Topic	How much do you tip at a restaurant on average?
InfestedAdam 05/06/19 7:29:20 PM #2:	Probably about 17-18%. I tend to just double the taxes and round up/down from there to the nearest even dollar. For example I had all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ this past Saturday with friends. Bill was $258.87 with taxes being around $22. I ended up tipping $41.13 for an even $300. miki_sauvester posted... Also, what do you think of tipping in general? It should not be expected in my opinion. It should be extra payment for exceeding the expected work load and I feel the wages of the workers should not at all be influenced by whether or not said workers will get tipped or not. miki_sauvester posted... Do you think it should be an accepted practice in your country/area or not? Seems like a touchy subject in the States. In other countries, I've heard it is almost insulting to tip. My friend tried to tip once in Japan and the workers insisted he take back the money. As mentioned above, I'm fine with it being a practice in the States but I feel it shouldn't be expected. Whenever I go to Cold Stone for example, it baffles me a bit to find a tipping option just for them scoping some ice cream into a bowl. Kinda the same for tipping the bartender but at least with them they might give you a bit more if you they know you tip well. I can understand it with mixed drinks but not so much for pouring a beer. --- "You must gather your party before venturing forth" "Go for the eyes Boo!
