Speak for yourself. I'm on the old guy's side but even I want to see him fired just for the subsequent NVG LuLz.

I don't think EVERYONE needs to tip the projectionist, but SOMEONE needs to make sure he is well taken care of. Stop being such tight wads.

Oh pick me. I want to be the one that pays for everyone else for fear of being irrationally called a tight wad.

If it's a movie that you are eagerly anticipating then I don't see the big deal. For example, I'm a big Planet of the Apes of fan so I'd have no problem giving the guy a couple hundred dollars to get the new movie started. Let's get this show on the road! It has nothing to do with being labeled as a tight wad.

By contrast, I'm not a big Will Ferrell fan, so I'm not going to tip on one of his movies but he has tons of fans so the projectionist should get his and if he doesn't then there are either some really stingy movie patrons or the movie is really bad and we don't need to see it anyway.

I really hope you're joking

This is just such a poor mentality. Its like just because it's "standard" (but unethical) everyone should have to do it?

It's like, well, everyone else jumped off the cliff to their death, so i guess I have to do it also..

How is this guy going above and beyond what he is already paid to do?

Lol +1 has to be joking

How much would you tip then? Where I'm from $200-$250 is perfectly acceptable for a normal movie (not sure about IMAX).

Ok, now I see you were joking

Im really curious as to what his "grease" number is. Someone should try and give him a 1 or a 5 just to see what he does. Curious as to if he would give it back or just keep it and do nothing or (long shot here) start whichever sng you requested.

Sounds like the guy needs a smack in the teeth.

The overtipping sympathizers in this thread really, really, REALLY bother me...to the core of my humanity.

Really.

There are people in Vegas desperate for jobs.

You don't just hand out chips or bills to everyone with a hand out. The entitlement is disgraceful.

Unfortunately, we now live in an Obama run entitlement society. Welcome to the new world

I linked this thread on Twitter and mentioned @WSOPTD and @wsopSUITd. No response from either.

We're not talking overtipping, just plain tipping.

I suggest an Alka-Seltzer.

Why should anyone tip a person like this? Someone doing this would be doing his job.

Rumor: Overheard Older Guy running single table satellites was beat up and robbed shortly after leaving his shift early this morning. Hope all is well.

I'm mad as hell, and I'm not going to take it anymore!

Funny you should mention this. My old butcher told me about another fireman in his firehouse. Sensible, normal guy that was going into NYC that night. At a stoplight one of those windshield washing pests jumped up on his running board and started to do his windshield. He yelled at the guy to get off his truck but the guy refused to stop. For whatever reason, out of character the fireman had slipped his .25 automatic in his pocket before leaving home. He yelled at the guy a couple of more times getting more and more pissed as he went along. Finally, he reached out the window and grabbed the guy by his collar as he pulled the .25 out with his other hand. He stuck the gun in the guys face and started screaming "Now give me all your money." The guy started stuttering and pulled seven crumpled singles out of a pocket and threw them in the window. The fireman shoved him off the running board and drove off. My butcher, the fire chief, was laughing that the guy risked a possible 10 year sentence to prove a point.

Pro tip for driving in Manhattan: If you see that you will not make the light and you are in front stop 1/3 of a block from the light and wait for green from there. Watch homeless guy w/ rag for lols.

Make sure you have good insurance if you follow this asinine advice as you will surely be rear ended by a city bus or Jersey driver.

Yah, you should HOPE to get rear ended by a city bus and collect the sweet $$$$$ from your impossible to disprove whiplash case.

Like the bus would stop. Please don't drive in New York, there are too many people here already who don't know how to drive!
