Tipping

[Flemmy Stardust]

one of my best tricks to getting better tips was pretending i couldn't count.

i would pull out a wad of singles and slowly start counting them one by one. then i'd pretend to lose my place and start over. eventually they just go "alright, alright, that's good enough".

driving was really unpredictable with how the customer was going to tip, but i think pity was always my best weapon.

there's times i'd get to a house fast as fuck in terrible weather, like a boss, and they say "man that was fast!" and hand me 2 bucks. other times i show up 45 minutes late all stressed out, apologizing up and down and get like 7 bucks.

just fyi, with pizza delivery you're not really gonna get tipped by percentage. you're gonna get anywhere from "the change" to 8 dollars. every now and then i'd have a huge order where i'd get 20 or 30 bucks, but it was rare. and theres a few people who never wanted change back - so if it was like $28, they'd hand me 40 and send me on my way. mostly it was somewhere between 1 and 8 dollars.

I'm actually going to New Zealand next month and definitely wanna hit some bars and restaurants there?

Anyone know the usual is over there?

I don't think they tip over there.

as a former server, i tip well for people who should be tipped. however, in Vegas where i live, EVERYONE wants to be tipped. that is just ridiculous. if you win at a slot machine, say $1500 for a royal flush, you are supposed to tip 10%!! fuck that!! when they want to pay 10% of my losings, i will pay 10% of my winnings. its not like a blackjack dealer where you tip for their conversation, etc. this is just the cashier bringing you the cash. fuck that, i gave $10 the one time i won that much and didnt feel i should even give that.

same thing goes for the cashiers at the cash cages and the sportsbook windows. they want to be tipped too. again, fuck that. i dont tip the cashier at the grocery store and i am not doing it at the casino. again, if they want to invest when i walk in, then i will give them a piece of the action. otherwise, no. they are not providing a service like the dealers or waitresses who should be tipped.

Not trying to start another argument with you, but I think it's funny that you called me out for not tipping, when you try your hardest to get tipped by duping people.

If I ever caught a server/driver doing some grimy shit like that, I'd be speaking to their manager in a heart beat. You can guarantee you're not getting a tip with that act.

delivery is different. i was just a dude who showed up at your door, handed you a pizza, and gave you a total. i wasn't part of some "experience" the way a waiter is.

it's not like you can read my intentions either. no one is going to call up and say "hey he pretended he couldn't count well so that i'd get frustrated and tip him more!" they just thought i was a knucklehead.

i noticed its effectiveness because i used to be really careful about not over-changing them, so i'd count slowly.

Lol scumbag.

cheat to win, brah.

if you're too frustrated to do simple subtraction/spit out a number, you deserve it. it's not like i was leaving them no options.

hey, i know it wasn't cool to do to my boss. neither is not charging refills when your table orders a shitload of soft drinks. but thems the beats in the tipping world.

Not charging for refills is usually on the menu or KNOWN that you cannot LEGALLY charge for refills on soft drinks or tea or lemonade, any of the free refillable drinks. So sorry, you are 100 BILLION PERCENT WRONG!!

So not charging for soft drinks is VERY LEGAL AND MORALLY RIGHT to do so since the *MENU* states so or the OWNER or GM says so, NOT YOU!!

usually what happened was, if they gave me a good tip and then asked if i needed the coupon, i would just say "don't worry about it". if it was a shitty tip i'd say "yeah, i'm gonna need it". I never handed them back the coupon.

As I said, you were SELFISH and did it ONLY FOR YOUR TIPS. You are ADMITTING THAT!!

Still not reading all that shit.

Because it PROVES YOU THE HELL WRONG, isn't that RIGHT LAZY?

yeah. no. waiters often do it to leverage their tips.

bartenders do it too. that shit isn't on the alcohol menu, toots.

no, i didn't do it for tips. whether it was wrong or not, i did it because they already tipped me well and i was showing gratitude. i never once did it and then the dude/broad handed me another dollar or two.

Gonna take a shot in the dark and assume she went on a rant about all the duties a server has to do "behind the scenes", while obviously not realizing that when I say "all a waitress has to do" is in the context of serving me?

Tell me I'm right?

People get awfully uptight about service positions.

No, long and short: MOST OF THE TIME WHEN YOU WAIT A LONG TIME FOR YOUR FOOD, YOUR SERVER OR ANOTHER SERVER IS AT FAULT, NOT AT ALL THE KITCHEN STAFF AND THAT IS THE GOD'S TRUTH!! YOU KNOW IT!!

who cares? this is the tipping thread, not the waitress of the year awards.

I am NOT talking about alcohol, DUHHH!! If you actual *READ* what I said, I said on refillable drinks like soft drinks or iced tea or lemonade. Servers do it ALL THE DAMN TIME, WE HAVE HAD IT DONE AT RESTAURANTS ALL THE TIME IT SEEMS NO SOFT DRINKS CHARGED ON PURPOSE, EVEN HAD SERVERS ADMIT IT EVEN!

no, i didn't do it for tips. whether it was wrong or not, i did it because they already tipped me well and i was showing gratitude. i never once did it and then the dude/broad handed me another dollar or two.

Then that is ADMITTING you did it for that, DUHHHH!!

When I worked for a large scale airline catering company I spit in food and licked all the coffee stir-straws and put them back in the box. It was ethical because I wasn't carrying an illness at the time. I saw a dude pee on the grill, twice. I never go to a manager with shit, if he has the employees back you're swappin spit with the 17yr old version of Sam Merlotte.

No one is gonna read that shit Springs, wtf do you think this is?
