Do you tip when there is a 10% service charge?

In finer restaurants, do you tip when you see that the bill already includes 10% service charge? Assume that the service is good.|||absolutely not. but if you receive excellent service then give what they deserve.|||Absolutely not. That's what the 10% service charge is for. If the service was better than good than I might leave the loose change.|||I would if I really appreciate the service. The 10% is more like a "tax". In fact, I know of customers who demand not to pay the 10% when the service is poor. It also depends on the culture. In US and Europe for eg, I think they expect to be tip for every service they render to you. In countries like Signapore, hotels for eg ask that you do not tip for the service if there is already a service charge.|||Since I am the one who decide how much to give for a tip, I rate the amount according to how they behave towards me. As a pretty lady with a handsome man on a date, I sometimes experienced being neglected and I don't understand why there are some service staff who only speak and smile to the male costumer.|||Yup. I tip it in cash. I am somewhat skeptical that the server is receiving the 10%. I usually leave PHP20-50 (assuming there are two of us). This is usually in normal restaurants...|||Nope. It's already enclosed on your bill..|||no. but if there are coins in my change, i just leave it on the table|||yes..i give tip to the waiter if he really gives me good service and if i order extra rice, he served it immediately i give a nice tip.|||Yes because the medium tip is now 20% if the service is good. So if they add 10%, then you should just tip 10% more.|||Yes but it would be minimal.|||When the restaurants charges extra for service, that usually means you don't have to leave a tip. Personally, I leave loose change as tip when the service was good. If I have complaints regarding the service, I just pay the bill and go.|||You don't have to unless you are generous enough to give some more|||Yep.











wink-wink|||if the service is good, maybe...but the service charge is already a tip "forced" from our bill|||you don't have to, coz u already 'charged' for the tip right?





that's mean they put a price for their service so you don't have to calculate after you get the check|||Yes, but not as good as I would without the service charge (are you sure that's not just for parties of six or more--that's the norm here).
