when you pay with a debit card in a

[Adam]

in a restaurant, are you meant to still leave a tip somehow?

['Butterflies']

I just pay the right ammount with my card, and leave a cash tip on the table.

Im sure you can pay it with your card, but that might be awkward for the person youre trying to tip.

[Queen Victoria]

Yes.  Just because you don't pay in cash, doesn't mean the server didn't work.  It's possible it can be added to the amount debited amount by the cashier.

You wrote restaurant, not fast food place.  If it's a FFP, then no.

['Butterflies']

I dont think anyone tips fast food takeaways here. Never seen or heard of someone tipping in McDonalds.
Pizza Hut seems to be in the middle, and people tip the workers there though.

@ QV, I'm not sure, but I think tipping in the UK is a token of appreciation, not a part of the income of the waiter. Not sure about that.
Here, in the Netherlands, all costs of preparing and serving are included in the price of what you eat. When enjoying the food, or the waiting, one can tip on top of that, as a bonus. It is not rude, or robbing someone from a proper income, to not tip.
Some places collect all the tips, to do something nice for all of the workers now and then. USA idea of tipping is very different from that, if I understand correctly.

@ Adam, I think the tip is best in physical money.

[Adam]

um I wrote restaurant yes, because I meant restaurant

I wouldn't leave a tip in McDonalds or something, except pizza hut yeh

[Adam]

and yeh afaik tipping is totally different in the US, so I meant in British restaurants

Here there is a place on the servers ticket to put the amount of the tip.

I've done that too, and been burned. The restaurant added 15% on top of my cash tip.

I wouldn't eat there again if they tipped themselves without telling me

I always wonder if those automatic tips are reflected in what the waitress actually earns or is it another way to suck more money from the customers

The latter, waitresses are terribly underpaid.

Yeah I know it was what my wife did while in college but never at a place that tacked on a 15% tip automatically just at diners. On thing about credit/debit card tips they are automatically reported as income on your taxes
