When tipping is enjoyable 
(Topic ID: 334467)
Quoted from centerflank:Funny these peeps can produce 7-10K cash for a pin purchase but a paltry dinner bill for cash throws them into a tizzy.
Pinball companies are charging $7K to $10K for pins now, so we must all be paying those prices? I have experienced this type of logic somewhere else recently.

Theres no logic since hes not even understanding the type of tipping most of us are bitching about.
Quoted from Haymaker:Theres no logic since hes not even understanding the type of tipping most of us are bitching about.
No I completely understand you ladies are having issues
Quoted from Haymaker:Just tip for everything ever or you're a baby. Got it.
see we are making progress 
Quoted from poppapin:Sometimes its the other way around, no cash, card only. F that, lost my business.
Love the Pot Belly sandwich shops in Las Vegas. Card only, no cash. Get this, no tip option on the card reader/display. But, there is a cash tip bucket between both card readers.

I don't recall him being so damn crusty?
Quoted from ultimategameroom:...She ordered a hot fudge sundae with vanilla ice cream. The young numb skull waitress asked if she wanted hot fudge on it!
Not as bad as the scatter brained teeny bopper at a BK drive thru that told me my coupon for a free Whopper wasn't as good of a deal as the special they were running.
I hit up Biscuitville whenever I'm running through NC. Biscuits and bacon just like grandma's. Staff, dumb as shi*. For the big platter, the menu says plain as day "this, this, this or this, this, this , this. Add sausage gravy for 50 cents more. Nope, in the Biscuitville vernacular, add really means substitute. Supervisor would not turn around and read the sign, because she couldn't read. What a boob...

Crustier than a week old baguette, which I would also leave a tip for.

Quoted from Jamesays:tipping fatigue.There was actually a report on the news discussing this.
The news is pretty much unwatchable these days.

Its been repetitive and unwatchable for atleast 10 years.I just want to know whats going on ,not be told opinions.

Cable news is not actual news. It's really opinion talk radio, but on television.
People just love watching and listening to what they already believe. Facts are irrelevant.
Some viewers will even boycott a network if they don't hear what they want to hear.

I have absolutely zero issue tapping 0% or no tip or whatever it is... I will do it without hesitation and if there happens to be an employee there they can give me whatever look they want and if it's something I don't like, I don't have to visit their establishment again. It's really that simple. It's not my job to pay a workers salary so unless you're waiting on me at a table, bringing food to my door, or parking my car, then you get nothing.

Do your own checkout and tip the store for your work!
I went to a salvage yard a couple days ago for an alternator. $35, 90K miles on it, 120 day warranty. Perfect for the car it's going in. Paid my money. "Just wait outside, he'll bring it to you". So I wait outside. Big ass bulldozer with forks eventually takes a CR-V to the garage. Half-hour later out comes a fella with my alternator. I shoulda' tipped him. It was hot that day. You just don't know how you are getting the part. I have no idea how they only charg $35 for that?

The real money is disposing of bodies for the mafia. Salvage parts are just for show and don't have to break even.
It's really rude not to tip when dropping off a body, with or without a car. Be sure to tip generously then. Especially if the body is someone well known.
Quoted from MrBally:Bottled water is only $7.99 at a showroom on The Strip. A deal compared to the "disCOuNt" Old Fashioned that was served in an 8 oz. glass.....
Plus tip....

Another thing I'm getting tired of are surveys. Perhaps a topic for another thread, but not much to say except that everyone bugs you with a survey. I don't see any improvements as a result of them, only poorer and poorer customer service and product.

I see the surveys as a way for companies to see if their cost/service ratio has dropped low enough for people to notice and respond yet.
"Hey did we waste enough of your time? Could we spend even less and you wouldn't notice?.....No comment? Great! We'll do another round of layoffs/offshoring and increase our margins further."
You know you're a pinsider when the radio is talking about tipping being out of control and you think about this thread...
Concert t-shirt, the cashier had a tip button for the task of scanning a barcode.
CVS asking for donations at checkout, every day I hear John Mulaney saying "Give us some money!!"

Don't get me started about the time I was in theaters watching cars 2 and spilled beans on myself...

Just got back from England. Holy frik, it was soooo nice not to deal with the tipping nonsense. Half the places I ate at had a 10 percent service charge automatically built into the tab, the other half not and it was optional to tip around 10 percent......FOR actual waitstaff service! None of the back and forth BS with your credit card and the register either. By law, they have to swipe the card in front of you. It was also refreshing not to have your tab delivered at the same time your meal is delivered..... imagine that. Flew back to US and was immediately greeted by a self checkout screen asking me to tip 20 percent for a sandwich at the news kiosk. Serenity now.
Saw this the other night. This guy wanted a bigger tip. I think he he got a 20% tip so I’m not sure why he was complaining.
Quoted from MrBally:At the MSP airport. Letting you know to fill the tip jar or add it to your cc charge... .

Get the AMEX Platinum card and enjoy the Centurions or (when flying Delta) the Delta Skyclubs for free.
If self service kiosks start asking for tips, you should be able to squeeze super glue across the keyboard and into the card holder. They need to be stopped.
Quoted from hAbO:Saw this the other night. This guy wanted a bigger tip. I think he he got a 20% tip so I’m not sure why he was complaining.
Hope he gets fired, I would have called door dash and got the tip revoked (dispute with CC or something) especially for the obscenity.
Edit, saw he did get fired. I had only saw the door cam video before.
I don’t tip at all by default since we don’t eat out…did you know that simply speaking releases thousands of spit particles per word?
Now pay attention to how much your food prepares are speaking while preparing your food…or how many words your server speaks after setting your plates down below their mouth onto your dining table.
Yuck!!!
I buy my food at the sto and cook at home…all organic!!
Quoted from RandomGuyOffCL:I buy my food at the store and cook at home…all organic!!
Seriously - that’s the way to do it.
I know it’s just become a habit for all my friends stateside to eat out all the time - but it’s cheaper and healthier to make food at home. And no drink driving. 
Eating out used to be only for special occasions, or as a treat - remember when you were a kid and you’d go to McDonald’s for a birthday party or something. Somewhere along the way, people just got used to doing it all the time. Maybe it’s a psychological “treat” to yourself. Who knows.

A service charge is pretty unusual to be honest - unless it’s in a Hotel chain.
I can’t remember the last time I saw one outside of the States.

Door Dash promptly fired him.
