We need the death penalty so's we can punish patrons who don't tip.

Did it get a story and a nice warm glass of milk? Laced with arsenic? >


We don't have the death penalty in Australia, either. Or tipping (except in the odd café, and that's more if you can't be bothered taking home the shrapnel from a $3.85 coffee).

Mind you, we don't really need the death penalty, what with all the drop bears...

I think the US has a nice middle ground for tipping.  I went to Mexico once and you had to tip EVERYBODY!  No one prepared us for the sheer amount of tips that we had to pay out.  It was insane.

[RebeccaFog]

well, I'd rather live in Pica's world of non-tipping. 

I feel guilty no matter what I leave.

Tipping is important. It's a way to express your satisfaction or lack thereof with the quality of the service.
Nothing to feel guilty about. If the service sucked, no tip or a meager one like a dime or something is a nice non-verbal way of making your displeasure clear.

Yeah, but if you're paying 2.60 GBP for a single vodka with lime and soda (expected to go up this week due to the budget speech last week) you'd expect the poor bar-person or waiter to be getting properly paid as well.

I still generally leave a tip though. A small one, but South Africa is also big on tipping, and I feel guilty not doing it. I had to bite back more than a few choice words in my waitering days...

Out here they take stiffs out behind the barn and blindfold them then proceed to throw rotten veggies at them.

Out here I think they'd probably end up discussing throwing veggies while having a pint or two and looking at said stiff. Said stiff would eventually crawl away while more pints were being had.

[Lutin]

It comes in pints?! I'm getting one!

[lady amarant]

"That thing's bigger than you!"

Yes, but many who get them have often come to expect it regardless of their performance. I have had soem pretty heated arguments with cabbies over this.

[RebeccaFog]

    Cabbies are a cowardly superstitious lot.  An inherently evil group of people if ever there were one.  Someday one will become President of the united states.

My place a double is £2.95. A single, £1.95
And I am on minimum wage, without even London weighting. It is not possible to be legally paid less then I.

Doesn't America do pints of beer?

[RebeccaFog]

everything is 12 or 16 ounces.   What is a pint anyway?
