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.

Sorry if that was unclear. I meant, "I know that it can be possible where this is not allowed [here's my anectodal example]," rather than, "I empirically state that I know everything about 100% of all the cases."

I also didn't read the context of whatever the guy you quoted was saying, so figured it was baristas. I would also add that of the several large grocery chains that dominate the country more and more each day, the ones that are union shops at all are all the same union. So quite a bit can be extrapolated from baristas at one store in a major chain having to follow that policy.

	On the other hand, The United Food and Commercial Workers, which represents, among others, wait staff in some large chain restaurants, would in no way exclude tips in their contracts. The no-tipping clause in the grocery contract has a lot to do with not wanting to slow down lines; at least if you're thinking of the IGWU contract and not the Teamsters one. (Reply to this)(Parent)
