The haircut was $18 & I tipped the guy $5. He thought he hit the lottery. I only had 1 smaller bill in my wallet, so I tipped the staff at the Pet Resort $10. She acted like a put a $100 in the tip jar. Leads me to believe, Villagers are not the biggest tippers around, except when they're posting on TOTV. |

Difference between a canoe and a villager?

A canoe is prone to tipping and a Villager isn't?

I usually tip 15% everywhere in the world (where people tip) if the service is up to par. If it is better than expected then I increase the amount, if it is less then I decrease it. I like 15%. It is easy for me to remember.

Best tipping discussion my wife and I were party too, was at the old Sonrise Cafe one lunchtime.
6-8 lady golfers were near arguing whether to leave 50 cents each or a dollar. Some thought a dollar was to much. It was unreal! |

Wouldn't it depend on the size of the check? If the check was $10, an $8 tip would be too much. If the check was $20, a $4 tip would be generous. If the check was $50, $8 would be a 16% tip and $4 would be only 8%.

Similarly, for a drink at a bar or a cup of coffee I will likely leave $1 or $1.50 per drink for the effort involved. I have a little trouble in bars that charge $12 for a beer but I try to avoid those venues anyway. I haven't taken many rides from the airport but I would probably consider tipping around $10/person.

At our favorite after-golf watering hole, we sometime like to prank a new bartender. Within ear shot, we will discuss whether we should leave a 3% or 4% tip. The reactions are priceless and we come clean after a bit. Our tips on drinks is normally about 100%. Bartenders work hard.

Good policy- I would only add to subtract any credit card surcharge from the above amounts

Percentages never entered the argument. Several argued that a dollar each was to much. |

Punishing the server is mean, and 15% is a cheap tip.

Priceless.

15% is very reasonable.
Ask servers what the average tip is in TV. I bet most would snatch your hand off to average that amount. |
