    I think it's appalling that people are guilt tripped into tipping!

    They'd have a hard job guilt tripping me. I've never tipped, and never will tip. A ridiculous practice that needs stamping out IMO.

    10 of us went out for dinner last night, and at the bottom of the menu it said - "10% service charge will be added for groups of 5 or more" Needless to say they didn't get a tip. :p If the service charge hadn't been included we would have tipped.

  • People know that I'm tight as a duck's bum when it comes to spending... but that I have a generous spirit when it comes to my friends, family, colleagues or anyone else I make contact with.

    So they laugh when I start haggling on £85 for a new kitchen, but know that I'll buy them a drink when we go out, or more importantly I'll take the time to make them a personalised box of chocolates for their birthday. Therefore they do the same in return :)


    This might be how you view the situation, but they prob just think you are stingy :rotfl: .
