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.

I direct a large part of my earnings to my savings account, which I don't touch unless I'm using it for a major development in my life, and another part to helping my mother out financially, and I don't consider those part of my paycheck. So yeah, I'll sometimes end up a day or two before pay day with just the dollars and cents in my pocket.

Am I going to just sit at home and eat ramen every single time? No.

How much money is in your savings account right now?

Amravanti · 02-23-2009, 08:18 PM

Would you like my pin number as well?

Not an incredible amount. Which is why I'm so strict with my savings.

Keith · 02-23-2009, 08:19 PM

How old are you?

Yeah, I know, I was just making fun of myself for being unable to resist.

I really tried, though.

Amravanti · 02-23-2009, 08:21 PM

Does it matter? Are you admitting that the rules of tipping are situational?

I'm 22.

I wish I were older, as it would lend me more weight here, but alas.

Keith · 02-23-2009, 08:22 PM

Thank you.

Oh, well then, so long as you can still walk out feeling superior to me.
