I think you're right and the bartender did not deserve more than $3 for pouring 3 shots but otoh you should be more mad about wasting $42 and less mad about the bartender

yeah i've worked service industry but over here we have a system known as 'wages' that really prevents us having any sense of duty towards the customer

Basically I'm wondering which races/demographics you guys think tip the best and the worst
I've heard this brought up several times at parties and such and it seems like there is one in particular that always seems to stiff the workers to the point that even people of that race hate being assigned to those tables
I have my own experiences but I was wondering what you guys think
― frogbs, Monday, 20 June 2011 20:33 (fourteen years ago)
i do have another question but everyone's gonna call me a racist prick for it so first I need to ask, has anyone else here ever worked in LAS VEGAS?

I think I know what you're getting at frogbs
― iatee, Monday, 20 June 2011 20:37 (fourteen years ago)
is it the BLACKS
BLACK PEOPLE
in my somewhat limited experience this is usually an effect related to highly-localized or even neighborhood-related culture, especially in larger cities where people of different social/ethnic groups are more localized in some neighborhoods than others and tend to either have different local cultures, or they are more likely to be jerks when they leave their area
but you can go on about black people or whoever being specifically cheap and make it about race
― mh, Monday, 20 June 2011 20:37 (fourteen years ago)
no wait maybe it's lesbians

It depends on the race of the folks they're tipping though.
― boxall, Monday, 20 June 2011 20:46 (fourteen years ago)
while this thread is open I guess I'll contribute
my parents' fridge broke down earlier this year and they got a new one from sears
when they took delivery of it my dad was gonna tip em but realized that they didn't have any cash in the house since they always paid using credit card
finally my dad found $10 in ones and gave it to the two dudes (who had just shlepped in a giant refrigerator)
he tried to tell me it was okay because the one dollar bills were new from the bank and some of them were even consecutively numbered
kinda lol, kinda sad

You're talking about German tourists, right? RIGHT?
― bill magill (milo z), Monday, 20 June 2011 20:48 (fourteen years ago)
Second worst tippers: my grandparents (they're white btw)
― phantoms from a world gone by speak again the immortal tale: (Jenny), Monday, 20 June 2011 20:49 (fourteen years ago)
Third worst tippers - high school kids in large groups.

― horseshoe, Monday, 20 June 2011 20:50 (fourteen years ago)
yeah you got it pretty quickly which is making me wonder if/why this is a real stereotype, and yeah mh there's cultural differences but I've heard this SO MUCH regardless of how big the city is, and I don't think it's an issue of being cheap at all
― frogbs, Monday, 20 June 2011 20:50 (fourteen years ago)
I left some cash for my mom to tip the guys who delivered my washer/dryer, because that is a lot of work.
The dudes who dropped off my new tv, which I could easily carry by myself and wasn't a difficult task, didn't get a tip even though I agonized over it for the next day or so. Probably should have given them a $10.
― mh, Monday, 20 June 2011 20:50 (fourteen years ago)
wtf jenny some of my very best friends are white ppl fyi
― beta the drivel you know (darraghmac), Monday, 20 June 2011 20:50 (fourteen years ago)
no no no
I used to have to sneak back to the table and leave extra $$$ when I'd go out to eat with my grandfather. Now I just tell him I'm expensing the entire meal.
