Default I dont
Its stange I know but we dont tip..but always compliment good service which appears worth more than money!

We have a very busy cafe in the summer and have lots of tourists along with 60 odd cruise ships coming to Dunedin.
Ok the girls get tips left for them on tables which they put in the tin but generally its a small percentage- I am please to say because we dont wont to go that way...
Must admit, Americans have never tipped to my knowledge.
Could be because they pay by plastic.

Locals never tip.

Staff get looked after and of the 39 ( yes, almost at 40 now) staff we have employed since we have opened they all have the customer service thrown at them from me.
