Ohhh cool. I will for sure tip decently if it is a local place. We have an ice cream shop which is only open during the spring and summer time where they accept tips. Not required, but am nice to them. They are all high schoolers and/or college kids looking for a job.Where I live, tipping is not mandatory, and you should only tip if the service actually was spectacular. Therefore I rarely tip, and I only tip when the service or the product was really really good.
Agreed they do try and be helpful! Think whatever you can tip is better than none IMO.I always tend to try and leave 10% even though it's not compulsory here.
I think most people in the catering industry always try to be nice and helpful.
