What Kinf of Tipper Are You?


But when did the person working the drive-thru at a fast food joint get the idea that we're supposed to tip THEM? Sorry...but I can't find the memo on that one. Maybe the e-mail telling me to give them the change from $5 on a $3.09 bill got sent to my Bulk Mail folder...hmm...nope...can't find it.
The part that bugs me the most is this: I sat there waiting for my change as he pretended not to notice that I was still there. Then, as if he just discovered the drive-thru had a window, he poked his head out and said, "Did you need your change?"
I swear I almost climbed out of my window and through his just so I could throw down some WWE move on his butt! Oh man was I hot!
Doing my best to stay calm, I took a breath, smiled, and simply replied, "Yes please."
Of course he gave me a look like I was the most disgusting, vile person he had ever met.
For a second I was worried he'd run back and spit on my food...but the saving grace was that I had sat there waiting for my change for so long that one of the other employee's was actually hanging out of the pick-up window looking to see where I was!
After reflecting upon all of this I've decided that I'll review my tipping policy...perhaps increase the amount I give up for great service at the places I frequent and for those that provide an invaluable service.

I happened to run across this while on line this morning...I thought it was kind of fitting. Enjoy.
The standard gratuity may be 15-20 percent. But according to one expert (Steve Dublanica), there are all sorts of tippers out there.
Which kind are you?
The verbal tipper: "Heavy on praise, cheap with the cash."
The Accountant: "If forced to split a check of $100.01 between two credit cards, one guy will
tip $7.50 and the other will tip $7.49."
The Flat Tipper: "You could spill hot soup on their baby or treat them like the Sultan of Brunei, they'll always tip you 15 percent."
The Sugar Daddy: "Out-of-shape wealthy Lotharios who try securing sexual favors from waitresses by giving them embarrassingly large tips."
The 10 Percenter: "Usually senior citizens."
The Foreigner: "Customers who come from other countries and feign ignorance about American tipping customs, so they can save a few bucks."
