As someone with sensitive to scents, too much perfume is number one.
Only nine?
I am SICK of tipping every person everywhere I go!!!!!!!!!!!!
ENOUGH already!!!!!!
Oh, and then you have to give money to every charitable organzation as well as well as the charity drives at work and church!
MY family comes first. NOT everyone else’s!!!!
Years ago I was in Berlin at the Hyatt Regency on business. They were having a some cosmetics company convention, and my wife actually rode in the elevator with Andee McDowell.
Long story short, the Lobby was at WMD level with all the ladies wearing perfume.
Repeating yourself.
so lifting my leg in a store to rip out a long bubbly fart is not acceptable?
Uh huh. We’re old guys.
I tell my wife my butt is just blowing you a kiss.
Better to bear the shame than bear the pain, as they say.
BS about not tipping enough!
What’s rude is them shoving a screen in front of your face for simply ordering and paying for something and “suggested” tips starting at 20% while they’re looking at you!
I’m so sick of it.
tipping rules?
written by whom?
I didn’t grow up with the habit but learned it in the military: saying “sir” and “ma’am” when appropriate is also good manners. I’ve also found that older women, especially, find it endearing.
I detest the tipping culture. Restaurants should pay the help more and build the price into the cost
I love the new NHL goalies spot on tipping. It is VEY tiresome, and in many cases not warranted.
I always tell the window person in a drive through to have a nice day after getting my order - since I don’t go through those often I don’t get to do it much.
The Tip one I have issues with. I gave a 16-17% tip at a lunch once and had the waitress run me down in the parking lot to tell me it wasn’t enough. Never returned to the place again and it still steams me.
I prefer the custom in Japan - a tip is considered rude because it implies you need the money because you can’t do your job well.
I get where you’re coming from.
My wallet would be a little more wide open to the door knockers and bell ringers if I didn’t have to write a sizable check to the feds/state every April, with the knowledge that much of it is going to diversity programs and the like.
Perhaps with the advent of DOGE, our tax dollars will now be used more responsibly, with more of it going to those in need.
Totally acceptable. Lifting your leg or arching your back is enough of a warning to those downwind. They appreciate the good manners.
