903: What's Yours is Mine

[Amravanti]

Thank you, I think...


"black people don't feel like they owe anyone anything", not a generalization, by the way. This is why I never lend any of my family money.


Also, Arab extremists are worse because they're crueler to their own, more dedicated to their cause, and because they've been doing it far longer, and are far more set in their ways because of it. I mean, just 50 years now, and Germany is already over the whole nazi thing. It'd take more than killing Muhammad and 50 years of peace to stop Al-Qaeda.

And I know Matt came off as a liberal, artfag, but I'm totally on his side here, and I don't get why Chemda finds it so hard to believe that a Nazi could be hesistant to destroy a work of art. Even if every nazi were pure evil, it has nothing to do with one's appreciation of art.

You know what your problem is? You've never been black.

Of course you're on their side.

Huh? What? How do you know I've never been black? Maybe I just went back.

Of course you do.

Impossible.

Personally, living in HK and Australia all my life, I never knew that US waiters lived purely off tips. Even when on holiday in the states, it was not obvious to me. Well now I do, and there is No Excuse For Not Tipping.

And on the debates between Matt and Chemda - first I agreed with Matt, then I agreed with Chemda and by the end, I thought they were both right because they were arguing slightly different things.

Okay, all the other black guys here are not really helping, so I will speak up. I think it is all how you grow up. My dad is a cheap bastard but, he will not hesitate to tip. I saw him tip as I was growing up therefore, I have never not tipped. I even tip the carhops at Sonic's. Now, if you ask me why my dad was a good tipper, I do not have an answer. I think that any black person that does not feel obligated to tip is really not living in reality. If you do not have enough money to tip, then you should not go out for dinner, lunch etc.

Thanks dawg, We don't know what we sayin. If it weren't for you and Barack, I don't know what we'd do.



Okay, seriously.

Should you carry your own bags up to your room if you don't have enough cash to tip a bellhop? Also, does the same apply to pizza delivery guys? Should I tip the guy at footlocker that brings me my shoes? And if it's just a wage thing, then does this obligation extend to waiters in states that do get paid a proper hourly wage? Does this apply to waiters that are getting paid more than I am? What are the rules of etiquette here?

It's all nonsense. Don't be a jerk, tip when you can, but ignore anyone who tells you that you have to.

I care so little what people think, I'm not even going to remind everyone that despite everything I've said, I do actually tip, and feel bad when I end up not doing so.

How about this, next time I'm low on funds, I'm going to immediately ask that someone hand me a menu when I come in. I'll write down my order on a piece of paper, send it over to the kitchen, and have one of the cooks call me when it's ready and I'll come get it. That way I can pay for what I came out to dinner for. "dinner".

Are you really spending your last dollar on eating out? If so, your priorities are really fucked up.
