Tipping - Page 58 - Other Topics Forum - Discuss Pop Culture, Arts and Entertainment

It's actually 4.99 delivery fee+ a .99 processing fee, of which only 3.49 goes to me. That was misadvertised when I was hired. But no wage. I've spent over $100 in gas in four days of work too. It's easier than serving for sure, but I'm beating the **** out of my car and risking my life in ****ty conditions.

I think I'm gonna quit anyway. Got a pre big boy job

If you're angry about getting one bad tip, I can't wait till you start working and realize life isn't all easy. Good luck, you're gonna need it!

you realized any of us can call her, quickly explain the situation, and have her call your boss/company.

don't worry, I've already took a screenshot in case you DO get it taken down, and will probably at least text her to tell her how you're portraying her online...

Not that I didn't deserve it, but what would compell you to care so much as to do this? Didn't get fired fwiw

bc it seems like to me, whether she ordered $80 worth of stuff or $15 or $50, it shouldn't matter to you because an extra bags is going to cost you a penny or two from the extra weight driving there at MOST.

I realize there are counters to that argument, but $80 or $10 worth of good shouldn't make much difference in tip size all things being equal and in a perfect world.

I suppose I'm curious as to either why you were pissy about $2 or if you agree order size shouldn't mean much in regards to tip siE..

I'm kind of the opposite. My tipping percentage goes down as the total price goes up. I'm probably on the upper end of tippers also.

I go to a local restaurant a couple of times a week for dinner. Order a meal and 2 beers. Total come's out to around $20 depending on if it's happy hour or not. I usually leave $30 total. So a 50% tip.

Now, I go to the same place to watch football on sundays. Am usually there 2-4 hours watching games. If I'm drinking I can usually rack up a $100 tab. I'll leave $25-$30 tip for that. So 25-30%.

I can't remember the last time I went below 20%. I don't know why I do it this way but It just makes sense to me.

Dk,

How'd you come up with that? I would have gone with 5 meals and 10 beers in 2-4 hours rather than guesstimate any conversions. Obviously this guy is not totally fabricating nonsensical numbers out of thin air, so it's important to keep numbers precise.

fair enough

I ballparked $5 a beer and $12 a meal which is still a bit on the pricy side for a gameday bar. My goal is to find $3 beers and 50 cent wings. There used to be a place like this that I went to almost every sunday, then it got bought and new management apparently thought I would be interested in paying twice as much as long as the food came on a plate instead of in a basket. They were wrong.

Am certainly interested in an itemized list of what makes up a $100 tab on typical gameday.

I'd assume the guy was buying multiple rounds for multiple people every Sunday. Only way that's possible.

Shot's, full meals, buying rounds, etc etc. It adds up haha.

Keep in mind this isn't every sunday, but when I can line up a ride home I have a tendency to go all out. When our team is winning, bar tabs can add up fast. "oh another touchdown? Who wants a shot?" that kind of thing.

Thoughts on tipping for Carside pickup at Restaurants? I have a friend who works in a restaurant and apparently most people don't tip when getting carside pickup.

Are you supposed to tip the person who shows you where your room is at a hotel? Kinda unsure of the whole hotel process where like 3 different people try to help you (bellman bringing bags from car to desk, someone at desk to check you in, then person showing you to room and offering to help with bags to room) when all I ever want is to be told what room I am in and given my key and pointed in the right direction.

Where I am at is obviously tip the person who brings the bags inside, obviously don't tip the person at desk who checks you in, and confused about the third person (obviously tip if they take your bags instead of you carrying them yourself).

I just got a delivery request to the girl I sent the passive aggressive text to. While I said to give it to someone else, I'm torn because she left a respectable pre tip this time. Just woulda been too embarrassing for me

Why is this even a question? Your employer should want you fired. Your customers should want you fired. Anyone with human decency should want you fired. Act like a low life POS and ask why people care? Grow the **** up.

Haven't even read it yet but it's bound to be good for laughs, being an lolUK newspaper and 400 comments deep already...

"Ban Tipping"

EDIT: and now I see it was an American who wrote it. Still worth it for the below the line comments, like a guy who tipped 5% on a NYC cab ride. Sheesh.
