Kegluneq posted:Would you also say that you'd be expected to leave your seat for the journey to be concluded? Yes. Much like how I leave my seat once I have finished eating at a restaurant. The service in both cases has been rendered without me needing to leave my seat and therefore both are eligible for a tip according to my UK Tipping Code. If the taxi driver asked me to fill his or her car up with petrol while he or she popped in for a bounty bar then that would be different.

Edit: too late - pissflaps already made the same point. But then you have to stand up to leave the restaurant after you finish your meal, it's not like they carry you in and out on sedan chairs. I hate tipping though, it's a minefield of social anxiety. Do I tip in Costa if we get cooked food that they have to bring over? What about hair dressers? And I'm going for a massage on the weekend, do I tip? I've never had one before so no idea. Is compromising by tipping badly when I'm not sure whether to or not worse than not doing it at all? It's a stupid system.

So in news not related to Pissflaps - why is it that the panel on Question Time is always Brexit supporters? Then everyone in the audience is a Brexit supporter too, it feels. I can't get over the guy last week saying that the US wouldn't submit to a currency/political union when that's pretty much what the US was in the first place, it's insane. If you just watched question time you'd definitely think we're heading for Brexit and there are no good arguments against it.

It's a stupid system. Costa is easy: you had to go to the counter to order your sandwich so no tip for them. Hair dresser is a tricky one i pay enough already and the manager does mine so i dont tip. Tip the masseuse if you get a happy ending.

Guavanaut posted:There's usually a flat fee per transaction of 20p or something, plus a couple of % on top of that. I think that varies between credit and debit though. That's why a lot of corner shops have a charge for transactions below £5 or so, but some bars seem to charge it as a flat thing for using a card at all. There's generally a charge provided from both the card provider and the card reader supplier. Places sticking on a 50p charge and that is going to die out as more and more people don't use cash, I suspect most places will knock up prices a little and scrap charging. Pissflaps posted:Costa is easy: you had to go to the counter to order your sandwich so no tip for them. If I feel like I've had good service i will tip, after asking if the server gets to keep their tips, I wont tip if it goes to the company. We keep our own tips but each give around about a fifth to a pool that is split between glass collectors as they wont get tipped but are probably the most important job in the pub.

EdBlackadder posted:Jesus Christ that has changed. I can vouch that Moorings used to be a great bar but what you describe is nothing like the Moorings. Cocktails? When I went the only menu was for the beer you couldn't see in the fridge. Camrath posted:Jesus- I used to regularly drink in the Moorings back in the early noughties, and totally failed to recognise it from your picture or description. Well I don't know what it was like in the noughties but I've been drinking there for six years and it honestly hasn't changed all that much- there's been a refurbishment, expanded stage area, and the cocktails are all pint sized tikis that are essentially excuses for shoving a shitload of rum together with something sweet tasting. The idea was to get away from the association with a "dangerous harbour bar full of bikers" it used to have and still has with some people, especially now that every other pub seems to be closing down. The usual crowd is still there though, and the jukebox has only grown its selection. Probably gotten a fair bit pricier though so might be worthwhile getting a regular's card.

Much like when the audience was half junior doctors, Brexit supporters want to show up and argue their case while I've yet to see an In supporter who was enthusiastic enough about staying in that they'd want to flood Question Time to ask questions about it. Question Time pretty much caters to angry people and the one saving grace of the EU chat is seeing people getting ridiculously emotional about things they clearly have no clue about.

I've applied twice to question time and they've said no both times, asking Pro-EU questions. It'd be nice to at least see some people in the panel refute what others are saying on there. It feels like it's Brexit, Pro EU, Brexit for every question. Since they've got the last word every single time, it's like they're winning. And Gauvanaut - yep, we're one too. Plenty of places are smaller things that join larger things to have more power and it would be nice if the Wetherspoons guy was called out for his nonsense.

My father in law once said something about getting lots of tips one day at his job working at the dump, which really confused me until I realised that his tips came from people up there scavenging for loot (so basically people buying crap that other people had dumped)

Tipping is a terrible principle that legitimises poor wages and forces customers to pay the excess while dressing it up as an polite extra bonus for good service. However by not tipping you only hurt those being shat on already. It should be banned and staff paid better but lol that's not happening. So you either don't tip and gently caress the workers or you do tip and help the capitalists there is no correct response sorry.
