TIP's - When should you give them?

Realistically you should never tip, there shouldn't be a need for it. People get a wage and if it's low enough to warrant tips then they're in the wrong career.

I do tip sometimes though. If I have a bit of extra cash to spare

As someone who works in the hotel part of things. I think this is a bit harsh. Even if people already get a wage (a lot of the time at minimum wage) its a nice way of showing gratitude to the effort that people put in. I by no means expect to get tipped at work, but it is certainly appreciated when I do. I don't think it should be a compulsion, but if people serve you well it's a nice thing to do.

If you don't always have 'extra cash to spare', then perhaps you're in the wrong career also?

I only tip the staff at the bank.



Oh and the politicians.

whos who

I never tip, why give someone extra money for the job they are getting paid to do?? Its not my problem if they dont get paid enough.

Anyway people one word.....recession:rolleyes:

Tipping is nothing more than a self-imposed wealth tax which transfers the burden of ensuring people earn a decent wage from the employer to the customer.

I don't tip.

I don't tip bar staff, never really occures to be tbh.

I use taxi's alot (although I'm off the gargle at the minute so not as much as usual) and I'll tip a taxi driver if the car is clean and he's a bit of craic - why?, because I always check the metered fare and the vast majority of guys round down fares, in the interest of fairness I'll tip.

Other than that, my bin men & postie get a nice little tip at Christmas.

I make a decent wage, I'm not a stongy cunt like some & I know its very un-Irish of me but I don't begrudge another man a wage and I know in these recessionary times a few more cent is greatly appricated.

maybe he means he has cash to spare to spend on himself, and not donate to people who already get paid.

I'll give you a tip......there's no need for the apostrophe in the thread title.
