DM is now offering a substantial discount on Badali jewelry.  It's the best discount of any WoT fan site. Also, I think we earn a small commission on the items sold, so it's win win for everyone.

 

Rumour has it, DM staff can possibly in the future give discount coupons on jewellery but im not sure how it works yet

[Tayol]

I dunno, do you want to buy one?

[Dunbar]

[Dunbar]

[Tayol]

[Dunbar]

Sounds like a fair deal to me!

[Tayol]

*nods*

[Dunbar]

that's... um.... well

 

<.<

[Tayol]

I think so, and its better in my pocket than theirs

[Dunbar]

well, okay! : p

[Tayol]

isnt it true though?

[Dunbar]

Nuhuh!

[eclipse0]

Standard finders fee is 10% Tay, I'd lobby for that ;)

[Tayol]

10%, its more like 5

[Dunbar]

you have to tip 12% >.>

[eclipse0]

I always tip at least 15%, 20 if the service was good.

For restaurants, I start at double the tax (15.5% - 16%, depending on the city I'm in), with a minimum of $2, and start counting dollars up depending on the quality of the service.

 

For pizza delivery and such, I round up to the nearest $5, with a minimum $3 tip. Even if it's a small order (like $13), I'll drop a $20 on 'em for the trouble of driving it over.

[Dunbar]

we don't tip in Norway

 

it's like .. a thing I do when on vacation : p

[Tayol]

would you tip if they included a 10% service charge though?

[Shendare]

Good question! Hmm... generally speaking, I've only seen services charges included with parties of certain sizes (8 or more, 10 or more, etc.), to prevent the frustration of stiffing on tips after having done so much work for such a large group.

 

In those situations, I would probably take the service charge into consideration when determining the tip, but a 10% service charge wouldn't replace a tip completely, being a bit low.

 

Now, if an establishment includes a service charge on every check regardless of party size, I would be a little put off... it's a bit out of the ordinary, and gives the feeling that you're not trusted as a customer to tip. It's possible that mild offense would reflect slightly in my tip, but I would still likely stick to my minimums.

[Tayol]

yes but if there is a people and you pay 500euro for a meal. you get charged 50 euro for the service charge, in my opinion that would be enough, even for such a large group

[Dunbar]

would you tip if they included a 10% service charge though?

 

 

NO
