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.Stompa0 -

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.
If the service charge hadn't been included we would have tipped. Mortgage: Was: £154,495 Oct 2039 Now: £78,465.64 April 2037Swagbucks ~ £10 (2025 ~ £240)Surveys~ £32.40 (2025 ~ £238.94)Make £2026 in 2026 #18 ~ £0 ~ (2025 ~ £2,368.64)2026 Decluttering Campaign ~ 34/20260 -

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: .0
