I mean no offense by that, but I never hear you talk about money issues and have a problem with it, I am glad to hear that you have taken care of yourself. There are many more out there that are in the mist of severe desperation and really do not know what to do next. I really think this was a fun thread talking about tip money, but the real theme is we are underpaid across the board, and we take it without lube. Reeves |

I can't believe you're actually serious:confused: I suggest we all look to Mr Pink for his wisdom http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XgBGRfSvfxY |

I'm against all forms of tipping. It seems everyone wants a tip. Where do you draw the line? Tipping the hotel van driver for something he's already getting paid for? We do the same thing as the van driver but their job requires a conciderable amount of less skill. Now dont get me started on food waiters!

That's the real problem, we need to really work on fixing that perception. Gotta get it all over the news and newspapers. People are definitely following the news, they are addicted to it. If we keep on it eventually they will understand.

I'm with those who think that a professional does not accept tips. The only people I think are the exception to this rule are waiters. And I only think that because the restaurants get away with paying them less than minimum wage because they've convinced somebody that tips are a part of their income, which is complete bovine excrement.
Even so, tipping really only seems appropriate when somebody does something for you that you could have done yourself. Waiters, cab drivers, pizza delivery drivers, and the like don't do anything that you couldn't have done. Tipping them is just a monetary "thank you" for keeping me from having to get up to get my food, drive to the airport, or go get my pizza. We do a job that our customers (typically) can't do for themselves, and therefore it's a skilled profession, and not one that should be tipped. |
