That'll be three
I don't think that £6 an hour was that much more than a waitress. That was two years ago.

*btw* when I asked for a pay rise to be in line with the current cost of inflation I was told that to give cost of living pay rises didn't happen in other companies.

*edit* just looked up the minimum wage for when I left £5.42, therefore I was only being paid 58p an hour more. Not considerable in my book.

so would you use that to justify
tossing 65p at some poor indian bloke who lives in UTTER squalor 6 to a room in Deira (a slum where 11 men were killed in a house fire last month in an illegally partitioned flat - the landlord had split it vertically AND HORIZONTALLY)

so a table of 8 buffoons spending hundreds of pounds on a 2 hour meal where this poor fella has been running around like an idiot...

65p of a tip was fine then?

or in fact too much?

I do tip
What I have issue with is that it seems OK to tip for some jobs and not for others.
Also I doubt that anyone in the UK waiting on tables is living in such poverty.

i agree
(it seems OK to tip for some jobs and not for others)

but until such times as the situation changes these people still need the tips

and so long as its not forced - like the merkin way (above) then i reserve the right to tip well and slag off the tightwads (remember it is tightwads were talking here - the sort who on a split bill refuse to chuck in an extra pound for a three course meal being brought to them)
