Another professional athlete that is a crappy tipper...

I wholeheartedly agree. I wake up at 4:45am to work out everyday. And I have a job that pays crap. Warrior my ass.

 

I guess I'm in a minority here but I have never regarded pizza delivery drivers in the same light as restaurant waitstaff. My pizza tab generally averages less than $15 and I have always felt $1 was plenty.

I live in a nice neighborhood and the drive should easily be under 10 minutes round trip (2 stop lights max). I'll go get the thing myself before I'll pay someone $3 or more.

 

Back on topic. I tip the standard 15% across the board, good or bad service. For pizza, I tip $2 across the board as well.

However, the more I think about it, I'm going to have to start basing tips on performance than anything else.

But since I haven't eaten a pizza or at a restaurant in 2 years, it's all moot anyways. Easiest way to save $$$.

 

Yep, people who tip 0-10% definitely get much worse service the next time, compared to those who tip 15%+, who get much better service next time they visit the restaurant or pizza delivery company. If you tip sh*tty and re-visit the same restaurant, be careful!

 

Roger Clemens, while a great pitcher, is well known around Houston for being a total *******. Remember when we struck a deal with Toronto, and then Roger wanted to reneg his contract before coming to Houston.

As far as gratuity goes, we've all heard the phrase "no tippin' Pippen." Kevin Garnett is an awful tipper as well I hear. I used to bus tables at Outback in First Colony, and I remember these guys were usually good tippers:

Matt Maloney
Sheryl Swoops
Bruce Matthews
Brent Price

Sam Mack once handed me a $5 just for taking groceries out to his car when I worked at the Kroger in Sweetwater when I was 16.

 

What about when you have dim sum?

Since there are 10-12 different people serving you food off the pushcarts, do you tip? Do you give 15%?

This one always perplexed me.

 

Just tip 15%. I am sure the dim sum people divide their tips equally.

 

i worked for dominos for a couple months right after college while I was lookin for "real" employment..

it has got to be one of the easiest, well-paid, do-nothing jobs that there is..

I was making almost 2 grand a month from salary,tips+millage..and this was in Conroe..where 1/2 the delievers were to trash non-tippers..

 

It doesn't matter if you have money or not, you should always tip well...

I used to wait tables and the crap you have to deal with...Let alone that this is your only income...

 

NICE GUY EDDIE

C'mon, throw in a buck.



MR. PINK

Uh-uh. I don't tip.



NICE GUY EDDIE

Whaddaya mean you don't tip?



MR. PINK

I don't believe in it.



NICE GUY EDDIE

You don't believe in tipping?



MR. BLONDE

(laughing)

I love this kid, he's a madman,

this guy.



MR. WHITE

Do you have any idea what these

ladies make? They make ****.



MR. PINK

Don't give me that. She don't

make enough money, she can quit.



Everybody laughs.



NICE GUY EDDIE

I don't even know a Jew who'd have

the balls to say that. So let's

get this straight. You never ever

tip?



MR. PINK

I don't tip because society says I

gotta. I tip when somebody

deserves a tip. When somebody

really puts forth an effort, they

deserve a little something extra.

But this tipping automatically,

that ****'s for the birds. As far

as I'm concerned, they're just

doin their job.



MR. BLUE

Our girl was nice.



MR. PINK

Our girl was okay. She didn't do

anything special.



MR. BLUE

What's something special, take ya

in the kitchen and suck your dick?



They all laugh.



NICE GUY EDDIE

I'd go over twelve percent for

that.



MR. PINK

Look, I ordered coffee. Now we've

been here a long ****in time, and

she's only filled my cup three

times. When I order coffee, I

want it filled six times.



MR. WHITE

What if she's too busy?



MR. PINK

The words "too busy" shouldn't be

in a waitress's vocabulary.



NICE GUY EDDIE

Excuse me, Mr. White, but the last

thing you need is another cup of

coffee.



They all laugh.



MR. PINK

These ladies aren't starvin to

death. They make minimum wage.

When I worked for minimum wage, I

wasn't lucky enough to have a job

that society deemed tipworthy.



NICE GUY EDDIE

Ahh, now we're getting down to it.

It's not just that he's a cheap

b*stard--



MR. ORANGE

--It is that too--



NICE GUY EDDIE

--It is that too. But it's also

he couldn't get a waiter job. You

talk like a pissed off dishwasher:

"**** those ***** and their

****ing tips."



MR. BLUE

So you don't care that they're

counting on your tip to live?



Mr. White rubs two of his fingers together.



MR. PINK

Do you know what this is? It's

the world's smallest violin,

playing just for the waitresses.



MR. WHITE

You don't have any idea what

you're talking about. These

people bust their ass. This

is a hard job.



MR. PINK

So's working at McDonald's, but

you don't feel the need to tip

them. They're servin ya food, you

should tip em. But no, society

says tip these guys over here, but

not those guys over there. That's

bull****.



MR. ORANGE

They work harder than the kids at

McDonald's.



MR. PINK

Oh yeah, I don't see them cleaning

fryers.



MR. BROWN

These people are taxed on the tips

they make. When you stiff 'em,

you cost them money.



MR. WHITE

Waitressing is the number one

occupation for female non-college

graduates in this country. It's

the one jab basically any woman

can get, and make a living on.

The reason is because of tips.



MR. PINK

**** all that.



They all laugh.



MR. PINK

Hey, I'm very sorry that the

government taxes their tips.

That's ****ed up. But that ain't

my fault. it would appear that

waitresses are just one of the

many groups the government ****s

in the ass on a regular basis.

You show me a paper says the

government shouldn't do that, I'll

sign it. Put it to a vote, I'll

vote for it. But what I won't do

is play ball. And this non-

college bull**** you're telling

me, I got two words for that:

"Learn to ****in type." Cause if

you're expecting me to help out

with the rent, you're in for a big

****in surprise.



MR. ORANGE

He's convinced me. Give me my

dollar back.



Everybody laughs. Joe's comes back to the table.



JOE

Okay ramblers, let's get to

rambling. Wait a minute, who

didn't throw in?



MR. ORANGE

Mr. Pink.



JOE

(to Mr. Orange)

Mr. Pink?

(to Mr. Pink)

Why?



MR. ORANGE

He don't tip.



JOE

(to Mr. Orange)

He don't tip?

(to Mr. Pink)

You don't tip? Why?



MR. ORANGE

He don't believe in it.



JOE

(to Mr. Orange)

He don't believe in it?

(to Mr. White)

You don't believe in it?



MR. ORANGE

Nope.



JOE

(to Mr. Orange)

Shut up!

(to Mr. Pink)

Cough up the buck, ya cheap

b*stard, I paid for your *******

breakfast.



MR. PINK

Because you paid for the

breakfast, I'm gonna tip.

Normally I wouldn't.



JOE

Whatever. Just throw in your

dollar, and let's move.

(to Mr. WHITE)

See what I'm dealing with here.

Infants. I'm ****in dealin with

infants.
