I feel that at one time, in North America, the price of your 'product' would have been equal to getting your monies worth. After that, a tip would be favorable if you got the good service that TIPS mean (to insure prompt service)..and most people in the 'business' to receive tips, would do just that...give good, prompt service. Now, with prices skyrocking, and tips expected, it sure has a different slant. So, go back to basics, and if you think you are getting your monies worth and the service was great...tip...if not, don't GO to those places where quality is low, prices high, and tips are 'expected' and search out the many of mom and pop type places who try to do the best they can, competing against the big guys, supply staff that will give good prompt service and enjoy...you WON'T regret it...there are some places that aren't selfish...oh, and one more thing...we don't have our tips added to our bills like in Europe (with the exception of some places), so we DO have a choice.

Don't like it at all. I think the employer should pay the employee what the wages should be, and not rely on the public to support them.

I absolutely HATE, HATE, HATE the tip jar/cup/bucket. That is nothing more than panhandling, might as well be on the street corner asking people for spare change!!

If nothing else, the tip jar should be taken out back and blown up. How dare these people do their job and then ask you for EXTRA!

I don't mind to pay a tip when the service is good. I usually tip between 15%-20% between good to great service. Less if the service is not so good.

Depends on who I'm tipping. I would prefer to have the exact price of professional services quoted to me, instead of having to guess. Tipping is not for professionals.

And a word of advice: Don't ask for tipping advice from the beneficiaries of tips.

in Australia, we pay people proper wages, and dont feel the need to tip, unless the service is above the ordinary.

Embarrassed. I would always be wondering if my Tip was considered to be an insultingly mean TIP.

if service is excellent, tips should be given... if service is poor, then let them know about the problem to see if they can resolve..if they can resolve, then a tip should be given, if they cannot resolve, do not tip and spread the word.

base your tip on how good/timely the service was
