My question is this: Shouldn't she have given ME the money and let me kick it back to her if that's what I wanted to do? Instead of just taking it without giving me the option?


This shite happened to me at a restaurant recently. That's a good way to ensure that I won't be back any time soon.

I feel like a tip thread pops up at least once a month

Tipping is always voluntarily. It needs to be done, but done by the consumer not the merchant. She was wrong to take your money and put it in the jar.

What's worse is the places that you have to pay the tip before the service is provided. Like if you are getting food delivered and paying with a card. They ask if you want to add a tip. But what if it takes 6 hours to get your food? And if you don't tip, it's not like the delivery guy is going to want to grab your order first.




I used to always ad the tip for pizza, I figured it would make them want to get it to me faster. Then I had an order from Papa Johns and it took nearly an hour and a half for my pizza. The guy said he got lost. I told him "It's 2014 (it was last year) how can you get lost, we had gps now for 20 years"

Counter service I always give a dollar tip, no matter what the price of food is, never give a percent unless I'm being served. Same for liquor. If I order a beer, I give you a dollar, if you make a cocktail for me, I'll give you $2. I'm not paying 20% of the drink cost for you to open it for me.

This is the way it should work...If I get a $50 bottle of wine and you bring it to the table, and pour my glasses...why should you make 4x for a $200 bottle doing the same thing.

She probably sensed fear in you and she knew you wouldn't say shite to her. Women have intuition.

Yes, I was terrified. I may have even peed a little.
