The worst are those damn bathroom caddies. They sit there with their plethora of colognes that nobody ever uses or wants. Then they expect to be tipped because they handed you a towel after you washed your hands.

Parasites...

There is a Starbucks by my work and there is one barista that always makes my drink RIGHT when I came in. I try to tip her and she never accepts it

EverSoulicious said:

What is a barista?

violator said:

the person that works at an espresso place that makes your drink

EverSoulicious said:

That's a long way to go to avoid calling someone a server.

violator said:

well it's what they are called

The only 'baristas' I know are in court...

I am going to put a tip jar out by my doorstep!

violator said:

EverSoulicious said:

I know... I'm so corny...

violator said:

yes but you are cute so you can get away with it

I hate it when they add service charge to the bill for a small number of people
as I see it tips are a reward for good service and should be optional.

Only tip the ones that look poor or hungry.

Oh, Andrea, LMAO, I can't believe you said, "Muddone." I only ever heard that at home or in an Italian community.

Thank You!!!

My opinion is that with minimum wage being so shitty, there aren't enough tip jars.

Thankfully, in Denmark, you only tip in restaurants. And only if you think the service has been good.















Good-looking, that is.
























Just kidding. Couldn't help myself. I'd tip a studly waiter just for being hot, though.

I was talking to some ladies at work about how tip jars had gotten out of hand. I then informed everyone that I would be placing one at my sewing machine in case they wanted to donate.

Perhaps I should design and market a mini tip-jar to be worn around the neck. It could even accept credit card.

we need a physical paypal system, it could be a REAL button you wear on a necklace!

Genius.

My philosophy is this:

If there's a chance they could spit in whatever I'm going to eat or drink, I let them know in advance that I'm a big tipper.

Funny, this has been an ongoing disagreement with my wife and I. And I used to bartend. If I was quick and made good drinks then you got tiped. I didn't expect a tip for every drink I served. I don't tip someone for just doing thier job. That's what they get paid for. I tip usually about 20% but only if someone is going out of their way when serving me. Not just handing my food and leaving. These places are getting way out of hand. Even at the auto-car wash they have a tip jar. For what putting the soap on your car and pressing the button. MOFO, that's what you are paid for. I say if you need a better paying job them find one. I'm not supporting your ass for nothing.
I'm sick of the whole you should tip me cause that's how I make my living shit. Then go out of your way to earn that tip, your already getting paid to just do your job.
If a I went to a restaurant that included it for just my wife and I, I would have them remove it or not pay it. That's telling you to give you money away with no say and you don't have to pay it at all.

let's make it happen - you and me! we'll be RICH!!

The tip jars at drive-thru windows get me. What am I tipping for? Speedy service? Getting my order at all? You know what, maybe I ought to start tipping, when they get my order right, cause there have been too many times I've discovered my order was gotten wrong. Now I just sit at the window and check before driving off.

Nobody has to tip if they don't want to, but I used to work at Starbucks and those tips make a big difference. I used to get an extra 50 to 100 bucks every two weeks. I say if you feel the service was superb tip, if not, don't feel obligated to.
One thing I used to hate was people who used to treat me like a runaway slave and then tip two bucks like that made it okay.

I think you mean "barrister."

violator said:

That shit gets on my nerve, too. Like I can't go to the fuckin' bathroom by myself as a grown ass man. Frankly, I find it kinda creepy that there's some strange man watching my as I drain my main vein and then wants to "help me out" after doing so.

But the tip jar shit is getting out of control. Next, doctors are gonna have tip jars, watch.
