Bad service = no tip, complain to manager
Average service = no tip
Good service = small tip, say 10%
Excellent service = good tip, about 15-20% depending on how much change I have on me

Built-in service charge = no additional tip, even if I'd normally have tipped more than the built-in amount. I frequently tip 10-15% for average service as well, but don't feel obliged to.

I've been to buffets where they've charged service charge - i.e. you get up and get your own food. My friends have given me odd looks when I've said that's weird. I'm not wrong, am I?

Built-in service charge = me asking for it to be removed before I pay the bill, then I revert back to my list.

Oh god we're having this conversation....


I take it on a case by case basis, but shit service = no tip, great service = up to 20%
 
Restaurants: 10% unless service is either bad or wxcellent which can then vary from 0% to 25%

Delivery drivers: At least a quid but maxes out at £3 unless I'm in a very good mood

Cabbies: Rarely

This reminds me of that episode of Malcolm in the Middle, where louis finds out the familys favourite pizza place has been taking 15% service charge/tips in the bill and they've been giving additional tips as well



It was a good episode

I've done a playlist. Not happy with it as I had four on the go but couldn't decide what I was going for. This is the result: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAEFGjvmGX155FPhX-aU-1X6_Dxzf6f3X


"by Bernie Bigbollocks"

Got my surgery date for my sterilization set. March 7th. Such a quick turn-around on this entire affair. I'm impressed.

Yeah that's bullshit. You get shitty service in those places anyway. Buffets are cattle markets, where the customers are the cattle. Maybe get rid of unwanted change in the tip jar or something.

I do hate how tip culture forces them to check "is everything okay?" more than once. Ask me once three minutes into my main course. No more. You may ask "was everything okay?" when collecting plates.

Suariyu are you planning on freezing sperm or anything? Pretty cool its organized so quickly. Enjoy your limp ;p
Hell no. Sperm freezing is expensive, especially if you're sure you'll never want to use it.

I'll adopt if I suddenly want children. Raising a child makes it yours, not genetics.

2013 quickly shaping up to be the best year ever, obviously. The year I kill the chance of unwanted children!

You should make sure it takes before, err...

Hope it is less troublesome than mine was: doing crossword in the waiting room the answer to 11 down was "excruciating", then got this jocular doctor who fancied his one-liners - "just a little prick sir" yeah thanks.

bitch I'm taking calls.
"Don't worry I'm sterilized"

Ratio of people that believe you directly proportional to chance of contracting an STI.

Or I'll just not bring it up until I'm at a serious stage of the relationship anyway. Practice safe sex, kids!

True, or pills/implants. I understand the neccessity of condoms if you're a bed hopping singleton, but the pill is good enough for the Snivs. No freakouts yet, touch wood. Actually slightly concerned it's cos I'm a jaffa, but not concerned enough to go dickspew in a cup to find out...

Failure rate of pill and implant is 1 in 100.

I assume you've slept with the Mrs Sniv on more than 100 occasions, so you're likely on borrowed time.

Just thought you'd like to know.

Yeah I know, which is why I am occasionally concerned that I have no swimmers :p but then, just because the odds are 1 in 100 it doesn't mean that it will def happen 1 out of 100 times, or people would be accidentally getting preggers all over the shop. Even condoms have a slightly less than 1% failure rate.
 

Jackben

Girl doesn't want to put a ton of drugs in her body that might affect sex drive or weight or mood but we stopped using condoms six months ago. I just pull out.

Except that isn't what the failure rate means. The generally-quoted failure rate is not per sexual encounter but per 100 woman-years.

So if he's slept with Mrs sniv for 100 years he's on borrowed time. So chances are he isn't.

Seriously? Oh well that's much better, I'm only 10% through my 100 years. I have learned something valuable today, thanks!
