How much do you tip? *YG*

Hiya USM!!

I have always wonder how much does other people tip when they have pizza deliver to them. My mom usually tips 2 to 3 dollars. How much do you tip? Does that amount seem right to you? How much do you tip when going to a restaurant? My mom usually tips 5-15 dollars. Usually she goes by the amount the check came too. I have not seen her tip high than $15 though.

Date: 2/11/2005 12:38:00 PM  From Authorid: 62579    15% of the bill  
Date: 2/11/2005 12:41:00 PM  From Authorid: 62675    $ 1-3 for pizza delivery and up to 35% when dining out. Depends on the service!  
Date: 2/11/2005 12:43:00 PM  From Authorid: 28946    I tip 15% to 30% depending on the quality of the service.  
Date: 2/11/2005 12:45:00 PM  From Authorid: 55251    Depends. $10 seems reasonable at a restaurant. For pizza, I would say about 2-5   
Date: 2/11/2005 12:54:00 PM  From Authorid: 17081    2 or 3 bucks for pizza or at restaurant. about 3 or 4 dollars for haircut  
Date: 2/11/2005 12:55:00 PM  From Authorid: 62146    I don't tip it is pretty uncommon to tip in australia it is somthing how the aconamy works or somthing.  
Date: 2/11/2005 12:58:00 PM  From Authorid: 23075    It depends usually on the restaraunt, the service and the food. usually we tip 20 percent...buthave beenknown to tip higher  
Date: 2/11/2005 1:02:00 PM  From Authorid: 47218    a couple bucks at most, for the pizza. The delivery guy already makes a regular wage. I sorta agree with Lighthouse though-- I'm already paying an exhorbant amount for the pizza, and I'm paying a delivery charge... why am I expected to tip for someone leaving a box at my door?  
Date: 2/11/2005 1:16:00 PM  From Authorid: 51070    I never order pizza, so I don't ever have to tip. But when I get my hair cut, I usually tip the hairdresser $10. She's a friend of the family, too, so it's only polite.   
Date: 2/11/2005 1:24:00 PM  From Authorid: 62998    depends on the price, I don't have a standard tip amount. For a pizza, say its $15.78 after tax, I would make a check for $19.00. Dinning out, if the bill comes to $45.60, I would make it for $60. I tip well. - Typo Demon  
Date: 2/11/2005 1:28:00 PM  From Authorid: 62998    OH for the pizza when I order, having been a driver, Store Manager, and General Manager. I know what drivers make. Also The delivery charge does not all go to the driver. I worked for Papa John's (no charge for Delievery) we gave the drivers 0.15% of their total amount delivered for mileage. - Typo Demon  
Date: 2/11/2005 1:31:00 PM  From Authorid: 60685    I tip 15%, maybe a tad more depending on how good the service was. As for pizza I would tip 2 dollars the most, they always take forever.  
Date: 2/11/2005 2:10:00 PM  From Authorid: 53909    Hmm, We rarely order pizza anymore since my hubby works at a pizza place.  
Date: 2/11/2005 2:22:00 PM  From Authorid: 46527    Depends on the service, 10 - 20% usually  
Date: 2/11/2005 2:52:00 PM  From Authorid: 35720    At a restaurant, I usually leave a 5 or 10 dollar tip.. if the service was exceptional, I might give closer to 20. I usually give the pizza guy a 3-5 dollar tip.  
Date: 2/11/2005 3:03:00 PM  From Authorid: 58078    When delivery comes to the house usually its 2-3 bucks...if its bad weather..5. When I go out to a restaurant I tip 20%. Unless the service is REALLY bad...then a little less.  
Date: 2/11/2005 3:06:00 PM  From Authorid: 58078    What happened to Lighthouses comment that Molly is talking about? Am I the only one not seeing it?  
Date: 2/11/2005 3:10:00 PM  From Authorid: 15904    Bob gets on airplane, sally joins bob. Bob wants to get off airplane...he does. sally is still on the airplane. that's what happened to my comment, andrea  
Date: 2/11/2005 3:40:00 PM  From Authorid: 62383    back when i delivered pizza I liked tips of at least $2. Pizza guys go through a lot sometimes lol... like I was in lightning storms and I thought I was going to be killed... it was sad when I got stiffed then. Mostly I got tips between $2-$5. I ussually tip them 2 or 3. Resturants it depends on how much we spend. The 15% rule is pretty good though. If there are a lot of us we all give a couple bucks each.   
