Oh, and the most insulting part about the three cents?

Dude counts out 17 cents, and then takes back and gives me a second dime. "keep the 3 cents."

no, he knew he was supposed to give me a tip, but he had a 50 dollar bill and I can't take those, so he said "well, i won't be able to give you a tip then, but here."

i would be mad as hell if it happened to me, but i literally LOL'd when I read that VVVV



waiting tables, being a delivery person, and all other service jobs are rough work. i never did any of that because i know i wouldn't be able to take all the abuse w/out saying something to a rude customer.


on another note, i don't wanna open another can of worms or anything, but, as a customer, some workers don't seem to realize that tips really are not mandatory (a right). they're gestures that should be given commensurate to the quality of service provided.

bad service = bad tip/no tip
decent service = good tip


i always tip pretty well...always at least the standard 15%, unless i get really poor service. cute+friendly waitresses definitely get extra.
