PeteMorris Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 I just wondered what Sheffielders think of the stereotype Yorkshireman being a bit tight...or even frugal with money! Do you tip at restaurants? Tip the pizza delivery guy? Tip a taxi driver?.....etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geared Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Tip at restaurants (10-15%) but I don't see the need to tip the pizza delivery guy or a taxi driver. This isn't America. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You tip for good service in the UK as NO ONE's pay includes their tips. I always tip good service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeteMorris Posted October 17, 2012 Author Share Posted October 17, 2012 I tip at restaurants, taxis, pizza delivery....all of em, and probably more that I can't remember. Why? Because I've done all of those jobs and it's poor pay, and tips are part of your income! However when I was once delivering a pizza's if the cost was say £10.99 and they gave me £11...and said keep the change!....I used to insist on giving them the penny, saying you obviously need it more than I do!...It's was very annoying!

PeteMorris Posted October 17, 2012 Author Share Posted October 17, 2012 You tip for good service in the UK as NO ONE's pay includes their tips. I always tip good service. It becomes part of their wages in reality though! As most of those jobs are such poor pay anyway! But I agree with the good service proviso!

garypeacock Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 What's the difference? (mischief making ) For example I recently paid over 50 quids for a pair of trainers for my daughter, so I'm not tight. But I come out in a clod sweat when I have to pay nearly £30 for a pair myself, therefore, I'm frugal. I remember in the 70's when poor kids like me wore converse (black and white only). Now they're nearly £45, unbelievable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
