Don't tip - anywhere. There should be no need whatsoever, it's just a con. If the staff are poorly paid then that's the owner's problem and, hopefully, the staff will soon find somewhere better.
Same here. I go as far as asking for service charge to be removed from my bill.AndStilliRise said:

Like where? Waiting staff all rely on tips. Simple question, where are they all to go for these high wages?
Have you never had any kind of bonus at work?

There's this thing called the national minimum wage, maybe you've heard of it?
Do you tip the server in McDonalds?
That might be a genuine question soon...my local one has started a table delivery service whereby you order at the "kiosk" (a big vertical touch screen in the middle of the room) take a plastic number on an A frame and wait at your table for your "food" to arrive. Do you tip the server in McDonalds?
Never been in GBK - but in Nandos someone shows you to a dirty table then cleans it, hopefully not pushing old food on to your clothes.
You choose your food from a menu that was already there, then queue up to order and pay for it.
Whilst there you look on in horror at all the food on the pass cooling down, waiting to be dispatched to tables.
Next you go to another table and get your own tools, condiments and drinks, then go and sit down and wait a bit too long for your food.
If there are more than one of you someone's food will be pipng hot, the rest will be luke warm. (see food on the pass comment earlier)
And they expect a tip for this? You do all the work!
I will tip in restaurants where I receive service.
I don't tip where I do just about everything except cook and wash up.

Nando's is st. Why would I tip anyone for getting st food and even sttier service? Yes, I've only been once. That was enough.
Anywhere else then no, unless I know the money is going to the waiter/waitress, otherwise, I assume it's just lining the establishments pockets even more.
I've walked past Nando's a number of times. Always a queue of councillists outside, so never been tempted to go in.Anywhere else then no, unless I know the money is going to the waiter/waitress, otherwise, I assume it's just lining the establishments pockets even more.
