tipping

it's not the autotip that's dumb, it's the fact that servers are legally allowed to be paid below-poverty-level wages (just reiterating the obvious here)

but if tips are mandatory u miss out on the karma boost

i love auto-gratuity because it makes it so easy to leave super-tip

Canadians are pretty blah, Phil.

Here's a tip: screw you! ;)

Whoa, whoa, whoa! Keep it down with that salty Canadian language.

I knew right after I posted that I couldn't have come up with a more Canadian joke, sigh. But I tip well at least.

canadians are pretty eh, phil

lol at FFM thinking she's "canadian"

lol at mh thinking I'm a "she"

Lol at all of you for thinking this is not a dream

I didn't know "she" was a euphemism when it came to tipping!

I worked at headquarters for a buffet chain that re-classed many of their employees as "servers" so they could legally reduce their pay below minimum wage.

Can you imagine working a minimum wage job and getting the memo that your wage was being cut?

How did they make them servers? In addition to their standard tasks like restocking the buffet and cleaning tables, they were made to pour coffee, offer deserts, and do a few other server tasks, and had their wages cut for it.

A buffet chain! Have you ever seen someone tip at a buffet chain?

yup; all of my older relatives who were on fixed incomes loved buffet chains (yours in particular) and would always tip 15% on their meals

upon thinking abt this, i am pretty sure it's an april fool. i was all ready for a vitriolic thread, too.

it's def an april fool, woulda been better if they used a reasonable $ figure

Just yesterday, for instance, I wrote some adorkable emails to coworkers that I spent all day on, and I felt like my creative juices were just flowing like boxed wine at book club.

hahaha yesssssss

I am tipping you in Coca Cola Rewards codes.

fuckin' dot biz

This is what all my friend's kids are getting in their Christmas cards.

Do you tip at dim sum? I would have thought yes but the dude from china I was eating with said no, and the person behind the counter crossed out the tip line on the credit card thing

in general Chinese people are not used to tipping

only white people feel so entitled to give/receive tips

It felt so wrong not tipping when I was in HK. My brain just cannot compute.

how much would you tip on an $18 cocktail. asking for a friend

I think it depends on the context, like if it's $18 cause the place is ripping you off or if it's $18 because it's some crazy drink that involves lots of preparation

I would never pay $18 for a cocktail.

I would run out of the place and never go back.

I always tip $1 per drink if ordering at the bar. This is partially to encourage establishments to avoid having $18 drinks.

Waterface is NOT gabbneb

doi

just had a mental image of a dude with a water face and a blended haircut and needed a lol pause

tip $4

Dear Jehovah what is this mess

like the notion i've got of your never having seen either of the first two coasts. or apparently not knowing what a blended haircut is. but thanks for your personal comments.

Why are there more than two coasts?

R.I.P. ilx ski team.

The United States borders on three oceans, btw.

I guess it's more of "the first two" coasts than anything else. Along with the raw vibe & attitude.

Dude was real, he put it out there.

the raw vibe & attitude

as part of the american elite, gabnebb was informed of our near-term plans to conquer india

wanted to bring some bicoastal attitude, couldn't let the opportunity slide to lord it over people who aint never heard of the third coast tho, complicated move, awkward execution, i give it a 5.5

you're remarkably ill-informed about which parts of the US face water, waterface

You know what's weird is you're not the first person to mention that.

lol! you're alright, kid.

Thanks pardner

i would tip $2 on that drink but i would never order it.

tipping on a drink you're not ordering is hella generous, mr bigshot over here
