Tipping is weird. I rarely ever do it. Here i think the only time when anyone does tip is if you're at a restaurant/bar having a meal then you tip the waiter/ess, getting food delivered, or in a taxi. I'd say the restaurant/bar thing is probably the only real time if you didn't tip you'd look like an ass. Otherwise there is no real pressure to tip.

To me the price advertised is the price I pay. Simple as that. If I get a taxi that cost £10 then that's what I pay. If i order a take out for £12.34 then that's what I pay and not a penny more. If you can't pay your workers a proper wage then it's not my fault. It's embarrassing and degrading having your workers stand there waiting and basically begging for money. Treat them better and show them some respect. Raise your prices if you need to. If my taxi is now £12 or my take out is now £14.34 then fine I'll pay it but don't try to pull a fast one by passing it on to me.

Be the same here, some delivery drivers if I'll be ordering again and the ones you listed if the service was good.

Otherwise things are expensive enough for tips and they get a wage and don't have to rely on tips unlike America. If a service was shit with anything, I won't tip. You're not expected to anyway. Also in hotels, I won't tip for minor things. Might tip when leaving but if I tip in a hotel it would generally be in the bar and I've rarely stayed in the hotel bar.

Gave tips a few times to police (guards). Assholes gave me court summons back in retrurn to testify as witness. In those cases though it was only because something serious happened to a member of the public.

Classic one I heard screaming out my window, opened the window to tell them to shut up. Body on ground, 2 forgeign girls. I went down to help (dude looked murdered), police came dismissed them and I got stuck with this dude pissing blood out his head. My tip there would be never get involved. Threatened me with a search warrant (Ihad been asleep).

aww i had an incident with my car and i spoke to the police. wish i hadn't. was sent to so many court dates over the course of 3 years and it was just a waste of time because every time i'd get sent home due to being rescheduled. it was thrown out and i never got the money back i had to spend repairing the car. it was like £80 so it could've been a lot worse but still it's £80 i'll never see again. a complete waste of time and money.

if the police want to talk to me again then i'm not doing it. maybe it's something super serious like someone being assaulted/killed then yeah i wouldn't mind at all. but in my case it was a stupid little kid who smashed up 10 cars when high on drugs.

I feel ya dude, just harassment for helping and a complete waste of time.

Why dismiss the girls that were first at the scene and dump me with it? Never again.
