i don't see the point in tipping someone just for doing their job? Sure i have tipped once or twice when the person has clearly gone beyond their duty to help me out
If I happen to be paying cash (less frequent these days) then I will generally round up to the nearest $10 and tip the difference.
Having worked in a low paid service job through uni, I know what a big difference a few tips can make to someone in that position. Now that I can afford to tip myself, I choose to do so.
I do the odd shift as a barman at a strip club in Brisbane and some nights I would make double nearly triple the money in tips than my wage for that night. Depending on the weekend events that are on I could get $500+ in one night which is more than some of the dancers lol.
I only ever tip if I'm at a strip club (at the stage & bar) or if I know the person working the bar that I'm at. I don't beleive it to be neccessary though as the cost of everything in Aus is already heavily over-inflated.
If I receive exceptional service. My old lady is in hospitality, so I was always raised to respect good service and give a tip where the staff member has gone above and beyond.
I don't agree with automatic gratuities of 10-20%. The company should pay the correct wage. However, above average performance is worthy of a tip if the tipper wants to do so.
If we paid for restaurant meals the same ammount as the yanks, I'd ave no problem tipping, but we pay double, maybe a little more than double at times and the service does not compare.
So, NO, not a tipper.

Exactly right, my understanding is that the price of wages, rent, etc etc is factored into the meals and everytihg here which is why it is generally more expensive, in the States everything is bascially priced with the 10 - 20% tip factored in for the people who provide the service, their wages are heaps lower and rely on the tips to make up a decent wage.
US bar staff pay rates are as low as $2/hour so they have a tipping system. Our bar rates are plenty high enough so expecting tips here is ignorant. Do your job. I might tip for particularly good service but for the basic service, not necessary here.
Yeah, I hate it when the waitress looks greedily at all your change on the silver platter as you pick them up, expecting you to leave them with a bounty. I just take my time and pick them all up, piece by piece.
