tipping in general for British people
feels all crooks 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 tips oh look at that
yeah I do comedy when you’re in England
you just generally don’t tip that much
right
obviously 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 classes
absolutely
it just feels awkward you work in a
diner yes it’s a deli though you work in
a deli sure do Ally 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 two dollars 13
or 15 cents right so when you say I’m
working for my tips you’re really 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 way to be
like okay I base still tip fine 15
percent is like okay taxi drivers 10
percent what if the fare is like four
five dollars a dollar would you so
minimum one dollar yeah you see this is
what British people get awkward because
we we might think oh if I give one
dollar that’s really stingy and if you
think about it if it’s a five dollar
taxi ride $1 twenty percent it’s true
so can’t argue with those are those are
numbers baby in a hotel housekeeping
people who clean your room leave 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 not say love but say
love spread the love see this is
something we British people we don’t
really know what do ya bellhops people
who carry a luggage a dollar or two per
bag if if you have a lot of luggage and
it’s really heavy and big like five to
ten dollars 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 if you’re
rich though tip a nice tip a nice
something I’ll never need hair stylists
hairdressers won’t need it
I’d twenty percent twenty percent also
for tattoos twenty percent uh oh I
hadn’t even thought about that here seen
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 depend on how lucky again
throw the dealer a chip throw the
cocktail waitress at a chip a dollar
they come in with free drinks yeah and a
dollar it’s enough $1 fine
they appreciate a dollar chip okay if
you’re really banking some money throw
them two five ten if you like just won a
million dollars and you’ll barista with
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
adalat per drink so ball send is a
dollar drink yeah unless if you’re
buying like $14 cocktail that takes time
and effort and and it’s really good as
well I’ll tip two dollars 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 that they make it
strong I will guarantee they’ll they’ll
make stronger drinks and give you free
drinks if that is an incentive to tip
well yeah what is so thank you Dan for
educating me thank you I’m gonna take
you to think of that one it is the
