Reply #16: Tipping question in the UK: do you tip for food in a pub?

[muriel_volestrangler]

I must admit I don't. One thing is that you don't always know if the staff will see it (after all, you paid for the food at the bar when you ordered), and some bastard might nick it; but you could tip as soon as you've finished the food, I suppose, and in a not-too-busy pub, they'd probably see it if you leave it behind when you go. Am I just using an excuse to be mean?
