Y'know, not places where you swipe your own card like a neanderthal?You go up, order your food, put your card into the reader, key in your PIN number, remove your card, go sit down and wait for your meal.No, I'm talking about places where you don't run your own card. Where a server gives you your bill and you place your payment in it. I'm not talking about McDonalds. Places without an ordering counter and shit. Surely those exist outside of America...Most British eating establishments are fast food and chippies. With English cuisine being as dreadful as it is, I can't blame them. Who wants to go out all dressed up and pay twenty bucks for some bangers and mash?I like English cuisine. Black pudding is one of the greatest things in the world.

It's not really a huge thing over in britbongistan <.<Waiting staff get paid minimum wage plus tips. So the tips have to be earned over here <.<It's not like they have to jump through hoops for our amusement though, just being polite and attentive is all that's needed to get a tip >.>It's certainly one of the reasons why I'm cautious about ever going to Amurika; apart from being groped by the TSA, shot in the street by the police or being suffocated by a bloater on a bus ._.From the way I hear it, if you don't tip in the USA that's the social equivalent of taking a piss on the table in the restaurant .-.

Don't you guys have any nice Italian restaurants and shit?

I'm sure there's plenty of nice eateries in the UK where you don't order at a counter.
We agree on a lot of shit, Cheat. I don't tip either.I find it amusing how people get LIVID when you say stuff like that.It's the reason I don't usually go out to eat.
In America, yes. People actually make an effort there so you want to tip them. In Europe I couldn't give less of a shit. Germany and UK is similar to America in terms of service, but not the same. But everywhere else the service is shitty. So to answer your question: Sometimes.
Do you tip servers?
