See, I would NOT do that. It just encourages the behavior, if you ask me. Basically, this guy is venting about how hard his job is. Well, BOO-FRICKIN-HOO. You have a job that YOU chose to do, so DO it. Anyone who has a job thinks that there is some aspect of it that is really hard, but do we ask for tips? Nope. I imagine if I shilled to my clients that I labor long hours for them, and that they should give me money for the work they already pay me to do, I'd be out quite a few clients.
I am shaking I am so frustrated/pissed by this tipping BS. It's out of control, and if you speak up about it, you're a cheap inconsiderate asshole. Meanwhile, some lazy douchebag is sitting behind a counter somewhere expecting his tip for doing next to nothing for you while giving you attitude. Like it's MY fault you won't apply yourself...or are stuck in this shitty job for some other I-don't-care-why reason. Wow...vent much? :0 On 11/2/07, Erika L.
