    Default Just the tip.

    So, I don't get tips all that often, and if I do, it's usually a dollar or a few quarters, so today when I saw someone put a 5 in the tip jar I was really happy. Then the person behind him in line came up to the register, realised he didn't have enough money, and took the money out of my tip jar. With me standing about 4 feet away. After paying he then proceeded to put the change in his pocket, and walked out without leaving a tip.

    Am I justified in feeling disgusted? I think so.
    This guy now officially tops my list of bad tippers, right above the old lady who told me I reminded her of her no good son and then dropped a penny in the jar.

    Anyways, topic is tips, both great and terrible, and your favorite and least favorite customers.

    I've gone back to my job as a bagger last month. My job is basically tips only, so I don't get any hourly wages. However, I have to say that the customers usually tip pretty good. Most of the time, I get about 3 dollars, but every so often, I'd get $5, or more. One time, I took someone out, and they tipped me $20 for several bags. It's pretty awesome, and I'm glad to be making some money. I usually don't like it when customers don't tip me, but it doesn't happen very often. :P Also, bugger that dude that took the money from your tip jar, he had no right to take it.

    Apparently, I have been declared banished.

    I'm pretty sure what that man did was called stealing.

    I am, typically, a good tipper so long as you deserve it. I do not subscribe to the notion that a tip is always necessary because in some situations it is not. If you do your job and deserve some extra money, then you will get it. But do not act like a complete ditz or fail in a specific aspect of your job and still expect to garnish a tip from me. The highest tip I left was while I was at a restaurant with a friend of mine. The waitress was attentive, attractive, and knew what she was doing. I think we left her a $40 tip on a $25 bill.

    I would risk my job over five dollars if some one straight-up stole it... you should have.

    I tip 15-20% for adequate-excellent service respectively.

    I got handed at $100 bill on Christmas Eve-Day when I worked at Sonic. I asked the dude three times if he was serious or not cause I couldn't believe it.

    Worst tips were the bitches who ordered the 98 cent 44 ounce drinks and told me to "keep the change." Wanted to throw it at their stupid BMW SUVs as they were pulling away.

    Also, as a barista, it pissed me the hell off when people would order four stupidly elaborate drinks and then rush off without leaving tips. Tip your barista, dammit!

    I tip everyone, even if they didn't give me great service. I tip when I pick up to-go food. Usually the restaurant service is okay and not spectacular, but I don't think my server needs to polish my shoes in order to receive a tip.

    I think we all know the answer to this.

    Tipping is weird. Why don't we just pay people the wages they're entitled to?

    They see me rolling. They hating, patrolling.

    WHAT. Pay people enough money so that they can survive on their troutty jobs alone and don't need to prostrate and degrade themselves for the enjoyment of arsehole customers? ARE YOU INSANE?!

    Maybe it's not the same anymore but to my understanding waitresses get paid below minimum wage in some areas.

    I tip 10%, more if the service is awesome at restaurants. For services (hair, or spa treatments) I tend to tip between 15 - 20%

    I tip 20% as a standard if you do your job. If you don't do your job, I don't leave you trout. If you piss me off I will say something to you about it. If you do an awesome job and I have money I will sometimes tip double my bill.

    Signature by rubah. I think.
