you tight *****!

got £7 in tips this xmas
thats after providing you with a faultless service all year!
i'll fecking strangle that black n feckin white cat!
its not too late....tip him/her tomorrow or monday and save yourselves from being robbed the whole of 2008!

 

Are you a postie?

I tipped mine a fiver this morning. Asian gentleman, he was very pleased to wish me a happy Christmas with a beaming smile. I'll have him corrupted soon, might give him a tenner for Easter.

 

Why should you get a tip for doing your job - you get paid don't you?!

 

RE: Are you a postie?

gimme ya address n i'll get a transfer there!
be worth it getting away from the tight ***** round here!

 

This'll hurt yer .....

the Asian chap only took over in the Autumn, hence the small tip!

I do get quite a lot of mail though (threats, hate mail, small incendiary devices etc) so only doing the right thing by him.

 

customer service n'all?
so dont you tip the taxi,restaurant when you go out?
they get paid just the same, yet its custom to give 10%ish to them!
i always tip the taxi even if i know he/she take the long way round,and it happens,
seriously though, i got £7 and gave £5 o that to the regular posty who does it,
but 2 tips,no matter how small is pretty naff.
r'lass has tipped the dustmen and posty's, but then again, she did have a smile on her face after

 

I tipped my Polish barber this week

I go to the 50 bob shop in huddersfield, which has inexplicably risen to £3 a cut. It's an outrage.

Anyway, I gave him a fiver and told him to keep the change and have a Happy Christmas.

I thought I was going to get sucked off, in front of all the scumbags of Huddersfield, his expression was so ecstatic.

Spread the wealth when you can, what goes around comes around, you never know when you might need a little favour yourself.

**** me, I might just watch It's a Wonderful Life tonight.

 

RE: This'll hurt yer .....

actually i aint fussed,
i go anywhere so i dont get too familier with folk, though ive seen quite a few i would
so owt under a fiver i keep n any notes i chuck to the regular posty,
did he really wish you happy xmas?
nowt into it, but they can still say it to us,
know a quite few who have said it, they aint all bombers!

 

As it said in my post

he did wish me a Happy Christmas.

He may even be Christian - many people of Asian birth or descent are.

The corrupting of him I was alluding to was to get him on the payroll for robbing the post.

I couldn't give a **** about bombs and that but if there's a nice little earner to be had, I'm all ears.

 

Taxi - no, restaurant yes but then service isn't included.

Barber at christmas I do.

But not the postie - tell you what, stop delivering mainly junk mail and I might consider it!

 

well......................

i got chatting to a muslim who wanted mail redirecting via a sauce (red not brown im afraid...and not daddies at that!) to forward on to political persons.
and no....our goalie wasn't mentioned either!

 

RE: As it said in my post

A muslim lad at work brought in a tin of chocolates and wished us Happy Christmas - it does happen!

There was a piece on Look North last night about Eid, and showing how a family celebrated it, and then one of them said they celebrate Christmas as well with a special meal and spending time with family.

 

so when the cabby sez....£9.50, you wait for the 10 bob change?

 

Why do you tip at a restaurant? I don't understand tips when you're already paying for a service! It might not say service on the restaurant bill, but it's been taken into account when drawing up the price list.

 

It's like the clients at work

that have been charged through the nose for the treatment given to their pets and then they bring in a tin of chocolates.

 

why tip owt then?
you either do or dont!
believe it or not, but i remember people who have.....few n far between,
but im always extra nice to em.....even if owd biddies!
mmmm owd pussy!

 

Rare I get a cab to be honest...and when I do I'm usually pissed so end up not having a clue what I've given him!

 

why?

cos you cant put a price on life

 

I don't tip owt

Im a tight cow

 

Well, generally tipping is for lower paid jobs

where someone in such a job can give good customer service and earn themsleves a few extra quid.

Restaurants generally don't take into account tips. The price is the price and GP% is the GP%. The tip goes to the individual or the team (to share) for two reasons

a) make up their basic (minimum) wage
b) incentivize them to give good service so that punters returns (everyone's happy; owner, punter, server)

Thing is, only a few years ago, I would be in a gutter outside some town centre pub, happy and pissed, on Mad Friday. Now I'm defending idle posties and scratty waitresses on the internet.

I need to get out more.
