Mr Bloke Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 No you were lucky, we'd have been barefoot, having eaten the bread. Just reminded me of this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteMorris Posted October 17, 2012 Author Share Posted October 17, 2012 I tip at restaurants unless the service is terrible. I don't tip delivery people, take away is expensive enough as it is. I only tip the taxi driver if it's convenient for me, ie £9 fare, just give him a tenner, but a £7 fare I'll want my change. So is the 'tight' Yorkshireman alive and kicking? Lets face it, the stereotype must have some been arrived at through reputation! ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geared Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 I just can't see the point in tipping the pizza delivery boy, he's on minimum wage - so what, it's not the most taxing job in the world. I don't tip the girl at starbucks, or the fella at subway or the person in B&Q who helped me find the door handle I was after. Do you guys tip all of them too, because I'm fairly sure they're all on the same wage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(to me). Ok it's not the most taxing job in the world, but what if he's got a family? He's making an effort to get up off his arse and earn some money! I know when I used to do it, I was very very grateful for any tips I got. I was once that person in that situation! No you're right I don't tip in starbucks (I won't go in there anyway cos it's waaay too expensive!) or B&Q, or the fellas in subway. But I think that's an entirely different scenario.

Cyclone Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 They're on minimum wage as well though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteMorris Posted October 17, 2012 Author Share Posted October 17, 2012 They're on minimum wage as well though... Yes I know that. But my logic (strange as it is I know) tells me the job they do wouldn't lend itself to 'tipping'. You don't hand over a tip at the counter in Subway...would you?...it's just not the same! Or is it me? Incidentally, I'm not a Yorkshireman! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 I wouldn't hand over a tip to a delivery person either... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, I don't have a Brummie accent either...well maybe a tinge....But I've been around a bit you might say! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
