YATT: Change at a restaraunt

[TwiceOver]

Do you tip at convenience stores?

:confused;

His question isn't about tipping, it is about change given.

When delivering pizza, I found that if someone got, say, a $48 order, handing them back a ten & 2 ones would result in a $2 tip. But, handing someone a five and 7 ones would more often get a look of, "oh, you just want a bigger tip. " So, I'd pull out a small wad of money & thumb through for a ten and 2 ones, while it was obvious that I could break the 10 if necessary.

Often delivery guys around here will do that. And they count it out slooowly. I'm fine with that. Sometimes they even pause at a spot they think you'll just say keep the rest.
I avoid it by usually having the right amount including tip ready to go. Here you go, you're all set.
Or I just pick it up and avoid the whole routine.

You could just ask for change on the tip, like a normal and reasonable person.

I have to do extra stuff to give them money? No

And again...I'm a big tipper. But if they aren't considerate enough to give me the bills to tip them with, then they get whatever pocket change I have

Not everyone only has a $20 on them. Some people may have additional bills in their purse or wallet. In those cases, having $10/$1/$0.05 back isn't a problem as they can just add another buck or whatever. As others have noted, it's just natural and easier to return change with the least amount of bills/coins.

Seems like a rather odd thing to risk your tip on given the prevalence of credit cards

Next time stop and think for a second before you go all apeshit over something so trivial.

😕 I think your definition of 'apeshit' and mine are completely different

From the other end - as a customer, the better wait staff will ask, "is a 10 all right? Or do you want it broken." Or, at least, once upon a time they did that.

Uh...did you read the post? It absolutely was about the tip (and how the change given relates to the tip) and since I don't tip convenience store clerks your terrible comparison wouldn't bother me at all:

doesn't make sense when it comes to leaving a tip.

If you are a cashier, do you want to count 1 bill or 10?

You would think a server would make it as easy as possible for someone to give them larger than an 11% tip

You could just ask for change on the tip, like a normal and reasonable person.

Asking for change reasonably and being annoyed are not mutually exclusive

Well, look at the bright side, this gave you something to post about. The whole drive (or walk) back to work you were probably thinking to yourself "well shiet...I got sumthin' to post on ATOT now!"

 

[Leros]

The worst is when you pay and they ask you if you need any change. Uhm yeah... just gave you a $20 bill for a $10 meal.

I'm a big tipper.

But if the waiter/waitress does this, they get the $1.05. They obviously didn't care about their tip, neither do I.

I think the fair tip is a $1.05 and a note on a napkin to break the change down correctly for a proper tip.

That's like double tipping. :awe:

Yep! I was so giddy that I could barely type my hands were shaking so much.
