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.

As a former McDonalds employee, I was not allowed to accept tips. The boxes are for the Ronald McDonald house, silly. Plus, uhm, we actually made minimum wage and were not performing any extraordinary service (a waitress actually sorta takes care of you, carries heavy things and ensures you're okay. a hairdresser makes you look pretty. If anyone at McDonalds should get tipped, it's the poor grill people, not the cashier.)

I did get tipped once while working as a writing center consultant. The tip took the form of cookies. It was unexpected and unneeded (because the student wrote a great paper-- it's the really shitty writers that should've bribed me) but did make me smile.

Are cookies and other foodstuffs considered tips? Because I work at a doctor's office and we get patients coming in all the time and bringing us food. Sometimes it's a hot sandwich, other times it's candies. One time it was a dozen donuts for 2 people, and I was very, very sick by the end of the day.

I always considered them to be gifts, but I guess that's another way of looking at tips?
