I don't put tips in jars unless it is convenient for me, or they did something special for me.

yeah, I don't like those tip jars at weird places either.

although I do usually just toss my change in there. I fucking change. all of it, except quarters. I about died when I went to London and they didn't have pound notes, just pound (and I think 2 pound) coins. Their notes started at 5 pounds.

I think I made some vagrant very happy my last day there I dumped all the change i had accumulated from my trip into the hat of some guy sitting out by that pirate ship on the thames. I still have an oyster card too with like almost 4 pounds on it. I meant to leave it with the dude we stayed with, but found it in my backpack when I got back to the states.

anyway, tip jars at the fucking gas station are retarded. If you want a job with perks outside your normal salary, then be a server, delivery person, or work a professional type job where you manage accounts for big companies.

When I was a Senior account manager for a telecom company I was sent gift cards and free shit from the companies all the time. Limited brand (Gap, Banana Republic, Old Navy), Abercrombie, Starbucks, Papa Johns, Hot Topic, Apple, and just general walmart and visa gift cards. Plus free candy from some famous candy shop up north and general gift/food baskets from those catalogs from my sales reps during the holidays. Still didn't make up for the measly $13/hr and hostile, abusive environment.

legally I was supposed to decline the gift cards, but no one ever did.

so yeah, those people need to stop being fucking beggers and get a better job than behind a Quizno's counter

Where you live probably accounts for tip quality.




remind me not to move to yankee land, I used to make about $700/week in tips on a
5 day work week, plus the hourly pay which brought me to around a thousand, maybe
the poor southern rednecks are just more generous when it comes to tipping




So what your saying is you made more in tips then i did working 12 hours a day 6 days a week? Excellent what did you do smuggle drugs?

he probably served good food. down in dixie if the eatin' is good and the server is nice you almost always get a fat tip. there is the exception, but i always drop at least 25%. if i don't feel like tipping i'll go eat at mcdonalds, no excuse not to tip in a sit down and get served type place

i dont do tip jars, ill put my spare nickels/pennies in ash trays in gas stations but thats about it.

because when i walk in a place like pizza hut to get a pizza made by a kid who gets paid 7$ an hour and have it handed to me by a counter clerk who does the same, i'm not in a huge rush to drop extra money in a jar for them. luckily down here tip jars are almost non existent. starbucks comes to mind but that place sucks balls

good service and quality food is my religion, at least when I work a resturant,
some of the better tips were because I steer customers away from something that
may be bad. everything is attitude, if you have a shitty outlook, you'll make
shitty money. positive attitudes will let you live.

This is a weird thing for me too. My biggest problem with the tip jars is that they're communal. I go to a deli almost everyday. If the person who makes my sandwich does a really good job and is very nice to me, then they've made my day better and I don't have a problem with throwing a dollar into the jar. But I hate that the dollar is gonna get split with a bunch of other assholes. What's the point?

I think all this tipping is a bad thing. It kinda becomes an obligation to tip.

The owners ought to pay their personnel sufficiently so there is no need for them to bother the customers with what kind-of amounts to panhandling. Better wages, no tip jar. This is how it is in Holland. If someone wants to tip its given to the employee directly who puts it in his or her pocket and that is that. No sharing with other employees.
If an employee's service truly sucks, and nothing can be done to improve that, you fire them.

A tip should be given as an exception and not expected as a social obligation. Customers should not be socially coerced to spend more money than what they came in for.

I'm generous in giving tips when the service is good. Usually I tip 10-33% when I do tip. If service sucks no tip, screw that.

Many places in Holland have a no tipping policy, to not annoy the customer and cause friction among the staff. Good policy :thumbup:


Employees should be paid better and a tip should be a truly voluntary exception.

Oh and don't EVER say: "Shall I keep the rest?" :crankey:

A tip should be given, not taken.

Isn't the tip included in the bill over there? Its called service charge or something to that effect. I'm not sure if thats the case in the UK but I've been told thats how it is in most of Europe. In the US tips are optional but customary, and tend to reflect the quality of the service.




I live in Europe and have never seen that. Eating out is a tad more expensive as waiters get much better pay, and tipping is a voluntary thing only done if service is considered exceptional.

I'm going to start carrying around a pad of post-it notes and start writing stuff like "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush" and such and put that in the tip jar.

Absolutely, it's totally different here.
Low wages are at fault I suspect.

I have worked a job with a tip jar and it was an extra $2.00 hour wages so it made a huge difference for me.

I live in a small town and frequent the same places, like where I buy coffee they see my truck pull up and start making it before I'm inside that's the type of service that deserves a tip. Our local deli I always call in my order since I don't like waiting for them to make it and it's always done and done correctly so they get a $1 every time for the good service and saving me time.

one thing I don't like is at places that you use your credit card like deli's and crap they should not have TIP AMOUNT printed on the receipt I find this annoying.
