Restaurant staff should be paid more by the restaurant in the first place.

Hey Scott, maybe the reason you never get your "free" fruit is because they know you're not a tipper.

Just trying to remember the last time I could afford to go to a restaurant...if I do manage to get there, I certainly don't fork out for tips as well

I don't go running after the 20 - 50c change at a good restaraunt but I wouldn't go out of my way to give heaps more. To go out for a really nice meal here you would be looking at about $60-$80 for the entree, meal and a couple of drinks. After paying that you are almost broke so I can't give much more. (Only been out with SWMBO once in 12 months now
)
There was a small restaraunt/coffee house in my old town that had a tip jar next to the register where all tips where donated to the local charities. Apparently was the staff's decision not the management. I never minded throwing my change and a bit in there!Have a nice day - Cheers

In an expensive restaurant I expect good service. The last I remember it cost me nigh on $50- for a piece of fish that was no better than I could've bought for far less at the local takeaway. Tip 'em? For what? I practically bought the damned chair I sat in...
In a "less posh" restaurant, if I get good value I'll leave the coins... but not the notes. (So I've short arms and deep pockets; that doesn't mean I want 'em full of shrapnel. )

I normally round up to the next $5 on eftpos or leave the shrapnel if paid by cash. But if they have cheesed me off they get nuffink.
