tipping

but do you tipple an extra dollar a drink, even if it's an overpriced can of PBR?

Its included in dublin prices, believe me

I just watched two students from Switzerland tip the cashier at Burger King

how much?

I couldn't tell, it was a "keep the change" situation but dude counted out a specific amount of money (including coins), pushed it across the counter and was like "no, I'm all set" and then turned to his friend like "see, I got this tipping thing!"

I am pretty sure they then went to sit down before their food was ready.

<3

have you any idea what a burger king costs in zurich tho

That's the thing I didn't get; Burger King is in Switzerland, right? Surely it works the same way there as it does here?

i been to mcdonalds there, the concept is certainly the same there, except you pay p much restaurant prices.

maybe they just got confused

Just a case of "In America you tip at restaurants, in Europe you don't" I guess.

^this. I tipped a kid in my building when he helped me carry my suitcase up the stairs, I could hear him yelling "That guy just gave me money!" afterwards

ha yeah i tried to tip my doorman early on when i moved here (he took a pretty elaborate delivery for me). he lolled at me when i tried to give him the money.

he won't be lolling when i give him $5 at xmas, let me tell you.

They don't call it a quarter pounder with cheese?

royale with cheese iirc?

Bartender:"You gave me too much." when I tipped her. hahahahahaha

that's classic

you don't have to tip on planes in the 1950s (was at a dinner party at the weekend and this was handed round for some reason and I thought of ilx)

well this has taken a strange turn - particularly how the restaurant claims they have the original receipt and comped a meal to ensure she was tipped, yet the Visa statement shows the 111.55 amount.

movers? two dudes and a van. $30 each? $50?

Awesome night out at Texas Roadhouse..got a great chest pump while eating there, I'll explain.

I forgot I was wearing my tank top ( Ha ha jk, but not to show off ) and the girls working were begging to see me in action. I seriously refused until the whole right section of the roadhouse was cheering me on, so had no choice. They had 2 of these huge beer kegs in the back. I'm not an expert on weight but I can guarantee you they were at least 175 pounds, so 400 together. So I'm laying on the broiler and I repped out at least 16 deep presses, while the waitresses are feeling my calves haha gotta love it. I could tell the guy who was my server was pissed and can only imagine his anger when he checked my receipt. Just another night out as a wealthy bodybuilder.

#NOTIPS #lightweight #noSPOTnoTIPS

Ahhahaha what the fuuuuuuck!!

Somewhat-unrelated: I just started working as a parking attendant/security guard & already two people have tipped me for MAKING THEM MOVE THEIR CARS--wtf, drunk rich guys!

One dude was like "hey, good lookin out, somebody might've tried to tow me!" -- I didn't have the heart to tell him that I am the one who calls the tow company in that scenario

Haha. Sounds like a promising career in racketeering.

I tipped the plumber this weekend, but looked it up online afterwards and learned that you probably don't have to.

shoulda been all "I AM THE ONE WHO KNOCKS, I MEAN CALLS"

Had to buy a new dishwasher this past weekend. It was delivered and installed today. The delivery arrived separately from the guy who actually hooked up the electrics and plumbing a few hours later. I only had a single $5 bill on hand because I'm a piece of shit. I ended up tipping the installer, because he did more work, but I'm thinking I should have tipped the delivery guys instead, because they probably have a lower base wage.

fuck this nonnnsense

right, here, so.

tipping doorman twenty bucks is OK y/n?

but thing is its a different doorman to the guy we had all week.

how's that work.

haha I think ilx might not be the right place for that particular question

at a hotel?

assume the new guy thinks you tipped the old guy and and that the old guy thinks you tipped the new guy - do not tip anyone

Honest question: why are you tipping a doorman?

I use to get occasional tips (buck or two) from customers when I worked at a video rental store. Always erased their late fees after that!

20 bucks seems steep unless he's coordinating some class-A drug deals or similar

Does he *make* doors? That might be worth a little more, too.

apt block. over the week we got directions,help with facilities, general tips on neighbourhood so yknow we felt guilted into paying him extra for doing his job becos America

oh and eh idk if this complicates things, right, but the guy we ended up tipping was white and the guy who helped us out all week for nothing was black.

maybe I should start a new thread.

Race shouldn't matter

I'd say if you saw the guy who was a big help you could tip him if you liked him

But if it was a guy who you had never seen before I wouldn't have tipped him
