's not customary.\n\nThat said, it's also your preference, if you feel you should or you visit the place often you might want to consider it. I still tip my favorite buritto place as it's a token of appreciation and I know how little they make.. I do tip less than if I ate there.

If you are paying as you go, then yes you tip each time.  If you are building a tab, then you tip at the time your ticket is presented to you (just as you would if you had ordered a meal).  Most of the people who work in the food and drink industry don't make much money, and most have to share their tips.

Well,I do but when you really think about it,it depends,because you know they get paid doing that so some people don't leave tips but some of them get paid but just a lil bit so people leave a tip just for extra it just depends if you want to leave tips or not for some sort of reason.

For me it would always depend on the situation. In the winter for instance if they help you in, hail a cab or assist you someother way I'd be inclined to tip up to 5-10 dollars. If its a little more forgiving out and all they do is open your door, then nothing says you have to tip them at all, they do get paid for their job.\n \nNever forget Christmas and their Birthday if you know it. You'll be in like flynt!

Tipping has been around since the beginning of time.... As for $2.13, that was raised from $2.09 in 1998.
