POLL: If you consider yourself well-off, what kind of tipper are you? (Be honest with yourself)

My tipping totally depends on the situation

boorad

2/14/19 10:20am

Me too. I tip regular people I see well over the norm. I will also tip at restaurants well over if they are good.

I tip pizza delivery guys well because my being stingy won't single handedly fix the messed up system

20% always. I don't even short change bad service

cougarblue

2/14/19 10:29am

Don’t be duped, standard is 15%

It’s not.

I feel like it used to be. But the accepted value seems to have

Moving it from 15% to 20% means the price of food doesn’t change....or the

Service at a restaurant would have to be absolutely and objectively horrible for me not to give 20%

TCuz

2/14/19 10:30am

I don't tip the pizza delivery driver because I always pick it up myself.

I tip based on service provided. If I go to a really expensive place

I try to tip generously. It’s a good way to make someone’s day, and it’s no sweat off my back.

Virginia Ute

Would have no problem giving a pizza delivery guy $10-20 to deliver in snow

boorad

2/14/19 11:07am

And you are the one making his job crappy

Sandy Lyle

2/14/19 11:21am

If you’re ordering delivery from the same place over and over you’re probably getting spit in your pizza.

Virginia Ute

2/14/19 11:33am

Do you tip people at McDonald's? They have crappy jobs too

boorad

2/14/19 11:57am

If mcd delivered I would

Sandy Lyle

2/14/19 1:55pm

I would too

boorad

Do what you want. I’m just saying you come across as a trashy

Virginia Ute

2/14/19 3:10pm

Explain to me why they should get tipped

boorad

2/14/19 3:28pm

Because they make less than minimum wage. You may not like it but it is what it

Still waiting for a logical reason why they should be tipped...

Yes, it is your responsibility. I’m not gonna make you understand it.

Virginia Ute

2/14/19 4:36pm

But I’m not “stiffing” anyone

boorad

2/14/19 6:38pm

Here’s an idea: go pickup your own pizza.

TCuz

2/14/19 7:14pm

IT DOESN’T GO DIRECTLY TO THE DRIVER NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU THINK IT SHOULD!!!!!

Dillinger

2/14/19 7:21pm

I realize this. The system is messed up. I know that my stinginess won’t fix it

boorad

2/14/19 8:55pm

Yeah sure make the poor minimum wage guy pay for your disagreements with the system.

Virginia Ute

2/14/19 10:39pm

Sorry just noticed you’re a Ute

boorad

My wife and I are both physicians, so we have sufficient for our needs, thanks.

He basically risked his life to bring you a freaking pizza. Tip the guy.

pink22

2/15/19 8:51am

Risked his life? What are you talking about?

boorad

2/15/19 9:10am

He’s driving. It’s a risk. To bring you a pizza. Give him a few bucks.

Do you tip your mailman? Your UPS driver?

boorad

2/15/19 12:34pm

It's not CB, it's weird American custom. It doesn't make sense but

JuicyJam

2/15/19 12:51pm

Tipping isn't necessarily going to be logical. The lines of when we do and don't

Jay Rick

2/14/19 5:19pm

If you are too cheap to tip delivery drivers, you’re too poor to get delivery.

TCuz

2/14/19 4:19pm

Spot on.

Virginia Ute

2/14/19 4:36pm

For those saying that you stick with societal norms, does that mean that you also tip your mailman, garbage collector,

Man, if someone doesn't tip their hairstylist...how cheap can you get.

TCuz

2/14/19 10:33am

Yea, some of those I've never heard of, but I thought hairstylist was a common

Cougar8Duck

2/14/19 5:20pm

I think hotel maid tips are pretty common too.

Jay Rick

2/14/19 5:25pm

Social norms do not dictate that I tip those people.

Jay Rick

2/14/19 10:37am

Yes, I do.

20-25%. Never lower. Once in a while higher but rare

cougfanz

2/14/19 10:33am

For regular service, I do 20% rounded up to the next dollar (or two)

cheezedawg

2/14/19 10:47am

Seems to me tipping should be more fee based rather than percentage.

I'm in Costa Rica right now. I searched online before hand and the consensus was that tipping isn't expected here.

cheezedawg

2/14/19 10:38am

This would be nice.

JuicyJam

2/14/19 10:52am

Tippin a dollar for good service makes me feel good inside. I'm selfish that way

ClackamasCoug

20% and up, more if I take my family

My wife and I were both servers for a long time. We over tip every time.

Even bad service? If so, why? I dont understand the rationale of rewarding bad

As former servers we also understand when a server is not trying or is being

Same here. Waiter at a steakhouse for a few years. Always tip generously.

I don't tip for anything that I can do myself

You've got to earn my tip. I am a very generous tipper, but you've got to earn it.

This is what's crazy about tipping, and men...

So it goes...

2/14/19 7:20pm

Tipping ends up being racist and sexist and is overall a terrible system.

JuicyJam

Gum balls? I’d think watermelons... never heard of gumballs impressing anyone

Follow where scootsy is going and put a gumball on a watermelon...
