people it would be appropriate to tip

[rudeguy]

I'm posting in a thread about tipping to point out that no one needs to be tipped as the title suggests.

ok you made your point...now go back under your rock


back on point:

dog walker
hotel maid
babysitter

Attorney
Doctor

Um... No.

 

[Brigandier]

No, in the UK you cannot give a tip to a doctor, you can't give them money, if you try and tip a bartender they will put the money in a charity pot as they can't carry cash.

Goo god, that is bleak.

Tip always:

Servers
Pizza Delivery(even if it's only 1-2 bucks)
Hair stylist
Valet

Tip sometimes:
Any other person vying for my cash that goes way above and beyond the call of duty.

Lets create a thread of people who need to be tipped.

I'll start:
Pizza Delivery person
Anandtech moderators

Hey wipe that Brown Smudge off your nose.

I don't really understand why you would want to tip someone who picks up a bottle of beer and hands it to you...!?

If that's all your bartender does, you're going to the wrong bar.

I have one I can loan you.


Butcher (if he does a really good job)
the janitor at work

 

[sdifox]

how about cows? I mean, cow tipping is pretty fun.

It is when I buy a bottle of beer, sometimes they poor my pint, sometime (on a rare occasion) they'll make me a cocktail, normally the most effort they will put is sticking a couple of shots of something in a coke for me... Hardly worth a tip!?

Some provide some conversation, good information, free drinks, and above and beyond service, this warrants a tip, in my opinion.

Free drinks is rare, conversation isn't something I pay for, nor is information, by that logic when someone asks me for directions in the street they should give me a fiver.

You HAVE to be a troll, but I gotta be honest... I agree with you on this one. The only things at a bar that warrant tipping are mixed drinks IMO.

If I was in town, and I was desperately running late, and you provided me with keen information, I'd probably through you a few pounds for the trouble.

If the bar serves food and the bartender gets it out right when it hits the window, that warrants a little tip too.

Thanks!

Wow, I feel like we live on different planets I wouldn't even remotely take money from someone for telling them directions. Where I'm from it's called being polite, it doesn't need payment.

 

[rudeguy]

Thanks!

where I'm from, people will give you wrong directions if you don't.

 

[HAL9000]

So in America you have to pre-emptively give people money when asking for directions?!

There is only one direction you people need to give, how to get out of Grand Rapids asap ()

I'd at least offer, it's up to you to accept it.

 

[HAL9000]

I'd find it somewhat patronising. Like a charity case. Attempting to give me money for directions!

 

[Brigandier]

I'd find it somewhat patronising. Like a charity case. Attempting to give me money for directions!

And I'd find it patronizing that you found me patronizing, culminating in my saying, "Fine then, wank off, you could have had a tin of biscuits!"

 

[alfa147x]

Can we keep this on topic?

 

[Brigandier]

People that keep threads on topic.
