What seemed weird when I visited your country
celticgeek:
History of tipping
Method of Madness:
That's fair. It's only six quid, not worth being uncomfortable about.
Barmymoo:
You're right though, because I have a budget of a maximum £40 a week to live on (ideally £20 most weeks), so £6 is a fair chunk of that. I just wasn't confident that I was actually right about the discount and already felt awkward about not tipping.
Also, from that article - it says that touching the customer will increase your tip. Hell no. If a waiter touched me, I would not tip anything at all. Don't put your hands on me, random stranger.
Method of Madness:
True, but if you'd got the money back, I'm sure you would've handed her some of that.
LTK:
If someone expected me to tip them for a haircut it better be a really damn good haircut. Like, it should look perfect and remain that way for at least a week without me having to touch it. And looking at that billshrink page: wedding musicians, really? I get why you tip for food service - you pay for the food, and tip for the service - but the rest doesn't really make sense to me.
Also, SatW taught me another weird thing about Sweden.

I'm not sure but I think they found that effect specifically for waitresses who serve male customers.
