Do you tip your barista? What about your doctor?
First wank so TIP WELL and I promise not to use the cheap lotion. You believe me, right?

After a nice exchange earlier today, I was actually beginning to have warm feelings about

seattle. Not for long.

deguisement freely admits she has already ~~wanked~~ ~~trolled~~ posted in the New Yorkers comm about tipping baristas. Surprisingly, that did not go completely swimmingly. My favorite comment was:

I'll tip my NY baristas like i do my Seattle baristas when they make drinkable fucking lattes like my Seattle baristas do.

Whee! They're off.

gomezticator and

oui_je_danse are of course involved in tl;dr threads of nothingness. Some highlights:

SO bartenders don't deserve tips either?

wouldn't know; i'm straight edge.

So a couple hours later, the OP makes another damn post. This time, she wants to know our Thoughts On Tipping McDonalds. Bonus wank on stripper morality.

	Yeah, that surprised me as well, as tattoos are quite expensive sometimes, so you'd think that tattoo artist isn't exactly making minimum wage. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Most tattoo artists, as well as most hairdressers, work at rented work stations in shops owned by other people. The materials and equipment are expensive, sanitising between customers can take almost as long as making the tattoo, and then there's insurance; it all comes down to a pretty low per-hour wage.

	Plus, it's just kinda cool to show your appreciation that way if they've done a good job. It's an intense little interaction you have for that time, and if you're going to be coming back to that particular artist, it sets up a good working relationship, IMHO. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Indeed. And if you're getting something complicated, which takes more than one session, it's just good sense. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Basically, for me? It's "don't piss off the person sticking needles in you." (Reply to this)(Parent)
