The Bitch Box

Lady luck is still rolling her eyes at me, now my mail is being delivered to the wrong place or not being delivered at all and everytime i have to go to the post office to fix this mess they give me attitude over this sh*t, they always try to find a way to blame me or the company billing me for puttin the wrong address when its clearly their fault!

How do i know its their fault? Cause i everytime i make a scene at the f*ckin post office my packages miraculously appear. And do they appologize after f*ckin up? Noooo, they 're like "here's your sh*tty package you made a big deal about, we've had it for like a week, we all wondered who it belonged to"

I tip whenever applicable and I tip as well as I can afford. It's service industry code.

i tip also

and i really don't have a stance on the issue tbh

if they wanna leave it as is then i'm fine with that... i just know i have to do a little math every time i go to eat

but if they changed it to built in gratuity i'd be fine with that too... really makes very little difference to me

but if suggesting a built in gratuity as opposed to the tipping thing isn't being tight, cause you're going to pay the same either way.

If the service is good, I tip. I generally will do 10% and round it up so it makes the bill even. If the service sucks, I don't tip. Why is this so complicated?

People will QUIT THEIR JOBS AND THEN NOBODY WILL BE ABLE TO BRING US FOOD AND ACT NICE AT THE SAME TIME!

At least that's my understanding of the "let's keep it all the way it is, dodn't hurt nobody" crowd"'s understanding of the situation.

Okay but if you can't bring some tea and napkins in a reasonable fashion before I choke to death from lack of drink, why do you need a tip, exactly?

Good service is not as linked to good tips as everyone thinks. I work just as hard for a $1 bill to be thrown into my tip jar as I do for a five milkshake order that I get nothing for. It's not an incentive, it's the only way I can afford to live between paychecks.

So that you don't get fired from your job that utilizes built in gratuity because it's an industry that always needs people who can replace you any time of day, regardless of the tip rates.

The interesting thing to me is that people have accepted that at bars you tip a dollar a drink. No one questions it, and if you don't tip the bartenders will take notice. A dollar a drink for pouring a beer, yet waiters/waitresses, baristas, etc. work much harder but have to prove themselves to get a tip. It's a broken system.
