 Tipping etiquette - zippy
Good service at a pub last Sunday for lunch, about 180 miles round trip from home (visiting Miss Z).

We got there late and some items had run out. One of our party was disappointed as they wanted the pork (for the crackling) but it had gone.

Waitress had heard the comment and brought out a sheet of crackling. Also pigs in blankets were and cauliflower were extra "sides". We ordered 1 or each and the waitress made sure there were enough for 4 to share - bigger portions than other tables.

4 dinners were £70 plus about £15 for soft drinks. I was happy to leave a £10 tip for the service.

I do think tipping is getting silly. It used to be rounding up taxi fares to the next pound, not 10%.
Takeaway drivers got a £1 or £2. Not 10% of the bill that Uber or Deliveroo suggests - they're not serving it!
