THE MAJORITY of voters in today's Evening Mail debate today said that they would tip restaurant staff on some occasions.
This comes after the business secretary said waiting-on staff should receive their tips in full and it should be clearer to customers that gratuities are optional.
Sajid Javid said a tip had to "go to the people you intended it to go to" and announced proposals to stop or limit employer deductions from tips.
It follows claims that some restaurant chains were regularly holding back some or all of the tips meant for staff.
Do you tip in restaurants?
As of 4pm today, 44% of voters said that they would tip staff sometimes, 33% said that they would always leave a tip, and 22% said they would never leave a tip.
