No, you don't tip cashiers. Now, do you kind folks tip the people at restaurants that assemble food in front of you (Cafe Rio/ Costa Vida in this land called Utah) I don't. They didn't give me extra sweet pork in my burrito.

Canada has the best/worst of both worlds because servers make at least minimum wage and we're also infected by the same retarded tipping culture America has. I know someone who works as a waitress in high-end restaurant and she can easily pull $400-600+ a week just on tips.

To be honest it also depends on what chain of grocery store I'm shopping at. Publix = higher class, bigger tip, Walmart would be lesser. Gas station the lowest, unless it's a mom and pop.

Tipping culture has kind of gone crazy in the last decade. Every place now has tipping jars out. Fast food places, hardware stores, pet stores. Like, I'm sorry your job sucks and you want more money, but you don't get it just because you woke up in the morning and came into work. Tipping waiters sucks too, but at least they wait on you and provide personal service. I'm not going to tip your useless rear end because you showed up for work at Taco-Town and pushed a few buttons on a register.

Life is a lot cheaper if you just stop caring whether people think you're a good person or not. Dehumanize yourself and face to bloodshed. anyway the funniest goon tipping habit to me is still the people who massively overtip at bars (I've even seen people post that they will tip 20-40 dollars on their first drink) because they think the bartenders are their friend and they get some special vip experience, as if waiting an extra minute or so for a drink refill is some night-ruining event. The only reason they make you feel special is because they know you're an easy mark, just like how in casinos if you blow a ton of money regularly they give you all sorts of free poo poo to keep you coming back.

That's a very lovely and overly cynical way of looking at things tbh. If you let this kind of negativity enter your life, you are not really being a more intelligent, better informed person - you are tainting your subjective experience and making yourself more miserable. By all means don't be an easy mark but dining in restaurants or going to casinos are leisure activities for monied people. If you intended to save money and be frugal, you wouldn't be there so don't be a stingy bitch.

I went to America and thought "hm this tipping culture is weird, but I'll figure it out, I'll do what everyone else does". Nope. Eventually it turned out people tipped at Burger King??? And someone said "if you buy an ice cream, you gotta tip the ice cream person" ?????????????????????? But get this, I figured out the reason it's impossible to figure out. It's because none of the Americans have any clue either. Oh sure, they all think they know why you're supposed to tip at certain places at certain times for certain reasons. But ask any two Americans and you will get wildly different answers, and both will be adamant that their way is THE way everyone does it. Any other way is either rude as poo poo or stupid as poo poo, and they put 100% of their personal dignity into it. (Just look at threads like these) Because they base whether you're a good person on how you tip, and apparently never talk about it among themselves in any other fashion that scornfully about people who do it wrong, tipping creeps into ever more ridiculous situations. Some idiot says "oh of course you gotta tip the ice cream man" and people hear it and go "yikes, I don't wanna be a lovely person, maybe I should do that too, or maybe just stop buying ice cream, this poo poo is way too complicated for me". In conclusion: Death to America.

You can/should still tip when appropriate, but it's just wasting money to overtip like that. It's not about being stingy, it's following the norms and not needing to feel like a working class hero by treating bartenders/waiters as charity cases. If you want to help them out and throw your money away fine, but don't try and justify it by claiming it is "worth it" because of the "perks". Like big deal you get a free beer once in a while. You could have bought 5 and tipped a normal amount for the same amount of money.

when you're tipping the IRS and your accountant, do you tip some of the amount you deducted + credits or the amount of tax you paid? is it shared between them or 10-15% each? this has always confused me. and are these tips deductible the next year?

i am basically steve martins character from my blue heaven bc my philosophy in life is over tipping. i love tipping absurd amounts especially to people who don't expect to receive, or better yet, arent allowed to accept tips. i like to do the "offer a tip to the flight attendant and when she says she's not allowed to accept tips, slide a twenty into her pocket after she turns around and bends over to help someone across the aisle" move that Steve martin did in that movie, it was very suave and cool. however I've never tipped a cashier at the supermarket and id never even considered doing such a thing and I'd never EVER even heard of anyone doing such a thing until this very thread! my grandma told me she would always tip the nice young colored boy who carried her groceries to the car. this sounds racist but it's not; his dad was a doomsday prepper conspiracy nut who forced his family to ingest colloidal silver instead of taking medicine and it turned him all blue/stone grey like some sort of gargoyle smurf. he deserved a tip for carrying her groceries like a nice boy. my tip to him would have been to kick his dad in the nards for being such a fucksucking homeopathetic bunkerbaby yeah I eat rear end posted:anyway the funniest goon tipping habit to me is still the people who massively overtip at bars (I've even seen people post that they will tip 20-40 dollars on their first drink) because they think the bartenders are their friend and they get some special vip experience, as if waiting an extra minute or so for a drink refill is some night-ruining event. The only reason they make you feel special is because they know you're an easy mark, just like how in casinos if you blow a ton of money regularly they give you all sorts of free poo poo to keep you coming back. with a bartender or bartendress, my tipgame is to make the first tip and last tip a real dopper/whoozy. first drink, i pay for my bev, take my change, slio em a cool $30 bill. no tips until two hours/12 drinks go by, then they get a deece tip, like eight or ten clams. if i'm there for a long time, they get another deece eight/ten clam tip after another two hours/twelve drinks, and so on, and so on, until last call when they get the final whoozy dopper of a tip as a matching bookend to the first big fucker tip. I like this plan because I can tell myself "this is what you're gonna do" and it feels classy. then if I get interrupted or something cool or sexy or dangerous distracts me and i have to flee the bar after 1hr 45mins, I can feel good knowing they got a nice fat dooper of a tip to start off with and it doesn't matter that I haven't tipped them since the first drink making simple things complicated is a good way to look pretty cool
