Back from my one week holiday from the 23rd to now. Took mom to vietnamese restaurant, liked the bill so I tipped 15%. What'd I miss?


Idk where you live or your financial situation, but 15% is just an average tip. If you really want to show appreciation 20% or more is how you tip. Where I am anyway. Poor waitpeoples.

Also you missed dxp and that's about it.

Welcome back JC!

I was told recently that 15% is usually what is expected as an American tip - also isn't the tip added onto the bill??


On another note, well event - I find each event seems to be harder and harder to complete without buying into it - honestly this event I have spent many, many hours - pretty much all my hours outside of sleep and work down a hole - I only work parttime and sleep very little - so that's a hell of a lot of time in-game which I wouldn't normally do. Thankfully I am just watching Netflix or in the forums while I'm trying to complete the event. There would be no way in hell if my children were in my care (fathers week) that I would be able to complete it - two or three hours a night wouldn't cut it, you would need to buy into it if you want the rewards. The only reason I am doing it really is this is dung xp, as it's a skill that I am not that into, even though the sword looks wicked and the pet is fantastic - I do hope to be able to complete it - it is a sad way to expect a lot of players to buy to be able to complete, very sad!
If fat means flavour then I'm ******* delicious!

Yea 15% is the standard for tipping but 20% if you really enjoyed the service provided, also depends on where you're at too sometimes. Richsie places and stuff where the waiting is top notch, deffo 20%. Pizza shops and stuff lower than med-high class restaurants is entirely up to you but usually I'd go 15% standard, 20 if the looks like the food was cooked well and the waiter/waitress wasn't a stuck up teenie.

I work in the restaurant industry and you’d be surprised how terrible people tip...


Can confirm. Back when I used to work at a restaurant I had a coworker get completely stiffed. The customers were friends of the owner and ate over $100 of food for free, then they left a $5 tip lol.

My ex girlfriend's mother was always terrible for this. When she DID bother to tip it'd be something insulting like 5%, but usually she'd just complain about the service no matter what and say terrible things about the waitstaff. I hated going out to dinner with her, she'd always pick the priciest, poshest restaurant and then act like a total jerk. When I was able I'd always try and sneak the waitstaff a tip without her seeing lol.

Glad I dodged the bullet on those in-laws :P
