I deliver food for a local restaurant and I had a delivery today to the front desk of a hotel a few blocks away. The check was for something like $8.90 and she tells me that since she is broke and is going to have to give me 90 cents in change. Then she tells me she is going to 'hook' me up next time. The problem is Ive gone there about 3 previous times and she has never tipped me anything more than just rounding it up the next dollar (ie she would give me $9 for the $8.90 bill). What is she going to do...toss me an extra dime next time?

She last ordered last week so Im sure she remembered me. Does she actually think Id believe her? I can live with someone not tipping but why do they have to promise me a large tip next time when they know they arent going to?

Because she'd rather not tell you the truth that you're not gonna get an extra cent from her.

She's promising you the tip so you won't spit in her food.

Spitting should be the least of her concerns at this point :evil:

WTF. Paying with a check? Is she a deadbeat or something? I pay cash only on deliveries, or ccard over the phone if I call into like Dominos or something. Never check, I HATE checks, I hate people that write them and waste time on piddly crap like that.

Ha, I could never do that. Im not going to try to get any revenge on her or anything. I just wont be in any sort of hurry next time. I usually make any stops for gas, drinks or piss breaks before known non-tippers. I also make sure I take the turns really fast :)

Sorry, I didnt mean that kinda check. I should have said her bill was $8.90. We dont take checks unless the owner knows them and even then she hates them. Too many people bounce them.

Uh-uh. I don't tip.


NICE GUY EDDIE
Whaddaya mean you don't tip?


MR. WHITE
I don't believe in it.


NICE GUY EDDIE

MR. PINK
(laughing)
I love this kid, he's a madman,
this guy.


MR. BLONDE
Do you have any idea what these
ladies make? They make sh!t.


MR. WHITE
Don't give me that. She don't
make enough money, she can quit.


NICE GUY EDDIE
I don't even know a Jew who'd have
the balls to say that. So let's
get this straight. You never ever
tip?


MR. WHITE
I don't tip because society says I
gotta. I tip when somebody
deserves a tip. When somebody
really puts forth an effort, they
deserve a little something extra.
But this tipping automatically,
that sh!t's for the birds. As far
as I'm concerned, they're just
doin their job.


MR. BLUE
Our girl was nice.


MR. WHITE
Our girl was okay. She didn't do
anything special.


MR. BLONDE
What's something special, take ya
in the kitchen and suck your d!ck?
