Tipping in general for British people feels awkward because we just don't know when
We don't know how much is an appropriate amount
Well let's fix that!
Let's just say I have a couple of tips
Look at that
yeah
I do comedy
when you're in England, you just generally don't tip that much right?
Ah but see this is the weird thing
we do tip, but only when the restaurant is fancy
and in those places
the waiters are probably making a pretty decent wage
if it's just a normal diner, we won't tip
which is weird
Yeah that makes less sense that feels more classist
Absolutely! it just feels awkward
You work in a diner
Yes, it's a deli though
You work in a deli
Sure do, Aly
So therefore you work for tips
I work for tips I've been working for tips for like 6 years now
What was the minimum wage?
so federally for tipped employees it's $2.13 or 15 cents
F*** that
Right so when you say "I'm working for my tips"
that's where your main money's coming from
that's for real yeah
who do we tip and how much?
What's a standard tip for a waiter/waitress?
Standard tip is probably anywhere from 15 to 20 percent
if you still want a tip and have the waiter be like "okay...
...They still tip fine: 15%"
it's like "okay"
Taxi drivers
10%
what if the fare is like $4/5?
$1 or $2
So minimum one dollar? Yeah
you see this is what British people get awkward
because we might think "oh if I give $1, that's really stingy"
If you think about it, if it's a $5 taxi ride, $1 is 20%
That's true
So, can't argue. Those are those are numbers baby
In a hotel, housekeeping people who clean your room
Leave like a few dollars on the desk before you leave
You can write a little note for housekeeping "Thank you...
...Love, YOUR NAME " You don't have to say love, but
Say love
Spread the love
See this is something we British people we don't really know, or do:
"Bellhops", people who carry a luggage
$1 or 2 per bag
if you have a lot of luggage and it's really heavy and big like $5 - $10
and if you're staying at a really fancy place they expect more money
but give what you can, don't break the bank
If you're rich though, tip them nice, tip them nice!
Something I'll never need: hair stylists / hairdressers
Why don't you need it?
20%
Also, for tattoos 20%
oh I hadn't even thought about that
See in England we would never tip a tattoo artist
maybe we do I don't have any tattoos
well except for that tramp stamp.
you still don't know about it
I can't see it. It's in my blind spot
When you're at the casino
Depending on how lucky you're getting
throw the dealer a chip
throw the cocktail waitress at a chip, $1
They come in with free drinks Yeah
and $1 is enough? $1 is fine?
They appreciate a dollar chip okay
if you're really banking some money, throw $2, $5, $10
if you like just won a million dollars, throw them $25
and your barista?
drinks my general rule is
If the drink is under $10 whether it's a at a bar
that serves alcoholic beverages
or at a cafe which serves cafe beverages
I tip $1 per drink
so bartenders: $1 a drink
Yeah, unless, if you're buying like a $14 cocktail
that takes time and effort and and it's really good as well
I'll tip $2
Here's the thing: You tip these people a little more money they're gonna pay more attention to you
your tip is a message
It's saying I see you and I appreciate your services and
There's an unspoken agreement that if I tip you a lot,
You're gonna like me more, and you're probably gonna want to treat me better
Because you know I'm gonna tip you well, but also
it's not just like you're buying this person off
it's showing some empathy
and they could give you more drinks
They could They make it a strong drink
I will guarantee that they'll make stronger drinks and give you free drinks
if that isn't incentive to tip well, what is?
So thank you Dan for educating me
Thank you
How long did it take you to think of that one?
I just did it
This is why you're a professional!
Can I have it back? Thank you
