More tipping insanity

[Doctor Phibes]

I tried to tip an Amazon driver the other day, as he'd offered to help us bring a very heavy box into the house. He wouldn't take it, said he was just doing his job.

Things has changed. Last time I bought something big and heavy from Amazon.com, and admittedly it was more than ten years ago, the delivery guy could only deliver as far as the porch. I asked if he could help bring it a few steps further into the house but was told they were restricted by policy to never enter a customer’s house.

From a friend...

Back when I was working,our company attended a summer business show in Nashville Tenn. We all went out to dinner at an exclusive restaurant on Main Street. There was seven of us and as we were going in there was a sign that said that parties of five or more had a 20% service charge on their bill.

As we were going to our table we saw a couple sitting at a table and the man was the general manager of one of the main finance companies in the XXXXXXX industry. We said hello, shook hands and went to our table. While we were sitting and pondering what to order the waiter pushing a cart came to our table and opened and set three bottles of wine on our table. He said they were compliments of the gentleman we passed on the way in.

The point of this story is that the wine was around $120 a bottle and the guy was charged a $72 service charge because it was served at a party of five or more even though a party of two ordered and paid for it. There was a strong argument, to no avail, with the manager. The servers expected a tip on top of that.

"ROSC" is "Return of Spontaneous Circulation" and that's a defibrillator.

Hahah that's hilarious but no seriously let's compare farm subsidies to waiter's tips and oh hey that's not what chefs do basically at all.

If you stay at a hotel one night, do you tip the housekeeping staff?

Yes. I get the same service as if I stayed two nights.

No. I used to leave a 5 every day, but I got service every day. Now you don’t get it even if you request it. No tip.

My problem is the supervisors often scan the rooms first and swipe it
