um I don't think you get the point of celebrating a win

Considering you gave them the money right back, I'd say the only 'winner' was the casino

I'm more of a downloader at this point

frogbs, Monday, 20 June 2011 19:49 (twelve years ago) link

do you think I'm "just now figuring out" how casinos make their money

frogbs, Monday, 20 June 2011 19:50 (twelve years ago) link

I think you're right and the bartender did not deserve more than $3 for pouring 3 shots but otoh you should be more mad about wasting $42 and less mad about the bartender

No. There isn't one person on this board who has ever in their life worked in the service industry.

yeah i've worked service industry but over here we have a system known as 'wages' that really prevents us having any sense of duty towards the customer

beta the drivel you know (darraghmac), Monday, 20 June 2011 20:25 (twelve years ago) link

I did a lifetime ago but will never again

is this about "canadians"?

Wow, it's been a while since I heard that one.

bill magill (milo z), Monday, 20 June 2011 20:31 (twelve years ago) link

Basically I'm wondering which races/demographics you guys think tip the best and the worst

I've heard this brought up several times at parties and such and it seems like there is one in particular that always seems to stiff the workers to the point that even people of that race hate being assigned to those tables

I have my own experiences but I was wondering what you guys think

frogbs, Monday, 20 June 2011 20:33 (twelve years ago) link

i do have another question but everyone's gonna call me a racist prick for it so first I need to ask, has anyone else here ever worked in LAS VEGAS?

fixed this for you to correct for the actual variable in your story

mh, Monday, 20 June 2011 20:34 (twelve years ago) link

i have a good idea of what you're about to experience xxp

beta the drivel you know (darraghmac), Monday, 20 June 2011 20:35 (twelve years ago) link

...wow!

BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Monday, 20 June 2011 20:37 (twelve years ago) link

I think I know what you're getting at frogbs

iatee, Monday, 20 June 2011 20:37 (twelve years ago) link

is it the BLACKS

iatee, Monday, 20 June 2011 20:37 (twelve years ago) link

BLACK PEOPLE

iatee, Monday, 20 June 2011 20:37 (twelve years ago) link

I've heard this brought up several times at parties and such and it seems like there is one in particular that always seems to stiff the workers to the point that even people of that race hate being assigned to those tables

in my somewhat limited experience this is usually an effect related to highly-localized or even neighborhood-related culture, especially in larger cities where people of different social/ethnic groups are more localized in some neighborhoods than others and tend to either have different local cultures, or they are more likely to be jerks when they leave their area

but you can go on about black people or whoever being specifically cheap and make it about race

mh, Monday, 20 June 2011 20:37 (twelve years ago) link

no wait maybe it's lesbians

iatee, Monday, 20 June 2011 20:38 (twelve years ago) link

A True White Kid that can Jump (Granny Dainger), Monday, 20 June 2011 20:42 (twelve years ago) link

Rednecks are the worst tippers.

It depends on the race of the folks they're tipping though.

boxall, Monday, 20 June 2011 20:46 (twelve years ago) link

while this thread is open I guess I'll contribute

my parents' fridge broke down earlier this year and they got a new one from sears

when they took delivery of it my dad was gonna tip em but realized that they didn't have any cash in the house since they always paid using credit card

finally my dad found $10 in ones and gave it to the two dudes (who had just shlepped in a giant refrigerator)

he tried to tell me it was okay because the one dollar bills were new from the bank and some of them were even consecutively numbered

kinda lol, kinda sad

british sb power (dayo), Monday, 20 June 2011 20:47 (twelve years ago) link

boxall with a quality point

You're talking about German tourists, right? RIGHT?

bill magill (milo z), Monday, 20 June 2011 20:48 (twelve years ago) link

Second worst tippers: my grandparents (they're white btw)

phantoms from a world gone by speak again the immortal tale: (Jenny), Monday, 20 June 2011 20:49 (twelve years ago) link

Third worst tippers - high school kids in large groups.

bill magill (milo z), Monday, 20 June 2011 20:50 (twelve years ago) link

when whites do things it doesn't count

horseshoe, Monday, 20 June 2011 20:50 (twelve years ago) link

is it the BLACKS

yeah you got it pretty quickly which is making me wonder if/why this is a real stereotype, and yeah mh there's cultural differences but I've heard this SO MUCH regardless of how big the city is, and I don't think it's an issue of being cheap at all

frogbs, Monday, 20 June 2011 20:50 (twelve years ago) link

I left some cash for my mom to tip the guys who delivered my washer/dryer, because that is a lot of work.

The dudes who dropped off my new tv, which I could easily carry by myself and wasn't a difficult task, didn't get a tip even though I agonized over it for the next day or so. Probably should have given them a $10.

mh, Monday, 20 June 2011 20:50 (twelve years ago) link

wtf jenny some of my very best friends are white ppl fyi
