I tip servers, bartenders and people that provide quality service. I've used a couple movers and have found damage after they're long gone and not able to file a claim. I find it funny how the main guy will stand there at the end with his hand out asking for a tip, I'm sure that he feels entitled but I don't have the energy to tell him how lame it is to do so.

One thing I have noticed is those restaurant owners arent the ones I hear complaining about how they cant get anyone to work there. My favorite does the "base plus" model of a full wage for everyone and then all the non management staff pools whatever tips were left and they have almost all of the same employees pre-pandemic thanks to more stable wages. I know a lot of the waitresses from the trendy places and they never returned. They all went to school, had other careers, but fell into service because a hot chick bartending can make BANK. But when COVID hit they realized its not a guarantee and a lot fell back onto their original career path and, especially being slightly older, like getting a consistent check every two weeks. |

It's the samewith the wage stagnation issue, its been going on for DECADES here, wages haven't kept up with inflation forever so you're poorer for making more money. Everyone feels it but when you talk about changing it its: 1. Don't upset the system (south park had a good one about treating the economy like a vengeful god) 2. back in my day we survived for 3 months on 2 bits and a goats testicle and , by god, you can too! (ignoring the fact that the cost of an average house back then was like $3k and, adjusted for inflation, should only cost about $46k today, cost of education has increased 600% in the past 30 years, etc) 3. MARXISM, SOCIALISM, SOMESCARYISMIDONTACTUALLYKNOWWHATWORDSMEAN! All while some of us are making more by simply HAVING money than we are going to our jobs (but I still gotta go to work). |

A few days ago I tipped a mover $50 bucks cash because I felt bad for him and he happily took it, while hiding from me that his company was going to charge me way over the estimate. The company he is contracted with isn't answering my calls or responding to my emails. He ghosted me as well.
Not feeling sorry for and tipping these chumps ever again. They're shady and not forthcoming. I also never tip more than 15% tip at restaurants. Ba humbug indeed.

I had a plumber one time try to charge me 2 hours for a job. I was nice and signed the work order and immediately called the office, because they call you to let you know the guy will be there in 10-15. I said, "She when you called? She what time it is now? He's trying to charge almost an hour more time and he's done." $150/hr for nothing is something up with which I will not put. They corrected it, no idea if the guy still works there. As for the movers? "Thanks guys" maybe a bottle of water. I'm not buying into this I need to tip everyone on the damn planet BS. Although the movers I used for this place maybe, they didn't charge by the hour, but by the item. Better believer those guys were HUSTLING. |
