    I tip generously, I have worked in the food service industry as a yout, and I know I hate every mother fucker that ever stiffed me to this very day.

    The only place I refuse to tip is Starbucks. Maybe I would if I didn't just pay $29.36 for one Mocha Latte half-calf de-calf with a shot of espresso and a twist of lemon made from beans that were grown on the plains of the Serengeti. But come on... you just ran water over some grounded-up coffee beans. Was it really that hard?

    i dont think we have ever formally met, although i do see you on barret from time to time (black STI right?)

    I know some of the same people you do, and i think you know who my roomate is.

    I thought it would have been weird if i walked up and was like "hey im vteckidd!" Usually 1 of 2 things happens when i do that:

    1) I get a blank stare like "WTF ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT"
    2) I get my ass kicked cause it was someone i talked shit to online.

    i didnt see you until the movie let out and we were both standing on the curb. I was in a silver RX8

    I tip accordingly because I used to be a waitress & I know how it feels to work for tips.





    Plus, I also expect tips after sex. :boobies:

    How much a barber charges ?
    I've been going to the same place for 10 years now.. for the last 5 or so years I just give my barber "Jason" @ International Barber Shop on Lawrenceville Suawnee Rd and Riverside ( free plug).. $20..

    Im going to check for signs next time.. I honestly dont know.. If I remember correctly it was 8 bucks 10 years ago.. But I cant remember...


    Today I went to Get 2 tires put on my Toyota.. tipped the guy that did the work 12 bucks...

    I usually overtip, and then if there's alcohol involved, I get more generous, haha.

    I for the most part at restaurants tip 20% + whatever rounds to the next nearest dollar so I dont have to deal with change. I HATE when I go out with someone and they do not tip properly or at all. That pisses me off to no end! I always go back and throw some down or make it a point to give it to the waitress myself. I was a waitress for about 2 months when I was 17 and it was HELL!! I will never do it again just plainly b/c there are too many people in this world with no respect! Mad props to the ones out there that can handle it!

    As far as barbers/cosmotologist goes, my mom is a cosmo and she has dealt with all kinds of tards. Anywhere from no tips, to perverted men that tip $100 on a $25 hair cut. I do not use her(never allow family to touch you, never works out...lol) I go to a man in Cartersville at a semi-upscale place. They usually charge like $115 for cut and highlight but he cuts me a deal of $70 b/c I have sent him so much clientel and I drive so far. Even then, I still always give him $80, which is not really a good tip, but we have a deal worked out and it works. He is happy, and I am happy. He knows times are hard, so there has been quite a few times where he has cut me huge deals. Even done it free once. All around, people need to tip better when they get their hair done!!!!

    And again to you people that tip shitty or not at all...

    My haircuts are usually $15 and I SOMETIMES leave $5 for the barber. If he takes longer than normal, stops cutting to run his flapper, or has bad breathe....I don't tip. Funny thing is, I have only 2 barbers, lol.

    Well I leave 3 regardless, 5 if my barber was awesome.

    But if you cant do a buzz cut - you dont need to be working in a shop.
    Let me put it this way. If someone fucked up and put transmission fluid into your engine - would you tip them? What if its their first day on the job?

    Exactly - it's not my problem, its the shop's.

    Tips are my only way of income right now while i'm in school. In most restaurants now, we also have to tip out the bussers, bartenders, and the host/hostess. So, if you tip $3 on a $30 tab, 3% of that WE have to tip out to pay them... even if you DON'T order anything from the bar & even if they don't even clean off our tables.

    By Valet only, you mean places that you are required to have your car valet parked, right?

    I'm just making sure, before I go off on a tangent about people not tipping valets. Valets usually work off tips alone, no minimum server wage or anything.

    Yes. Places that Valet only. I have actually tipped places that Valet only to let me park my own car.

    I went to Fogo Friday night and dude parked my car literally in the parking spot in front of the door. He looked at me, I handed him 3 bucks, and he handed me my keys. At Ted's a few weeks ago, I knew there was a self park in the back. I pulled up and said, "I'm going to park it my self." The dude said, "C'mon man, I always wanted to do burnouts in one of those things!" I swear, I could have punched him.

    That would make me weary of Valets, but it's their job. Hopefully no Valet will ever do that to your car.

    My friend watched the valet at 2 urban licks drive straight over a speed bump, bottom out, and stall on top of the speed bump. The dude denied it when I went outside. I told him to give me my keys immediately. Fucking asshole.

    Damn, that's horrible. But I assure you not all Valets are like that. A few members are valets & there is even an owner of a valet company on the site. Just all the bad experiences don't ever make up for the good service of others.

    ? Even if I had nothing but great experiences with Valets, I would have no use for the service. The ONLY time it would be somewhat useful is if the restaurant only had parking in a garage that was some distance away from the front door. Most restaurants in Atlanta, they park your car around the corner, or even worse, where you can see it when you walk out the front door. I have no qualm with walking to 30 yards to my car.

    Thats how waiters and waitresses make their money. With great service comes great tips even if I'm a broke ass. Poor service equal shitty tip.

    I don't care if I own a Yugo (it would be a step up if I did). Nobody drives my car but me.

    They are so cute though I was watching Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist earlier and the guy owned one. You can get the one from the movie for $2800 on Ebay.

    What a I really want is a Triumph Dolomite. Not a reliable as a Yugo, but much better looking.

    In short, a car version of me.

    Well being a bagger/cashier at Ingles I feel the pain of minimum wages a crap hours. I tip at restaurants and sonic just because and the girls like to see a respecting man.. But when I am at work we can take tips, we aren't supposed to. lol
