Here's a tip...

...don't eat yellow snow.

Seriously though, I have a friend whose New Year's Resolution this year was to actually tip more. I totally forgot about it until these threads started popping up. He always tipped 3 bucks. If it was a $10 meal or $150 meal, he always tipped $3 - I shit you not. He told me this himself.

Now I, on the other hand, have no problem tipping 50%, even 100% on EXCELLENT service - especially around Christmas-time. HOWEVER, I HAVE NO PROBLEM WHATSOEVER stiffing the hell out of someone (I'll even write a note on the receipt saying exactly why). Tips are to be earned, they are not deserved.

Something crazy overcomes me around Christmas time. I tip about 33% on sit-down meals - again, if I get good/attentive service. I tip everybody - even the mailman!

One thing I think is bullshit is that at Coldstone Ice Creamery, where they make you an ice cream with m&ms in it, etc (just like a damn blizzard at Dairy Queen), there's an f'in tip jar at the end of the line next to the register. I HATE TIP JARS. Whenever I see one, I take a one dollar bill out of my wallet, put it in the jar and while my hand's in the jar I'll take as much cash out as I can. If anyone sees me, I'll smile and say "getting a little change for a twenty."


I'm just kidding. I'd never have the balls to do that. I either politely ignore the jar and curse it to myself or through some change or a buck in it at most.

People wanna be tipped for everything these days, its getting annoying. I know its standard to tip for drinks but it really hurts when u have to tip after buying an $8 beer.
