Workers to Keep 100% of Tips....

Not really, no. I usually pay for my stuff and leave.

I don't tip, no just something I've never done. Agree on that law though for people that do tip then the workers should be receiving every single penny of it

Sometimes, but not regularly. If we've had great service then yes. I remember somewhere that I worked years ago, if someone made a tip via the card machine then our boss kept it, we never saw a penny of it.

I don’t always tip, used to more I’d say. Different when you’re on holiday . Depends most restaurants have service included. Do tip hair dresser occasionally.

Very rarely give a tip. It's good that now they are keeping 100% of the tips. In my opinion, that's how it should be.

Im from hospitality industry and feel tips are an american thing. We have a minimum wage in the uk and the usa does not, hence why they need tips, we dont need them, its a nice surprise if you get a tip but i dont think it should be expected

Absolutely not! It’s a ridiculous practice to tip people for just doing their job! No other industries get tips for doing their jobs, so why should hospitality!??

Personally I only tip if i feel the staff member has gone above and beyond or had to work extra hard due to me or the party I'm with. I work in a lower paid job that many people would consider undesirable, have to deal with abuse (much worse than service jobs) yet never receive any tips. I've just come back from Canada and the tipping culture there is ridiculous, even fast food restaurants are now asking for tips and it's 20% on top of the bill which quickly adds up. Worse still you seem to still have to tip even when receiving sub par service.

I can't believe it's taken this long for the tips law to come in tbh, it's disgusting that employers were keeping some of the tips for themselves in the first place.

Can say I tip because I don't, most places now are run by an app to order food & drinks, if kids knock a drink over ect.. I'd give the worker a £5

I always tip as a former retail worker and bar manager and hairdresser. I know how much workers rely on tips to survive. Please do tip your servers. Even £1 makes a huge difference. Appreciate those who work hard to give you good service. Xx

That’s tax free! No one will do a self assessment tax form admitting to their tips. Most restaurants add a minimum of 10% for service so will they be forced to give that to staff?

Could just about afford the normal costs.

Never mind tipping

I will be much more inclined to tip if it goes into the right pocket.

Good and so they should. Bosses have said it'll effect their business. Only from a profit as they will have to pay their staff the correct wage and not use tips as part of the wage

In a restaurant we often leave a tip if the service is really good. I always ask to make sure that the money does go to the person who has served us though. If they dont get it then wont leave a tip - or leave cash if it means they can keep it

Usually, especially if the establishment doesn’t add a service charge. Wages in the UK aren’t bad, so it’s not a big thing to do here. The US, however…

In that case, I've decided I'm not going to work for a wage, I'll just work for tips now

My partner & I tip the restaurant waitress or waiter for good service, we tip the taxi driver & also the window cleaner at Christmas..

It's about time the tips went to the person providing great service & not their greedy bosses!

If I was tipped in my job, then perhaps I would tip others if a good service was provided and that’s a big if, the customer service levels in this country are certainly not what they were. If you don’t want to interact with the public don’t get a public facing job!

Now there is a minimum wage there is less of a reason to tip as wages were always historically lower in hospitality compared to other sectors. Although when I was a trainee in my day job, I did waitressing in the evenings to top my money up and my hourly rate was actually higher than my training wage so that’s always left me a bit skeptical. If we got tips that was a nice bonus but it was never expected.

It is very much American culture a friend worked over there as a waiter (granted this was some years ago) he was getting paid but the person above him was not, they had to solely reply on tips. Which I am assuming is to motivate a higher standard of service/leadership.

The government also gets a cut of the tips, they should get income tax anyways but they get VAT as well, if there is a ‘service charge’ on the bill, VAT is payable by the employer at 20% if tips are given in this mandatory way.

Keep 100% of their tips? No they will still be taxed by the government as earnings
