If I get bad service, such as never refilling a 2 dollor cup of coffee they get no tip what so ever. I tip by the kind of service I receive, not because it is standard practice.
At places like Old County Buffet where you get everything yourself and all they do is clean the table I don't tip unless I'm with a group of people where it is more work for the clean up crew. ]]> feeds@kickapps.com (jagger) http://realitytvtalk.com/sreply/258590 Wed, 14 Oct 2009 14:22:43 PST http://realitytvtalk.com/reply/258587/t/Tipping.html#reply-258587 another ten minutes... and this was in a restaurant that was practically dead!

I love to tip with good service and a waitstaff that has personality. I don't usually go by percentage it's all in the attitdue. Crappy service = crappy tip! And I will always speak... ]]> feeds@kickapps.com (Ocean923) http://realitytvtalk.com/sreply/258583 Tue, 13 Oct 2009 23:58:42 PST http://realitytvtalk.com/reply/258581/t/Tipping.html#reply-258581
My other pet peeve is the hotel charging $18 per night for my rent car to spend the night in the hotel parking lot when I am already paying $180 per night to sleep in the room. Then there is the 10% room tax and 10% airport rent car tax that all visitors pay for the privilege of visiting a city. One time I went to Orlando for a meeting and asked if this was the "keep Shaquille O'Neil" tax when Shaq was negotiating a contract and holding... ]]> feeds@kickapps.com (skeptik) http://realitytvtalk.com/sreply/258581 Tue, 13 Oct 2009 23:03:05 PST http://realitytvtalk.com/reply/258579/t/Tipping.html#reply-258579 feeds@kickapps.com (JustGeorge) http://realitytvtalk.com/sreply/258579 Tue, 13 Oct 2009 21:42:36 PST http://realitytvtalk.com/reply/258577/t/Tipping.html#reply-258577
I certainly do not tip the counter person at a fast food place... and it may be that Miley just was not used to ordering food and didn't think of leaving a tip... but I'll bet she thinks about that in the future! ]]> feeds@kickapps.com (TigerJohn) http://realitytvtalk.com/sreply/258577 Tue, 13 Oct 2009 21:20:49 PST http://realitytvtalk.com/reply/258576/t/Tipping.html#reply-258576
Not sure where Cyrus is getting the flack from, and after her stripper pole dance at the Teen Choice Awards (or whatever) I am not her biggest defender, but if that was local, they would be too hard on her. I wouldnt' leave a tip on a take out and I like to think I'm a decent to good tipper, normally 20% for a sit down restaurant. For some reason, bartenders love me????

This new "Tip Cup" thing at some counter service places though bug me.... I never know who or what.

I do tend to leave the change to the drive through I get my coffee from every morning because it's EVERY (work) morning, and other places I go a lot.. but where is the line?

I so want to put a "Tip Cup" on my desk and see what I get.... just for laughs...

The other one is these town run recreation sports programs that parents have to pay to participate or have their kids stand outside... ]]> feeds@kickapps.com (Miss Neko) http://realitytvtalk.com/sreply/258576 Tue, 13 Oct 2009 20:20:42 PST http://realitytvtalk.com/reply/258573/t/Tipping.html#reply-258573
At a buffet, where I get my food myself and all they do is refill my drink, I usually leave around 10 to 15% begrudgingly. In a cafeteria, I don't tip. If I go pick up a phoned in to-go order, I don't tip. I don't tip at fast food places. ]]> feeds@kickapps.com (skeptik) http://realitytvtalk.com/sreply/258573 Tue, 13 Oct 2009 19:22:47 PST http://realitytvtalk.com/reply/258572/t/Tipping.html#reply-258572
Cashiers are paid a higher wage than waitstaff... Their tips are NOT estimated and reported to the government as taxable income... I generally don't tip them...

If I order take out, I go into the store and pay the cashier... No Tip... Exception is "Curbside To Go" where someone actually brings my food out to the car... ]]> feeds@kickapps.com (Rockster4) http://realitytvtalk.com/sreply/258572 Tue, 13 Oct 2009 18:59:41 PST http://realitytvtalk.com/topic/16811/t/Tipping.html
But what I have to wonder is what and who is appropriate to tip and why? From what I understand, the original concept behind tipping was to reward a service person for a good job, not a job they were already doing and getting paid for.

Now I understand tipping wait staff. If someone is bringing something to me, they deserve a little extra on top of their wages. Same goes for delivery people. Not only are they doing me a favour, they are also out of pocket if someone stiffs them, and THAT happens alot. So I don't mind giving them an extra... ]]> feeds@kickapps.com (Basileos) http://realitytvtalk.com/topic/16811 Tue, 13 Oct 2009 17:08:42 PST
