    I always order more than I want just to justify getting it delivered.

    FACT.

    20% is a bit flash, £80 is a lot to tip on your average £400 meal...

    80p on a £4.00 Bob Carvers pensioners special more like.

    That's for Happy and his other half.

    Small unbattered sausage, chips and peas.

    Your apostrophe use is awesome, but your double-u use leaves a Littleton be desired, somehoo or other. :emoticon-0103-cool:

    Try tipping in a foreign currency and you don't feel the pain.

    Went to Egypt at Easter and I took 50 USD which I threw about like Monopoly money.

    I felt like John Paul Getty, got great service and had no ****ing idea what I was spending.


    Everyone got a dollar.

    Whatever they did for me.

    Bloke sprayed my feet with mint water. Have a dollar.

    Poured my wine. That's a dollar.

    Arranged to move my room so I could see the sea. Worth a dollar that.


    I even started tipping the Missus.


    It was at that point that she suggested I may have a problem.


    I ran out of dollars on day 5 and just went back to being stingy ol' Ernie.


    I can't bring meself to tip in Sterling.

    It's real money ffs.


    No one else is having mine.

    I always get takeaway on just eat. Pay up front on card, so no cash changes hands and therefore no tipping dilemma.

    Mr Pink made some valid points...

    Cos where I live all deliveries cost extra so the tip depends on how much extra but generally £1 or £2 on top of the delivery charge unless I think they are taking the pissing like one place that wanted £6.50 delivery.

    Well, using my 'everything's worth a dollar system', her service was worth a dollar.

    But between you and me I was overpaying.

    Does anyone tip at pub?

    I've heard of people doing it, and I can't get my head around it.

    It's never occurred to me to do it.

    Am I tight?

    Kinell yes. Always round up and leave coins as a tip.

    Not notes of course.

    For a national chain, Dominos are a disgrace.
    Employing human billboards who stand in the middle of City Centre hoping that none of their mates from school spot them.

    I gave the tramp who lives outside of City Hall( black fella who wears shades all year 'round- I call him Supertramp) three quid as long as I could have my photo taken with him. I was mortalled.

    Best three quid I ever spent.

    He was happy as Larry with the agreement but little did he know I'd have gone up to £6.50 if he'd played hardball.

    Only one winner there.

    One of my mates delivers for an Indian takeaway.

    £15.00 a night petrol money
    £1.30 to £2.40 per delivery depending on distance
    Plus tips that average at £1.50
    Thursday, Friday and Saturday night all cash in hand.

    **** the tip!

    I'm with Mr Pink on this one.

    After all, he knows what he's doing, he's the only person in the film who doesn't bite the dust. Spoiler alert there.
