Don't forget to tip your server...

I am normally a very generous tipper but I'm about to adopt a No Tip policy. No less than 15 times this weekend I was in some way "reminded" to tip someone. I finally lost it when the pizza guy asked if a tip was included.

Thursday wife and I went to a resort /casino for the weekend. Tipped the valet, went to dinner tipped the server. Gambled and tipped the cocktail host and dealers. Won $2000 tipped the two techs $50 each. Back to the hotel, stopped at c-store left 3 cents in "tip" cup.

Friday out to breakfast buffet. Tipped the chef for an omelet. Tipped the server for being a server. Back to the casino...more tipping of drink servers. Out to lunch, yet another tip for I don't know what. Took a cab to another part of town since we were drinking....you guessed it, another tip to the driver. Out to dinner....so that's a given there will be tipping. Back to the room but still hungry. ROOM SERVICE!!!!!! and a tip.

Saturday morning decided to try this new restaurant. Manager comes to table to do a meet and greet, as he turns to leave, he says, "Don't forget to tip your server!" So of course another tip. Round three at casino...holy crap, another jackpot! Damn, there goes another tip to the techs. beverage servers probably make more than I do. Tips being thrown around like an insult at a roast. Time to go home, tip the valet.

Got home and didn't feel like cooking so we ordered pizza. It took 40 minutes to get our pie. NO TIP!!! Driver asked me if I needed change or was tip included. I came unglued.....
ME: WTF did you do to deserve a tip
PizzaGuy: I drove your pizza over here.
ME: It only took 40 minutes. During that time were you handpicking the ingredients right from Tuscany?
PizzaGuy: Huh? Most people give tips that why I asked.
Me:So why do I pay a $3 delivery charge? Isn't that to compensate for your gas and car usage?
PizzaGuy: Holds up box and says, "See right here any delivery charge is not a tip to your river."
Me: Glad you pointed that to me, see right next to that it says reward your driver with a tip for {lol} outstanding service. If I had outstanding service, I would tip. Have a good night!

Really? a tip cup at a c-store? For what? Being able to correctly type in some digits for my pack of cigs and case of beer or for making me wait till you got done updating your status and clicking "like" on your :censored2:bag Buddie's new drone footage.

Happy New Year everyone!
There is a thread in another part of bc where a person is asking for tips to prevent misleads.
Guess you will not be giving him or her any tips?

I'm kind of with @Sailboat422 a $4-$5 tip is sufficient as far as I'm concerned 99% of the time.
I guess depending on what the service provided is but I usually just leave between 20-25% of the bill so I don't think about it in terms like that. Yeah that makes sense, if my bill is $20, a $5 spot is about what I leave.

What about Dunkin donuts is good?

I'm
Serious we just got one a few months ago and I would rather hve breakfast about anywhere else.
I love their coffee. I swear they can make my coffee to my liking better than I can. Their breakfast sandwiches are awesome for fast food. Donuts are pretty good too.

One big thing is just that I grew up with it too. When I was a kid we got it twice a week. After church on Sundays and on Thursday if we brought home good marks in school.

It varies by server for me. If I'm at Buffalo Wild Wings and the server is clearly a college student and does a good job, I will be more than happy to leave a bigger tip. Hasn't been that long since I was in school and trying to earn some beer money...

Tip the pizza guy. A buddy of mine delivered pizzas and usually is sent out with several orders at a time. The size of potential tip usually determined who got their pizza first.

My son delivered pizzas and would totally disagree with your last sentence.

He has had orders where he has driven 15 miles each way and received exact change. He has also had orders where he has driven less than a mile and received a $10 tip.
