So when i go to new york city in december do i have to tip? How do i do it. What if i go to that aircraft carrier museum? Or what if i buy some water from a street vendor? How do i do it? Or what if i go to a pub for a pint?

Anything involving a meal or alcohol you tip. I do 20% and up depending on the service but minimum 20%. If I have extra money on hand and I get a water or hot dog from a street vendor I will tip them a dollar or two. I tip very well if it's a place I will go back to and I make sure I get the same person serving me, they will remember you!!

When in doubt, watch what others do.

Water from street vendor? No.

Pub for a pint? I tip a dollar per drink. Maybe less if I order a boatload of drinks at a time.

Tips arent manditory. However, if you dont tip people who rely on tips for a living, shame on you. Doesnt matter where you live. Someone is serving YOU. They are waiting on YOU. They are refilling drinks, checking up, etc. Unless they are a honestly terrible (not a trainee) or are rude, freaking tip them. Someone getting paid 2 bucks an hour and not getting tips is aweful.

dont wanna tip your server..better not come back...watch the movie "waiting"

Yup. I even tip when I get bad service. I give a bad tip when I get bad service...but I still tip. Someone would need to do something awful for me to leave zero tip. There have been times when I had a busser (guys that fill water, clear plates, etc.) really cover for their server and I have slipped him some money on the way out. He should be rewarded for doing his job, rather than punished for doing a great job for a crap waiter/server.

I will never get this tipping malarchy.

I grew up with it. It isn't complicated. I will say though, that living in Vegas makes us used to tipping people that don't expect to be tipped in other parts of the nation. When we are in smaller towns we have tipped people that light up like they just found $20 in the jacket from last winter. You can tell that they are SUPER EXCITED to have the extra money. Did we need to tip them? Maybe not, but I bet we get great service when we come back tomorrow for lunch. It is win-win.

Ahh ya see where I am, there isn't really a tipping culture, ya maybe a small tip but nothing like a dollar or two per drink when I experienced America when I was there. You are charged 5 odd dollars for a bottle, and then more on top of that, where the hell does the 5 dollars go?

I probably tip more in Vegas than anywhere else. Maybe it's just the atmosphere there. You are correct though, I find the service improves dramatically. In fact, I usually stay at the same hotel and I'm remembered by name by all the staff including valet, doormen, front desk staff, house keeping, limo drivers, security, DJs at clubs, etc. Its crazy, but tipping can go a long way.

It costs more to drink out than at home. There is added overhead at a bar. Same reason spaghetti costs $1.50 at my house but $11.00 at a restaurant. When I pay a dollar a drink (or more) it is because I am having fun and want the bartender to be present...something that is tough when the place is busy. I don't want to wait five minutes for him/her to get around to helping me.

Take care of them and they will take care of you. It feels great to be treated like a king, especially when having fun in a place like Vegas. It can add a lot to the budget though!

Depending on most restaurants and places that rely on tips for their wages you should be at least tipping 15% depending on service.

These people work their asses off and rely on what is given to them for a living. Granted it is their choice of living, but still a living. I don't live on tips since I'm a chef but being in the business for 15 years I generally tip, 20% maybe more.

The service staff in my rest and probably all the rest of my company across the US, they can make easily 75k a year. Working 30 hrs a week. The really good ones, I've seen some over 100k.

Wife was a manager at another 5 star place, they were taking home 2500-3500 a week.

I know all this I work as a salesman but, how does it cost so much to run? Is there mad rates in the US or some other hidden cost other than labour as they clearly aren't paying much for labour at 2.13 an hr.

Insurance on a bar is expensive. Liquor licenses cost vary by state but can be a fortune. Then all tbe typical cost of a business.

[DCI]

Ahh I see, so rates and license is the big issue same as here but they manage some how but then in saying that when convert our money into yours your looking at a lot more for beer over here than back at home for ye.

[austinite]

I always tip big.

[Bonaparte]

I delivered pizzas for the better part of 4 years to pay the bills in college, so I can answer any of your delivery-related questions

Generally, only a part of that delivery fee goes to the driver (the rest covers store operating costs), and it barely covers the gas on most runs.
Delivery drivers make somewhere between serving wages and minimum wage (~$4-$8), so if you don't tip, they are making less money while taking far more risk than any other minimum wage employee.

A standard decent tip in most areas is $3. Anything below $2 is a slap in the face, and you had better hope I don't deliver to you again (I have done unspeakable things to pizzas). $4-5 is a good tip, and anything over that is excellent. This is assuming that you live within about 5 miles of the store. Tips should reflect the distance traveled and accessibility of the location (tip extra if you live on the 4th floor), not so much the total of the bill. If I can carry it all in one trip, it doesn't matter much whether it was 1 pizza or 3. But obviously if you're ordering for a party, tip $5+.

BTW, I just watched the video and laughed SO ****ING HARD, because I've wanted to do that same thing so many times

[adamjames]

lol this is brilliant

Plus rent on the building, employees, taxes, cable TV, supplies. In Vegas you can find cheaper prices (off the Strip, of course) because gaming supplements some of the bar costs. If you are gambling, you can even drink free (like in the Strip casinos).

Good to know. I always tip at least $5 when the pizza guy comes. More in the winter, because I appreciate anyone that goes out in the cold so I don't have to.

Thats why when I was in vegas we didn't bet, can you imagine an irish man drinking and betting, I'd have no shirt left

That is EXACTLY why they provide free alcohol while you gamble. Bad decision making.

I know this Hence the fact I wasn't going to be there. I went to Vegas for the experience.
