I'm away on buisness in London and work have kindly placed me in a swanky hotel (the kind where people in smart uniform open the entrace doors and everybody calls you "sir")

However because I work for the public sector the rules (and amount) on expenses is very strict. I.e I'll just about have enough money to feed myself.

So do I tip off my own back or do I just go about my buisness. As a Northerner I'd be tempted to follow the don't tip path.

So what does OCUK, southerners and northerns alike think? Now excuse me whilst I go back to my pint of ale curtesy of Her Magesties Government.
 
I'd tip them :) but I'm lovely like that :)

Don't tip much, isn't there a advised percent you're supposed to tip.

Tipping should be the exception rather than the rule. It acknowledges 'outstanding' service.

I totally agree.

Which most people don't give, got some weird kebab stuff in my chips the other night, wasn't even ordering kebab and they glared when I give them the correct change.

Probably not, don't think i'll be going there again though, big dollop of weird sauce in my chips, I think i'll stick to the chinese, they don't put weird stuff in my food (that I know of)

Hahahaha. Imagine their faces. A dirty Northerner flops his penis (no doubt covered in coal dust) in their manicured soft hands :)

Only Asims.
 
I've had a couple of occasions recently where the waiter has asked if I want to leave a tip. I think this is downright rude and I purposely declined.

The last time it happened, I was in a self service restaurant :confused:
 
Well if you want to tip, do so; if not, don't. You're getting a free meal so I don't see why you wouldn't.
 
Some times the waiters and waitresses dont get the tip. So i think if your going to leave a tip, ask them if they will recieve it. Otherwise it's a waste just handing it over to the place where you've just ate.
 
I don't understand why it's such a big deal to be called "sir"? I'd expect it in a restaurant or a hotel or by a member of civil services.

As for tipping, if something is worthy of a tip, tip, if not then don't.
