But does the minimum wage, post tax/ni, give waiting and kitchen staff a decent living wage? Especially considering the high cost of living in many parts of the UK.
I tip barbers and waiters 10% plus. But haven't got a taxi in the UK in a long time.
I normally tip at restaurants by adding it to the card payment, but first quietly check with the waiter that staff get all tips.
Very rarely, if a meal out was poor, for example having to go looking for staff...
