How much do you tip? email this discussion to a friend?

I was eating out with my daughter yesterday and she asked me how I decide what to tip. I explained that I usually tip 15-20% and if the person waiting on me is good I tip extra. I also tip extra if there are a lot of people in our party. So my question is how much do you tip when you are out?

The same unless the service is extremely poor. I have tipped nothing to 1cent in those cases. But believe me. The service was extremely poor in those instances.

I think 10% is good enough. BTW tipping is not encouraged in Australia and Japan. But of course, they do appreciate if you do.

We start out at 20%, then deduct or add-on according to how the service is. The biggest deduction is if the server dosen't offer coffee or acts like waiting on us is an imposition!

We do around 15-20% but I will do more if we have the grandkids with us because they tend to make more of a mess. I will, however, not tip or tip minimally if I feel the service was bad.
