What do you consider a fair tip?

[Islesguy]

When I was in college, after bad service, a buddy left a waitress a penny.

 

When she brazenly complained, he responded. "You want a better tip? Don't use your dildo in the bathtub!"

 

To this day, I can't decide if I should have laughed, or should have been mortified.

 

But in hindsight, for a server bold enough to complain about a gratuity, perhaps it was a fair tip.

It is completely inappropriate for anyone to complain to a customer or to their manager about a tip no matter how awful the tip is. I was recently in a nail salon (I'm a regular there) where one of the workers, in full view of everyone, after receiving a tip loudly announced that 15% is her required tip. I felt embarrassed to be there after that. Never happened before while I was there.

Although tipping alone has always been controversial, ANY tip is appreciated!

90% of my tips come in the form of Cash.

Some Non Cash tips I have received have been Gift Cards to places I like, roll of pennies, underwear, cologne, shopping trip, sunglasses.

 

Cash is King.

It’s an inside joke with a Forum Member here. They did give me 2 rolls as a gag ?

A roll of the Australian 50 cent piece would be closer

I'm showered, presentable, on-time, respectful, and honor the terms of the agreement. What more could any provider possibly want from me? :D

I use the analogy of getting ready for a first date.
