First of all you don't have to tip and when you do it is completely up to you how much. If I am just drinking bottled beer I won't tip everytime either. But basically ask yourself would you rather pay $3.50 a pint over the course of a night and toss the guy 3-5 dollars cumulatively for his "good" service or pay $6 or more per draft and not be expected to tip at all? It is providing you the same product cheaper and in theory with better service.

8 beers at 3.50 plus a total of 4 dollars in tip (assuming good service) = $32
8 beers at 6 dollars = $48

seems pretty simple math to me

My oldest daughter 18 is a waitress in a pub and started on 18 and now gets about 22 per hr and 33 on holidays more on the big ones! Not many tips though,maybe 1 a month is all.

It seems that a lot of service staff in the U.S. only earn $2.13 an hour as a basic hourly rate. No doubt that they deserve to be tipped working for that.

The U.S. system seems to be very different from that of the U.K. and I struggle to see the merit in it really. Though I'm sure it might work out well for those working in places doing good business.

I usually give a tip to my barber. I don't give tips in small restaurants and in restaurants where the price of the food is enormously high. MY wife doesn't give tips at all so I like dating with her.;D

Regarding the wages for service staff in the US, I thought working in the US is very compensating. Now that I know how people are being paid there, I'll be forced to take the CIA (Certified Internal Auditor) examination before going there so as to get a decent pay.;)

The minimum wage is higher than that for other jobs, but it seems the bartending and waiting jobs are stuck with that horrible 2 bucks an hour thing.

Do people tip in the Philippines generally? I don't remember me nor my Philippino friends tipping in restaurants and bars when I was there.

I was in this great carvery place in Manilla where you paid a certain amount and you could refill your plate as much as you wanted just so long as you cleared your plate each time. Lots of roast beef and chicken! Top quality. I don't recall any tips, but it was quite expensive for Manilla.

Yes, you need to give a tip in high class hotels like Manila Hotel, etc. Hehehe.

LOL. That's what you call "eat all you can" bro. In my place here, there is a restaurant where you pay only P200 ($4) and you may eat all you can. ;D;D;D

That's a dangerous wish! You wouldn't be here if my mom did not procreate me. LOL;D;D;D
