tipping

Assuming a felon can get another job and all.

Don't die. A beer can come in any size -- there's a place on the LES that serves rounds of 11 10-milliliter shots of beer -- but if you go to a beer-centric bar they are aware of what a pint is. The first place I happened to check specifies 20-ounce pints on their menu (because they're Britishy) but I don't think being standard is that uncommon.

there's something about the way you tell these stories that makes me side with your asshole customers over you.

maybe it's because i wouldn't feel like tipping someone with obvious anger issues particularly generously.

I believe this is happening to me.

still tippin' on four vogues

I don't like the implications in this thread that sitting at home drinking makes one a loser. That is something I do try to be considerate about: not going out to eat/going to bars/ordering in if I can't tip. (Tho sometimes I'll walk to the neighborhood restaurant and get to go without tipping. I think this is okay, altho I know when my sister worked Outback "to go" she got mad tippage, but I think this was because she was bending over to talk to men through their car windows to show off her grande tits. Well.)

I think , tho, it is well & good to generously tip pizza/food delivery people, esp. since gas costs so much and you are saving gas $$$. This is esp. nice if you don't have a car, or are drunk from thriftily drinking in your own home at a highly discounted rate, that they can bring this food to you and an extra $5 is not much. Now, if only Wing Stop had delivery people...

lol rev

I grew up thinking that tipping was real so I'm still kinda disbelieving that it's an urban legend.

thankfully it is real, it is how they explain our minimum wage. though luckily irish tax people aren't very good at making us cough up a declaration of cash earnings. they'ved nabbed our credit card ones though, so if in doubt, always do cash. unless you are all for the taxing which i'd understand. Really, I'm torn.

Don't feel bad, Abbott, you are doing the right thing by only going out when tipping is in the budget.

I don't feel bad except, just now, I looked at the bank account on the online and apparently the bar did NOT add the tip I wrote down on my receipt for my credit car tab. !!!! Why would they not do that? The man getting tipped was the one working & ringing it up.

I wish they delivered groceries here...I would tip a good $10 at least.

Background info: I went to a bar last night. My friend had never tried midori sours and I was like, 'wtf, you did go to college, right?' And now I have CORRUPTED her into liking the cheerleader drink, mwahaha.

How are you feeling about tipping this week?

haha maybe not

for me it's pretty simple - you tip because the waitstaff (here at least) get less than minimum wage, and if the 10 or so servers in rotation were each paid an extra $2 an hour to bring it into line, the price of the food you're eating would inevitably be more. so, tip because if other people didn't, you'd have to pay more anyways. other tippers are subsidizing your meal, in a way.
