Scotty Tunbridge Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 27 minutes ago, welshbairn said: A tenner every Christmas means there's never a problem leaving out extra rubbish all year, it's a bargain. The postman changes so often these days I don't bother, but they used to give you a bit more time to get to the door before popping the card through, as said above. Anyway when it comes down to it why give anyone a Christmas present? I don’t tip binmen. Neither do any of the people around me. Sometimes people leave a bag or 2 extra out with their bin and they usually get taken. If not it’s not hard to visit a dump. not really worth the tenner a year tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the car stopped on the driveway I tried to pay and tip the driver. Turned out it was my wife. Oops. It could have been so much worse. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know why, but I become riddled with guilt when I don't tip a takeaway driver especially when they've had to come up loads of stairs. Taxi's and barber's what? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fullerene Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 2 hours ago, 19QOS19 said: Why is tipping taxi drivers so common? Did they used to get shit pay and folk did it out of pity? Has anyone hear actually met a poor taxi driver? Any time I get a taxi they can't wait to tell me how well off they are. They can f**k off expecting a healthy tip in that case. If I was taking a taxi for a short journey, I would offer a tip as something of an apology for them maybe missing out on a bigger fare. For longer journeys, I do not offer a tip apart from rounding up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That he doesn’t post your stuff through the wrong door? Our mail lady always brings packages round to the side door away from the street - even when there’s been a foot of snow on the path round - so she gets a fancy bottle of rum at Christmas. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lex Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 15 hours ago, eez-eh said: Surely folk know by now not to bother tipping by card? f**k all chance whoever’s been serving you will ever see it. The aversion some people have now to carrying some physical cash or change on them in case they need it just feels very snobby. Not necessarily, it depends on the place. Many decent establishments allow staff to take their card tips in cash out the till. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
