Tipping

[Phil Titola]

I tipped the UPS guy last year but now Amazon uses USPS more than UPS but I feel like I've started a UPS precedent now and if I don't tip this year my packages in 2016 from UPS will end up in puddles

Canary, you are one fascinating dude.

I'm just a goofy bastard.

When I'm unbanned I'll share some nihonjin no-tipping anecdotes.

I've never heard of tipping the mailman but the mailman that delivered to my house in Manhattan always carried dog treats and would give my dog one every time they interacted. Great guy

Can't tip them cash. I know that much.

I tip mine cash.  UPS guy too.     And when I say tip I mean like at Christmas time I give them a card with cash in it.  Probably wouldn't do normally but they're both awesome and have gone above and beyond for me so I like to show appreciation.

Tipping is the #1 easiest way to find out if someone is a bad person or not.

Tipping is the #1 easiest way to find out if someone is a bad person or not.

tipping is an immoral system and everyone who participates in it helps to perpetuate that system, and hence is at least partially responsible.  however, i disagree that it is a good means of determining the quality of a person's character.  whether people participate or not is largely determined by the location of their birth.


it would be more accurate to observe that tipping slowly, but inherently, warps and perverts the character of those involved.  maybe that's what you were trying to say.

We apparently have very different views on morality.  Tipping has nothing to do with morals.

no doubt that treating one's servants well reflects well on a gentleman.

#1 thing about europe?  no tipping.  or, very small tips. 

[pissclams]

food is great too, but the tip thing is great also

sys do you believe in commissions for sales professionals?

[TownieCat]

Thank you for sharing. I will no longer tip white people or women because I don't want to be viewed as racist or sexist.

[sys]

sys do you believe in commissions for sales professionals?

ethically, i don't care one way or the other.

Well tipping is a commission.

Well tipping is a commission.

non contractual.  not paid by the employer.
