Toxic tipping culture

[MilitantBEEMER]

That's great. I guess in the future I'll put the cash in their hand before I get up. I may go in there again. I don't want to be seen as some weird grumpy no tipper when everything was good enough.

I probably could have handled it better by talking about it, just assumed she would look and see there was cash on the table. Hell, might be time to be a full cash guy. ATMs around me limit to 200 a lot. That ends up being a lot of cash runs with prices these days.

We definitely hand the cash tip to the waitress/waiter. We want to make sure they receive all of it.
To be clear, we only tip like that at sit down restaurants.

I wish there was a way of knowing where exactly those tips on the kiosks go.

Tipping on the card I assume gives a percentage to the cc company. I always tell the cashier that I left the tip on the table.

I was at Red Lobster a couple weeks ago. Someone gave us a gift card from there and it was getting close to expiring. So we thought what the heck let’s go get some mediocre seafood.

What a freaking train wreck that place has become. Waitress was doing her best but the kitchen staff and manager were disconnected and unplugged. Took over 30 minutes for out starters to arrive and the meal was another 30 minutes. Place was far from busy. Maybe 15 customers total. If it wasn’t for the gift card I’d of left and I was questioning it.

Anyway when it came time to pay up I asked the waitress if they shared tips with anyone and she said ‘Yes, the hostess and kitchen staff get a share.’ So I took cash out of my money clip and told her to stick it in her pocket and not dare share it with the other slugs. Then I added zero to the receipt and left.

tipping well isnt gonna do a thing for you looking old and grumpy lol.
Seriously though, what cafe was this.

Cafe in Choctaw. Old and grumpy is a defense mechanism. I feel so bad about all of the ladies that fall in love with me.

Good work on that. I think we may be coming up on a skilled worker crises. Well, not the skills but just just people that care enough to do a good job.
