Tipping

I'm certain it was not the person who took my order but probably the 2 jaggoffs that called in the day after the Super Bowl making everyone else work harder. Outside of that; if your a not a fun person to be around....you don't get tipped well. Most of the time I could care less how long it takes my food to get to me etc. My uncle is a pleasant man with a rather interesting way of tipping. He likes to place 10 one dollar bills on the table before he orders and says "this is your tip but one will be taken away as I choose.....and I like a lot of tea" lol. Kinda seems crappy but he always gets good service I give him that.

I've always wanted to do that type of thing with the bills on the table. Make them become more self aware of their abilities as a wait staff.

I wish I got tipped 15% as an auto mechanic

If you can't afford to tip when eating out then you can't afford to eat out.

That's what I was getting at, is I used eat out too much.

I added it up one time a few years ago what i spent a week / month and it was eye opening.

That's why I cut my own hair now lol. I got tired of paying $20 for damn hair cut. Guess that also makes me cheap.

Nothing wrong with that. I used to shave my own head for years, but recently the wife complained about it so now I have hair again. lol

Yep, did that awhile back when I started monitoring my spending. Needless to say that I don't do it much, unless it's a special occasion or someone else pays.

I go to the chain places, Sport Clips/Super Cuts. Typically $14 or so w/ a couple dollar tip. But I let me hair grow out for awhile still. Used to use a boutique my fiance still goes too, but $26 haircuts for a male getting as little cut as as I was is just ridiculous.

I've been buzzing/shaving my own head since like '08. Who cares if it's cheap you look cool! lol

And if you do it long enough your scalp will get darker and you won't look retarded. BUT....occasionally you get a sunburn. Those SUUUUUUUCK. About 4 years ago I got like a second degree sunburn on the top of my head- hurt for like 2 weeks.

My hair is already thinning out. I can think my dad for that one.

I tried going to a few chain places and they just couldn't get it right. I only had luck going to Black barbers and it's WAY too much of a hassle.

Same here, actually since more like 2006 for me.

You can tip at sonic? Lol never knew that

It's the entitlement issue again. They think they deserve a tip no matter how bad they are.

This! Most the people I see on my social media networks complaining about tips(or lack thereof) are the ones that give crappy service and expect 15% minimum.



Most of the time I'll give 15% if it's good service, and more for great service. Unless it's my sister, then she gets 0 lmao.

[M3AN 1]

I normally do 15-18%. 5-10% for crap service.
Only 1 time did I not leave a tip.
