TIPPING IS PLAIN STUPID!
BOTTOM LINE:
So why do we allow this scam, in the form/system of "tipping," to go on by our participation in this practice? Easy! Mainly because of the massive social pressure on us to do so.

Also, there is the vanity aspect--we ourselves, love to tip-- "put on the dog," as they say --by impressing ourselves and others in our demonstarted generosity and ability to reward, handsomely, those "underlings" --yes, perceived underlings, if you care to be honest with yourself about it--even though said underlings may easily be pocketing higher wages than you yourself and for less effort.

And, their employers are laughing at all of us while they are quite content with their lower operating costs, as they, and the IRS, manipulate the whole scene to their personal advantage.

What If.... All costs of going out for meals, etc.--both goods and services--were included in the cost as listed--just like most other things. No tips, surcharges, gratuities, no BS!, whatever...
WHAT A CONCEPT!!!

WAKE UP AMERICA!

He and his girlfriend went to a resteraunt and once the waitress found out they counldn't speak french, she was very rude and not very helpful. They foolishly left two dollars as a tip on the table and once they went to pay the bill to the waitress, she held out her hand expecting a tip. He told her that he left it on the table. When I asked why he gave her a tip in the first place, his response was "It was only two dollars". I'm not against tipping, but I don't believe in the practice of automatic tipping. I get a lot of slack from a lot of people because I don't tip but I still refuse to give in because they are just doing there jobs. I have waited tables and delivered pizza's and I was grateful to recieve my tips but I never got angry or pissed off like some of my colleagues if someone gave me a bad tip. If you don't like your job than quit or stop complaining.   Scoring disabled. You must be logged in to score posts.
