Tipping Etiquette

[Orikoru]

What if the barber gives you great service and you have some quality chat whilst he is cutting your hair? The product is either the meal or hair cut and the wages for waiter/barber are factored into the cost of the product, so just as much reason to tip one as the other.

I quite like my 30 mins of peace whilst getting a hair cut so don’t really engage in chat that much, but I go to the same person all of the time and he knows that so I generally round up and give him the change, which is only and extra pound

I just see it as one haircut. If he talks to me then I talk back, if he doesn't then I'll happily sit there in silence, it really doesn't bother me either way. Certainly don't feel I'd want to pay extra for him to talk to me.

I don't get the food delivered. In these current Covid times you are basically taking food from someone who is another link in the chain and has potentially handled money from people who may unknowingly have the virus. If we want anything from a takeaway, I go and collect it myself. There are enough in my area close enough to make this practical. I'm not taking any chances with my families health.

I was collecting a mcdonald's once and was told to park up and wait. I witnessed a delivery driver get out of his car holding his empty delivery bag in front of him with the lid open. What I saw next has ensured I will never use these companies...... The Dirty git, whilst walking across the car park spat over the bag. I don't mean spat directly on the bag but fired his spit over the top. How much spray would have landed inside the bag!!! ?

And that's my point. By using the delivery drivers we are adding a chain into the process of someone who is rushing around like mad trying to get the deliveries in on time. It's going to happen that people will cut corners, disobey the rules, not care. It's a chance I'm not willing to take.

What about the restaurant staff who may not wash their hands? Cough in the food etc?

I shave my own head I have to admit I'm really pleased with it so have treated myself to something as a tip

With my hairline running away from my face I think I’ll be doing this quite soon.

Wife did my last haircut and I didn't tip her to be honest.

Tough job? Walking up a street and putting paper in a hole? I've never understood why royal mail only issue shorts ?

Friend of mine is a postie. Can walk 15km or more in a shift.

In fairness, now you're playing devils advocate. I can't totally take away the risk, but I can choose to minimise it. There should be more control in the cooking area than in the delivery area.

I give the barber a quid and the binmen a tenner at Christmas.

I let my wife loose on my hair in lockdown 1, safe to say it would have looked better if a blind man did it with a spoon

Guess that's what happens when you don't tip the staff and treat them bad ?

In this modern age of Just Eat and Deliveroo etc, what is the tipping etiquette?

A couple of the local takeaways deliver, but they're the old school sort where the delivery driver takes the whole payment for the order, so rounding to the nearest £5 or £10 is easy.

With the pay-in-app sort of deliveries do you normally tip in app (assumes you will get decent service and the deliverer actually gets it), tip the deliverer a couple of quid (not sure I have a few quid in cash these days), or just go with the delivery charge?

One thing just eat and deliveroo have I didn't know

Gift vouchers

Just got a couple as a gift one for each

Tonight's and next weekends dinner sorted

Tip using the app for deliveroo just because no cash but I'll getcash for next week
