I hate,hate,hate the tipping thing, too. I...I know! I hate,hate,hate the tipping thing, too. I even hate tipping my hairdresser (Hey- I just dropped 80 bucks on a cut & color- now I gotta shell out another $15 more for a tip? What the heck is that about?!?!) Our "doormen" in NYC probably hated me- we never even thought about tipping any of them. I think I made some cookies instead. I bet they just threw them out. lol their loss...! I was a waitress at Chili's through nursing school and I got paid $2.13/hour! On a good night, my tips would average about $10/hr. Which, looking back, was a slap in the face considering how much work it was. Even with my server experience, I still am not a great tipper. Unless they really deserve it, or when they went the extra mile, or did something not necessarily in their job description that really helped me out. I hate tipping too. One of the many reasons I wasn't too sad to leave NYC.<BR/><BR/>p.s.

I wish someone would tip me for the laundry, the dishes, the vacuuming, the tidying, the meals...<BR/>Jeff- as soon as Mark gives me a tip for all of the above mentioned, I will be sure to overnight you your well deserved tip.Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12311469499106259821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945867658721916611.post-84676967820423377892009-03-23T16:13:00.000-05:002009-03-23T16:13:00.000-05:00In all the time I've been you and Mark's friend, I...In all the time I've been you and Mark's friend, I've never gotten a tip.

Speaking of tipping hairdressers...what is ...AMEN! Speaking of tipping hairdressers...what is standard? I feel like I never know what I'm supposed to tip and I'm afraid I'm not tipping enough, but also kindof want to live in my ignorance so that I don't have to start tipping more! I mean a cut/highlight is pricey as is!!!Minghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08367568051224155789noreply@blogger.com