Date: 2/11/2005 3:41:00 PM  From Authorid: 7574    I tip well..My friends went out and spent $50 on dinner and we left a $9 tip..Yikes.  
Date: 2/11/2005 3:42:00 PM  From Authorid: 7574    I forgot to mention that I'm always really thirsty...I'll go through like 4 glasses of water a meal and I always request food weird because I'm a picky eater.  
Date: 2/11/2005 4:02:00 PM  From Authorid: 3835    I tip 25% of the total cost of the bill I am given by the waitress. I then add an extra bit for the disposition of the waitress/waiter, how good the meal was served, friendliness, not having to wait on another cup of coffee, the conversation the wait staff held with my table gathering, Lol.. and that amount varies on top of the 25% according to how I felt the service was that I recieved. My highest tip was 45.00 once, on top of the 25% of the total bill. I gave a benefit for a friend and we had reservations at a elite club restaurant. There were 8 of us in that party. That waitress walked into a tip that went over 150.00 that night, with the additions of the other guests that added to it. She was awesome and deserved every bit of it (-: The reason I tip so much is because all my younger years, my Mother was a waitress and I know first hand what she went through all the time, good and bad days. I learned from her the many times you have to paint on a happy front to do your job. I applaud anyone who can do that line of work, they are all blessed in my opinion, so I can have a lazy night for a change. I am an extravagant tipper, always have been...  
Date: 2/11/2005 4:02:00 PM  From Authorid: 28946    I found an article that says 15% is what waitresses should be given as a tip. There is also a chart that shows how much the other tips should be. http://www.tipping.org/tips/TipsPageRestaurant.html  
Date: 2/11/2005 4:09:00 PM  From Authorid: 63011    Depends on how much money I have. I usually tip pizza guys $2-$4. Since I work in a restaurant and know what it's like, I try to tip more than 15%, unless I just dont have much money to leave more. -GreenClover  
Date: 2/11/2005 4:38:00 PM  From Authorid: 52141    Depends on the whens wheres how much and how well we were treated.. for pizza delivery i usually get say something that costs around 15-18 bucks give a 20 tell him to keep the change at a resteraunt.. normal is 5-6dollars at a reg sit down like a chinese buffet but say i go to outback steak house i'd leave maybe 8-12 dollars.. tho i've left a 25cent tip before.. waitress was horrible.. :P  
Date: 2/11/2005 4:48:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 38406    LOL! Icy Sparks!My mom left a tip of 2 dollars once when we went out to dinner. The witness was terrible. It took her 20 to 30 minutes to get our bill and she did not even get our order right and she was no where to be found so we ate anyways.  
Date: 2/11/2005 5:40:00 PM  From Authorid: 62100    For pizza delivery, I tip $2..  
Date: 2/11/2005 6:07:00 PM  From Authorid: 22852    the least I tip is 20% the most is 50% depending on service {yes I used to be a waitress LOL} as for the pizza, well we live to far out for delivery but if I have it delivered to the school I tip 3 or 4 dollars.  
Date: 2/11/2005 10:54:00 PM  From Authorid: 26452    It depends on how nice the waitress is, hos much money I have, and what the ticket comes to. Although some places I am a regular, and have 2 waitresses that I've grown rather close to, so they always get a good tip.  
Date: 2/11/2005 11:01:00 PM  From Authorid: 19382    I don't.  
Date: 2/11/2005 11:42:00 PM  From Authorid: 53558    To tell you the truth, I have no idea..  
Date: 2/12/2005 10:20:00 AM  From Authorid: 27046    Anything other lower than 20% of the bill with the exception of catered events is cheap.
