I would have to assume Ferengi, yes? Please keep in mind that some of my best friends are Ferengi.

hmm i know it's correct but i still amn't happy with 'are' instead of is

― beta the drivel you know (darraghmac), Monday, 20 June 2011 21:43 (fourteen years ago)

Ferengi would be my guess but I don't know much about the more obscure races.

Kalandans drive like this, but Ullians drive like this.

m-113 creature not only doesn't tip but steals the condiments too

Non-humanoid in form, Tholians have crystalline bodies, two arms, and six legs. They dwell in an environment of extreme heat by human standards, their comfortable living environment being 480 kelvins (207 °C). Temperatures below 380 K (107 °C) will kill Tholians, causing them to shatter into tiny crystalline shards. Each Tholian has both male and female sexual organs.

I reject your Trekcentric list of races. Where the hell is the option for "Hutts"?

― Shart Shaped Box (Phil D.), Monday, 20 June 2011 21:52 (fourteen years ago)

how logical is it to be a good tipper, really?

― peter in montreal, Monday, 20 June 2011 21:53 (fourteen years ago)

That depends. How much bodily fluids do you want in your food?

― Shart Shaped Box (Phil D.), Monday, 20 June 2011 21:54 (fourteen years ago)

Ferengi have this locked down, unless there was a rule of acquisition regarding tipping that I don't know about

― mh, Monday, 20 June 2011 21:57 (fourteen years ago)

A Hutt, a Kilrathi, a Sontaran and a Melmacian walked into a bar...

― sambal dalek (a passing spacecadet), Monday, 20 June 2011 21:59 (fourteen years ago)

I just can't see the Borg as good or even decent tippers.

― peter in montreal, Monday, 20 June 2011 22:01 (fourteen years ago)

Romulans cos they also brought down the property of my spacecraft

― 2012 gtfolympics (Neanderthal), Monday, 20 June 2011 22:02 (fourteen years ago)

best tippers: Q Continuum, Klingons

― peter in montreal, Monday, 20 June 2011 22:03 (fourteen years ago)

the borg only have collective property rights and no currency

tipping is irrelevant

― mh, Monday, 20 June 2011 22:04 (fourteen years ago)

I never saw anyone tipping Guinan!

― free inappropriate education (Abbbottt), Monday, 20 June 2011 22:04 (fourteen years ago)

betazoids would be good in situations where you have bad service, cuz they can sense the difference between a server who's having a bad day and a server who's just a jerk or racist or whatever.

― broke, broke, broke usher (reddening), Monday, 20 June 2011 22:05 (fourteen years ago)

why would you tip someone who only has to press a couple of buttons on a replicator?

― peter in montreal, Monday, 20 June 2011 22:07 (fourteen years ago)

or do you just tell the replicator what you want? I forget how it works

― peter in montreal, Monday, 20 June 2011 22:08 (fourteen years ago)

Gorns don't look like they wouldn't even pay, just hit you with a rock and take your food

― lots of janitors have something to say (Shakey Mo Collier), Monday, 20 June 2011 22:09 (fourteen years ago)

See it's probably humans, particularly some newbie Starfleet cadet off Earth for the first time and forgetting that not everybody has dispensed with money and some folks need to get paid.

But then like Jem'Hadar don't eat or drink or have fun so they would not only tip shitty but probably shoot you.

I think Ferengi would be good tippers! They are savvy businesspeople and savvy businesspeople know to honor the customs of the culture lest they alienate a potential business opportunity. They would never tip on Ferenginar, but they wouldn't be expected to.

Tholians have little tolerance for deception, and are insistent on punctuality. They are notoriously bad tippers.

Let's think about this. Which one of these races is least likely to have pockets?

― Jeff, Monday, 20 June 2011 22:41 (fourteen years ago)

This thread is a delight btw.

I think the Federation doesn't use currency per se, but they have member planets who covet things like Latinum? I dunno.

― mh, Monday, 20 June 2011 22:45 (fourteen years ago)

Zakdorn

For nine millenia, they were regarded by potential foes as having the greatest innately strategic minds in the galaxy

probably appreciate the value of tipping well.

There was never a lot of background information given on the new world economy. http://memory-alpha.org/wiki/New_World_Economy

Jem'Hadar have pockets, but they are filled with DEATH. And ketracel white.

Obviously it's Daleks.

― Inevitable stupid samba mix (chap), Tuesday, 21 June 2011 01:20 (fourteen years ago)

look i was just asking if the stereotype about Romulans being bad tippers existed. certainly there's a cultural explanation for it - after breaking apart from Surak's teachings they were shunned by Vulcan society and forced to live in that shithole Romulus/Remus.

I mean just look at that dump, ffs
