Mercer Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Noticed a lot of what I consider non-tippable service situations now are asking for a tip. Like people in drive throughs, takeout, etc. Even have a local owner/operator taco truck that has that annoying credit card system that says what do you want to tip? 20% 15% or custom. I mean I'll overtip for table service, or if you're delivering, but not if you're just handing me a bag I ordered and paid for online. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overall for what I bought or had done they made good money from me. Heard dude cursing from the road because he wasn't going to be able to back his shit up to the door, then saw him attempt the impossible task to push/pull 2 pieces of equipment at once. Good entertainment. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Man Banned Posted December 23, 2021 Author Share Posted December 23, 2021 Dilemma of course is you pay a good amount for delivery but does the guy delivering see much of that? If so, no tip would seem correct. But then you don't know what they're getting. Eh. BTW, did your delivery include the install or you did that yourself?

mr.yuck Posted December 25, 2021 Share Posted December 25, 2021 (edited) [laughing=Lol]. This whole thread reminds me of a conversation I had with my carpet guy a few years ago. At one point he was installing carpet for Lowe’s, I think. So, when he would get to peoples houses and do their install moving their furniture around and lugging these heavy ass rolls of carpet up stairs, people would inevitably tell him “I can’t believe you are doing all this for free,” because they got “free” install. He said the first time he was like “what the fuck are you talkin about? Of course I’m getting paid!” But then it kept happening, so, he changed his answer to “It is what it is,” while looking really sad. He said people would start tipping him anywhere from $20-$100 per job on top of a day where he was already making $300-$500.

Scares me lol A good method to test is to use soapy water in a spray bottle to spray any joints before disconnecting them and after reconnecting them and turning the gas back on. This will prevent most avoidable accidents from happening. No smoking around gas lines. ...... obviously. 😄 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark_Knight Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Picked up a pizza during a blizzard the other day. They didn’t have that “leave a tip” option for checking out. I respected that and will be going back strictly because of that. #FuckTips2022 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ndv Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 You know, I often wonder if the tips are actually split between the employees or are these businesses keeping the extra money? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Man Banned Posted May 3, 2022 Author Share Posted May 3, 2022 That's kind of always been the case though, do they actually get the tips? Mostly I think so, but I also don't believe that it's a rarity that tips are kept from workers. Also places like Chinese restaurants where a worker might be trafficked and is paying off a debt, maybe a tip goes toward the debt or maybe the owner just keeps it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morton Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 Front of house keeps the tips is the standard for restaurants. I chatted with a guy who was being trafficked by my landlord years ago, he was getting room and board and working like 12 hours a day for it doing handyman type stuff and maybe working in the Thai joint the same people owned. He was really bad at the work having never been trained or anything of the sort. Funny, I never even really considered snitching out the owners, hopefully the awareness campaigns are changing that. I think that I regret not doing anything about it, have not thought about dude for at least a decade, skinny chainsmoker with a superman tattoo. I guess they kept him in smokes also. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
