How much tip do you leave?

I give a 15% tip when the service is good, which it usually is. When they are extremely good and helpful I than give them 20%. I have a little card in my wallet to tell me what the tip is for the 15% or 20% for up too $100.00 dollars.

hi there bounce, here in the Philippines we are not like oblige to leave a tip because on the receipt there is already a "service fee" indicated from the food we ordered. It was like 10% and there is another EVAT (tax in it). So for me, it is not necessary but still, I could leave some bucks if I want to.

Hello there! I don't usually go to a restaurant. The food is made at home and sometimes we might have some take away food, but we really only go to a restaurant if we are going somewhere on a holiday, cause that's where we would eat for dinner. Well there is always the option of not tipping at all, because it isn't a legal requirement, but it would show some respect to the people serving you the food. Most people just give a couple of dollars a tip. If you had a big meal you might want to tip a little bit more than you usually do, but once again, that is all totally upto you.

As one respondent here says, there is an amount of percentage for sales tax included in the restaurant bill. It is not considered "compulsory" for us to give tips to waiters. It really depends on the giver ... whether he is satisfied with the service or just generous so as not to feel awkward going out of the restaurant. For myself, I usually leave an amount for the waiter. Whether is it reasonable or not, I didn't look back to check on the waiter's face, lol.
