   I tip in restaurants IF the service is good,particularly ones I go to regularly.The waiters in one of them always give me and my guests a complimentary starter and a drink before we even look at a menu,and when they pour me a few liquoers at the end of the meal they pour about double the standard amt,as they know I always look after them.Cab drivers on the other hand get nothing from me especially when they start shuffling around in their bag pretending they cant find the right change,so I just sit there until they do,same goes for pizza delivery guys!

   i tip in UK/USA mainly because i know the staff cannot live on their pathetic and exploitative wages. That is not the case in Australia, so i certainly don't feel i HAVE to tip when there.
