How much do you guys tip? I was thinking about this the other day & it dawned on me i probably tip the same now as i did over there 15 or more years ago, i think i may have gone from over tipping to under lol... BUT as the exchange rate certainly is better for us at the moment, what do you think is an ok tip? :)
-
Optional but 10-15% on a meal but only if it's what you expected or better,if not good no tip.Drinks only,usually just a bit loose change,same with taxis about 5-10 lira again based upon how long,how good the journey and the driver.
-
Like Steve I tip about the same but tip nothing if things weren't near on perfect.
Unlike Steve I never tip taxis - the Turks don't.

I'm tip the same as Scunner.

I don't tip by percentage. The fact that I've paid 55tl for a steak rather than 20tl for a burger does not need any more service from them.
Does anybody know how tips are shared among staff?
-
Taxis: Round it up
Bar: same again
Cheap Restaurant: A few lira, no more than 5%
Expensive restaurant: 5% - maybe more if the service has been outstanding.
Folks from the UK generally tip too much and it makes a lot of staff then expect high tips from the British.

Think we're guilty of that from what you've just said John! May have a re-think next time.
-
I've been guilty of it myself often enough, especially after a few rakis!

Ah, Thank you, i haven't under tipped for sure, which makes me feel better to what i was :) I will aim at what John F has outlined, maybe 5 to 10% on the meals.. Thank you All

Always 10-15% from me
-
Always?
-
I always try and tip 10-15%, however if my bill comes to 75TL and I get a 20 TLnote and a 5TL note, there is no way that I will give 20TL tip, so I give only the 5 TL as they are probably expecting me to give them the 20!! I also heard that a lot of restaurants do not give their tips to the staff (the management keep them).
-
It's worth remembering that 5TL is not much more than a pound these days - not much of a reward or appreciation :D
People who leave a lira tip - I'm sure they appreciate the 22p ;)

You're comparing UK income to Turkish income.
Anyway, "Many a mickle makes a muckle" apparently. ;)
-
22p is a derisory reward in any country
You'd need loads to make a muckle probably :D
-
Always wondered what a mickle was now I know it's 22p,wonder how much a muckle is ?
-
44p
-
So is a mickle and a muckle worth 66p then if so I'm getting the hang of this ????????????
-
Pet hate of mine - when out for a meal with friends who want the bill split up for what everyone had rather by the total divided by the number of diners aggghhhhhhhhhhhhh !!!!!!!!! :) :) :)
-
100% with you on that one Highlander! A pet hate of ours too, can turn a very pleasant evening into a nightmare >:(
-
We had the plain rice, you had pilau rice...
-
I only had one drink, you had 6 ...... ;D
-
If people want it done that way why don't they say that before ordering or is it because they are too embarrassed at being so tight :)
-
I only had one drink, you had 6 ...... ;D

-
That's because you had the 6 :)
