Tip!!! When enough is enough?

What's wrong with tipping the barber.....I always leave 12 bucks for an 8 dollar haircut, except when he fucks up. Then I leave 10. He knows it too, next time my haircut is freakin awesome, and he gets 12 again.

i tip my trash guy during the holiday season. if i get a holiday bonus, shouldn't the trash guy deserve one too? 40 bucks to him and 40 to the gardener. also what's a little change to the guy behind the counter if it doesn't hurt you any. i get a 2.50 drink it ends up being 3 bucks.

I remember working at Vons, I got 7.50/Hr and I was a courtesy clerk...a bagboy. Anyway, if moms needed help with carryout because of their skawkers, I'd help them. And old people too. And some of them would tip me. For the record, you're supposed to give tips to the "management" and they put "them away in the box." So, I said fuck that, and kept the tips for myself.


I remember some guy gave me a 10 dollar trip for helping him find his tomato sauce. 😀 :Q

lol. Sounds typical of Vons management.


Lockbox.

Meh, they were probably hoping someone would get suckered into it. When you're in my position, where you scrape pennies eagerly from the floor that have been dropped about carelessly, it's incredibly hard to:
1) Turn down extra money in your face
and
2) Give it to someone who already makes $20-27/hr for telling people what to do.

So my gf and I went to buy a cup of starbuck the other day and she tipped the guy. For some reason, I sort of went off on her. Look, I'm not cheap. I always tip my fair share at restaurant even though again, I don't believe in it. However, now-a-day, you got to tip the barber, massage therapists, tour guide, etc....But it's cool, even though I don't like, I still tip all the above. But it's gotten to a point where I think is ridiculous. My gf didn't think tipping a starbuck employee was necessary but she felt "obligated" to do so and argue that it would be awkward not to....She had read some article about some so-called expert explaining tipping is appropriate to places that provides a "service.? Who decides who/when/where to tip? Is this some sort of hidden American cultural bullshit at work here? Much like how advertising subconsciously affects us and make us obligated to do things we normally wouldn't do? What next, should I feel obligated to tip the guy at McDonald because they're starting to serve McCafe now? I ask her why she felt obligated to tip a starbuck employee and not the McDonald employee..She couldn't answer..best thing she came up with was people don't tip at McDonald...No wonder for the first time in 70 years, American saving are in the negative. A penny saving is a penny earn folks...Sorry, I'm just frustrated we had to argue over this (and it's really not about the money but the way we see things) so I?m just off ranting..thanks for reading...

No! You went to Starbuck's to buy a cup of coffee. WTF is wrong with you people? That establishment does not have a product called 'starbucks'.

starbucks coffee sucks so bad, they should tip you.

I always tip the girl who cuts my hair ($7 tip on an $8 cut), delivers (round up to the nearest $5 or $10), sit-down restaurants (20%), and taxis.

anything else is more of a 'meh' kind of thing... if I drop a couple coins in the counter at the coffee place I go to, it's only because I hate carrying coins.

Tip at places where ppl's wages are DEPENDED ON IT. waitors/waitresses make $2-3 an hour and entirely depend on tips.

Starbucks? rofl. They get paid $7/hr. They're fine.

Plus stock options. QFT.

Sometimes I tip at Dunkin Donuts. If I don't have exact change and get a handful of change back I'll throw that in the cup. Or if the girl is cute! Haha!

 

[Raduque]

I don't tip anywhere I get food or drinks over a counter or through a window. Unless it's a bar. I'll tip a bartender.

 

[alkemyst]

I tip whenever I am served. What the person makes has no bearing on that.
