My daughters, who all did bar and restaurant work as students, have me trained up. At least 10% and more if in the States. I usually leave it in cash. Remember to check the bill to see if it has already been added. Has the added advantage if you become a regular of decent tables and service.

I've never paid for beauty treatments as D is qualified. smile
Restaurants H is a very generous tipper, too much so IMO.

I'm with you, I tend to go with 10% and round up to the nearest £1.

Just returned from an indulgent morning getting a luxury pedicure in time for my holidays.
It was a Zen Spa treat with all the bells and whistles. Lovely - and very relaxing.
The final bill came to £60, all paid for by a generous birthday voucher from friends.
The therapist was delightful and I began to wonder how much to tip her. Gave her 10% = £6.
She was more than grateful. No one ever gives me so much she told me!
So did I overtip?
GN's views on modern tipping please.
