Not having a go at anyone but.... Tipping is a personal choice of whether to tip or not to tip or how much you do tip. I really, really, really hate when people say you should tip a certain percentage, and if you tip less you are a bad person... as far as I'm concerned they are trying to preach and force their views onto others. We should all make are own mind up. At the end of the day tip what you feel it is worth and comfortable leaving not because some one put an arbitrary figure on a check.
Ans now back to the main show...
But in Canada and the US, if you're a party of 6 or more most restaurants do add a mandatory 18-20% gratuity automatically to your bill so that is the amount you have to tip. For parties smaller than that, it's a known fact that's the percentage expected.
It's not about comfort. It's about what is the norm in that country/society. If I went to the UK and decided not to queue for everything I do - the Tube, a museum, getting into a show, etc. people would call me a queue jumper, that I was ill-mannered, rude, etc. This is the same thing.
If you're not comfortable tipping or tipping the going rate, then don't eat at sit-down restaurants in countries where tipping is the norm and expected.
Usual suspects sticking up for p&p on the Dibb.
I don't understand how people stick up for them. They're assholes filming themselves on YouTube. Most of the paying sheep haven't even met them in person or are friends with them.
