Do you tip....

Delivery drivers? I had a big delivery from Ikea today and wondered whether it's the norm to tip the delivery drivers? Also, while I'm here, do you tip your hairdresser?

    I'm the same. My excuse is I was brought up in NZ, where no one ever tips - not in restaurants, taxis, nothing. Tipping was quite a new thing to me when I came here.

    I do tip taxi drivers most of the time (although rarely take taxis anywhere!).

    10% in resturants always, more if the service was really good. We have tipped more before when our waitress was run off her feet and stressed. I felt so sorry for her and she still managed a smile and good service.

    I would round up for taxis, hairdressers etc. but I don't remember the last time I used either!

    I get quite annoyed if paying by card and don't have cash for a tip and have asked for change before instead of not leaving anything.

    I don't like tipping in this country, but will tip in restaurants etc if the service is good. H tips everyone coz he's overly nice! Different story abroad though, as you know they are being paid next to nothing and the service is often impeccable.

    I only really tip in restaurants. I'll tip my hairdresser if I've got the money to do so but often I'm skint so can't afford to be giving more.
