I used to work at Radio Shack (many many years ago) and was guaranteed minimum wage then also made commission so if I sold a good amount I made more). I solved countless problems for people and helped tons of people out and never got a tip. In high school I worked at a small store and often pumped gas. In the year that I worked there I got tipped twice, both of them came at Christmas. One was a random couple that gave me $5 and told me they appreciated my service in the shitty weather (it was wet and cold) and one was $100 from a guy who came in almost every day and filled his truck up. The truck was a pain in the ass to fuel up so I would break the rules and let him operate the pump so he could fill his truck while I helped other people. He said he tipped me because I was the only one that would let him operate the pump and he appreciated it.

It is odd to me how we decide which jobs are tip worthy and which are not.

The one that always gets me is the fellow at a hotel cab stand.. he whistles raises a finger and opens and closes a cab door for 4 bucks. I bet some of those guys are doing very well.

Clean and classy. $10 is a slap in the face, might as well not leave anything.

Supercuts people? I don't think so. I was just reading a Facebook post where someone said they had gotten hired there ad they were guaranteed at least minimum wage, but they would make more depending on what their average ticket sale was so they were encouraged to try to upsell people for different products/services.

tip of my dick.

The quality of the food and the time it took shouldnt influence the tipping

When theres a problem most of the time its because of the owner/manager and/or the chef/cook

Waiter just deliver

In a Usa/Canada its 15% min. end of story

If you dont want/like or can afford, well dont go to restaurant, or less often or cheaper one..

Old debate ..

Can't blame a waitress for the back up n the kitchen,as long as she explains a delay and is attentive during a long wait,she deserves a fin minimum.poor management= no return customers = no tips
