Expected is BS and you can put your dollar where the sun don’t shine.
I called you a cheapskate for not tipping for the entire crew.

and the gaslight has been lit.

I’d ask if they wanted it after telling them it was all I had.

That’s how I handle my sex life, also

So, no wallet. Where do you keep your credit cards and driver’s license?

I'm big on tipping when one is expected to tip. But I can relate to this. Just about the only reason for me to carry cash anymore is to tip van drivers.

Me and my wife recently went to an Aldi's for the first time. They wanted a quarter to use the shopping cart. As in an actual quarter, for those who are unfamiliar, to put in the cart to release it to be used. I was dumbfounded. I told my wife, "let's look around but I already know I'm not going to be a regular here". Her reply was "oh come on, we can afford the quarter". And I said, "that's not the point, I don't carry change!" We found out later you get the quarter back when you're done. Still doesn't solve the issue of not having the quarter on me to begin with.

I can just shop somewhere else. No big deal. But I can't avoid using the hotel van service (unless I want to spend WAY more money) so I carry some singles when I go on a trip. I probably would tip a premium to someone that made it so I didn't have to carry the singles though.

“chubby friend?”... Are you on the spectrum? Move along. You’ve shown your backside on this thread enough already.

36.9% of the US population is obese.
41% if you’re from Mississippi
80% of freighters are obese.
So it’s not like it was a hard guess.

It’s honestly embarrassing. Have some pride everyone. You’re airline pilots. Stop looking like herded sheep as you pull out your wrinkled dollar bills for the van drivers. Do something productive and buy Bitcoin.

I go to the bank, get a hundred bucks in fives, and stick them in my bag. When the shuttle stops and my bags are offloaded, I grab a five, hand it to the driver. Easy. It's a little bit of perdiem.

Share.
