Tipping etiquette

Annoyingly if you order from McDonalds via their app (who use Uber as their delivery people) there is an option to give a tip to the driver. This is even before you place your order. I'd prefer it if the tip option came up after delivery.

Seen this loads too, asking for a tip before the job is actually done, like wtf :D
 
I disagree as to be honest this is exactly the scenario when you could tip - i.e. you pay 50 quid for getting the job done however if the guy has gone above and beyond to exceed expectations then you could tip if you feel like it but optionally.

But that's what I paid for. I even paid for a "bolt on" worth an extra £8 so I could hop on a 10 mins teams call with him to fine tune the document.
 
I spent a couple of weeks in Mexico sadly surrounded by obnoxious yanks all waving $1 bills around like they we're Hugh Heffner.

Awful, not a fan of tipping at all.

Pretty sure we had a thread on this but can't find it :confused:


Anyway, just paid £80 for a spreadsheet on Fiverr.com, and Fiverr then asked if I'd like to tip the guy who created the spreadsheet. I literally just paid the guy and it's asking if I want to tip him, what the hell is that all about? :confused:

Was it better than expected? Did they do it quicker than you paid for?

If so i'd probably tip a couple quid, of not then I wouldn't.
 
I think tipping is an awful practice

fair days work for a fair days pay. if a company does not pay their staff properly then they should be forced to.
and as for encouraging staff to do their job properly. .. well that is where pay rises and bonuses...... or disciplinary and sacking should come in.

alas that isn't the world we live in. some staff are paid really poorly so I do tend to tip a small amount sometimes. not the 15% that some people expect. and it really cheeses me off when you are a large group and the table waiter / waitress expects like £100 top or something (some places automatically add it on). a tip should be a small thankyou not a huge chunk of their nightly earnings. if they are looking after a large number of tables per night then that is profiteering.

yeah, it's a complete luxury so maybe an extra few quid won't hurt, same with food deliveries etc tbh...it's not like you're ordering a takeaway to save money
