I get tipped everytime i go to work so feel its only right to tip other tipping jobs, but i always have really. I dont know if its just me but i tip the hairdresser? but not if its [Poor language removed]. I always tip when eating out but the service has to be good/friendly. My mum came down to visit me a few weeks back and i took her out to a decent restaurant in the afternoon, it was quiet but the waiters just stood around chatting almost ignoring me when im trying to get there attention! We were the only ones in at that point ffs. Needless to say they looked a bit disgruntled when i refused to tip and asked if the service charge was optional! I wouldnt mind tipping them one bit but youve got to [Poor language removed] earn it not just expect it.
