everytime people start talking about tipping I think of Mr. Pink from the movie Reseviour Dogs and how he went off about tipping and I have to agree with him. I only tip waiters/waitresses and then only because I have to . . .well I guess I don't but if I ever want to go back there I better

Here is my philiosophy:

I've had tons of shitty low paying hard work jobs that for whatever reason society hasn't deemed tip worthy. I live in Oregon and for some reason we are not allowed to pump our own gas. so I have worked at gas stations pumping gas. The place I worked we washed every windshield on every car ( unless it was raining) and in the year and half I was there I got tipped one time. Why isn't that job worthy of tips? A waiter takes an order and delivers it. The gas pumper does the same only he has to stand out in the rain and heat and cold ect. I worked for radio shack for a while and every day 15 people would come in looking for some kind of "connector" or " thing" That I would spend 20 minutes figuring out for them just so they could buy a 79cent part and go on thier way and they never tipped me. So I say fuck it! If a waiter/waitress is good I will tip good. There are a few places I go to regularly so I tip good there, but if I'm somewhere I don't normally go and the service sucks I leave little or no tip. I don't complain because I dont want someone to piss in my soup, I just don't tip. When I go get my hair cut I leave tip because I like her and she does a good job ( but I have been other places then the place I normally go and have gotten a bad haircut that they knew I was unhappy with and they still stood there waiting for a tip)

So this may make me an asshole but I say fuck it! If people don't think they make enough money at their jobs without tips then they should get better jobs. I agree that the public are assholes, I've worked with them on many occasions but these people waiters, cables guys, barbers, valets, they are getting paid a wage to do there job and we shouldn't have to tip them just for because they did it.

anyway, that's my 2 cents
