Tipping - Page 5

It's black or white for my wife and I. Bad service, no tip. Good service, good tip.

While I consider myself to be a good tipper for sit-down restaurants, hairdressers, and service personal at Christmas, I have always been a little irked by the "tip cup" at counter places.

This reached an all new low yesterday, when I went to a SELF-SERVICE yogurt shop. In other words, I walked in, got my own cup, pulled the lever to get my own yogurt, sprinkled my own toppings, and grabbed my own spoon and napkin. I even had to weigh my own yogurt to determine the cost.

You guessed it. I go to the counter to pay, and big as day "Tips Appreciated" on a cup right next to the register! In other words, this buffoon wanted a tip simply for taking my money. He didn't do anything else for me!

Um, no. Where has all this entitlement come from?

Yes, it is rude to go to another stylist when your previous one is sitting nearby.

What rule of etiquette am I breaking if I do this? Where does a stylist get the idea that she's entitled to a lifetime commitment from me because she cut my hair once?

I was floored by the tip cup at the DD drive-thru window the other day.

We don't have Dunkin Donuts here, so that one took me a minute.

I always feel really bad when there's a tipping cup, because I rarely carry cash on me, and if I do, it's a few dollars and that's for coffee or something. I don't like throwing the left over change in the cup, because I just think that's kind of an insult. For tipping at a restaurant, I give really good tips.

Most of the pizza places I use state that the delivery service is NOT paid to the driver, I understand this, as I know a smallish place whose owner says up front that he has to pay x amount extra to keep a delivery man on at lunch hours. Rain/Snow = higher tip.

But when all the takeout person has done is bag my order, I'm not really wild about a tip. I'll give a token one, but unless you've offered me something to drink while I've waited, or taken one of your seats, I'm not very happy about it. After all, I can remember when fast food places based their wages on your getting a tip!

Regarding this, while I don't work To Go, I can say that (at least at Olive Garden) the To Go Specialist does do a lot of work. The only real difference between what he/she doesn't do for you that servers do is fill your drink and grate your cheese. The To Go Specialist does everything the same, just in a shorter amount of time. You may not want to tip the 20% I hope you like to tip, but they definitely do a fair amount of work that earns some sort of tip

Oh, you thought it was the DD boobie drive-thru? Sounds like a place k_s would frequent.

"I have your order as one Double D cup feel-up. Would you like to super-size your order for only $10 more? No? Ok, your total is $20, please pull around."

"Oh, it's you, again k_s?" $50, pull around."

You guys know people in Asia don't tip right?

As for me, it depends on how big the bill is and how good the service is.

This thread is long, and what I'm gonna say was probably said somewhere in here, but as a server I ask for you to get off your high horse and tip what you want to tip, regardless of whether or not a gratuity was added. The manager can remove it if you seriously don't want it. If the server was good enough, add more. There's nothing more pleasing, as a server, than when someone says "You did such a good job, I'm willing to add more than what your company says you deserved."

Bump because we are having a good tip/gratuity convo in the "What do you feel like saying..." thread.

I always prefer to tip with cash on the table vs. leaving the tip on my debit/credit card. I know the server is told/given the tip from my card, but I always think that when they see my cashless, recently vacated table their first words or thoughts are "oh hayle naw, that &$%^%$^ didn't tip me."

So, even when I'm leaving the tip on my card, I try to tell the server that's what I'm doing...
