Poll: Do you tip waiting staff?

Let us know.

THE GOVERNMENT IS today bringing legislation through the Seanad which would effectively ban the hospitality industry from adding service charges unless the cash goes straight to the waiting staff. 

Tánaiste Leo Varadkar said the new Bill will prevent employers from using tips or gratuities to make up basic wages and to “introduce transparency about how tips and service charges are distributed”.

So, this morning we want to know: Do you tip waiting staff?


Poll Results:

Yes (8391)
Depends on the place (2308)
Only if the service was superb (1704)
No (846)
