Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Tipping!

Let's start with I believe a tip is a gift for service above expectations.
Or should be. (Let's avoid the wages......)

Forget about waitstaff and a few service workers traditionally rewarded for good work.



It gotten completely out of hand, with everyone having their hand out.


I ordered from Traverse Creek today, $30 worth of parts, 5 or 6 dollars to ship it USPS.
Working through the order process, I WAS GIVEN THE OPTION TO TIP!
For an online saw parts order!
It was even broken down, %5, 10%, 15%, 20%. Just click on which one you didn't want anymore.


Two day delivery, bet mine doesn't get shipped for two weeks now.

I concur. But tipping nowadays has become an expectation, almost to the degree of an entitlement.

I ordered a caramel mocha on the way home from the eye doc (100 mile drive)

$5.50, told the young lady to put the change in her tip jar............meaning the coins. She seemed unsure, looked at the bills and quarters, and I said the quarters. I did not mean the $4.50.

She did as requested, closed the window, made my coffee. When she opened it to hand it to me I asked for some napkins, which she promptly passed over to me.

I apologized for being a bit confusing about the "change" and gave her $2 more.

Sometimes they deserve it...............................just for putting up with my old ass.

no one gives me tips for serving them

Process server?

It’s beyond ridiculous.

Q predicted it.

Timely. This has not been discussed for a few months . Somethings ya just can't enough of.

Dang Geno, 8.00 dollars for a drink.

Sit down restaurant gets a tip commensurate with the level of service.

No one delivers out here, but they'd get one for delivery.

Anyone else sticks their hand out after the bill is settled is left hanging.

She were a cutie!

(and the drink was good, as in really good and kept me awake on the drive home)

Not sure where you live, but an espresso drink is usually $5 or so and I asked for a shot of the caramel syrup in my mocha too. Extra $0.50 ChaChing!

i was once asked at tractor supply if i would like to tip, i said no, she had a look to kill, i ask if i put a roof on your house will i get a 10/15% tip, she said no thars my job, said to her this is your job, had a fruitcake said i miss gender him at a texas roadhouse, he didnt get tipped either

That's crazy.

But.. bidenomics.

I tipped a truck driver and concrete truck driver both were very helpful and neither driver expected anything. People aren't working for the he'll of it, I can afford to and don't mind helping someone out. Had a excellent young black waiter at the Texas roadhouse in Douglasville yesterday and left him over 40% tip.... should of left him more. If you can't afford it that's one thing, to just be a cheap sob is BS.

My eldest son is a server in a fairly upscale restaurant in San Antonio, The Boiler House, and often serves random "celebrities" localish like the mayor and governor as well as well known actors and musicians. He is paid the base standard minimum wage for servers in Texas of a bit over $2/hour and tends to run in the $65-75K/year. He is very good at what he does and it is not uncommon for him to receive 50% tips, sometimes more.

Good man !! A good concrete driver can save you money and work.

Dont yall have them nudie butt baristas out there?

Not in rural conservative farmland Orygone.

I'd have to go over the Cascades for them.

I'm usually good for 15-20% if a decent job is done. And even though I'm not wealthy I'll go above & beyond that if likewise service is given.

OTOH, I'd fight my way out of a place before I'd give some bitch or half ass a thin dime.
