tipping is a sore subject for me, some of you might disagree with me but here is why (and first off, it is not because i am trying to save a dollar either). When was the last time anyone ever gave you a tip?? i own a constuction company an i tell you, no one has ever gave me 10% more than what the final bill came to. i would say majority of the people are trying to screw me out of money, why does this cost so much, what about this what about that. i am out there busting my @#$ for these people to give them thier dream house and i can tell you, no one has ever gave me nothing. sometimes i wonder why i even get up in the morning (oh yeah to make other people happy) i have been in business for 25 years here and have done well, but i tell you, if i was to take one of these guiding trip, i sure as hell would leave no tip, they allready soak you a couple of grand (or more)so they are allready getting their cut, thats what they get paid to do, why give more??? because they did a good job? i do a good job too but what do i get??? i think you all know by now. so that is where i stand on tipping people, i dont agree with it, i do not tip at restaurants either because half the time the tip you left doesnt even go to that waiter/waitress it goes into a collection for that night and then every staff member get a cut, as well as the cooks, well tell me this, if one staff member say gets 100 dollars in tips that night and another gets 50, well the person that only got 50 will come out with 75 and the one that got 100 just lost 25 dollars because they now have 75 as well, because of this collection system and i think, well, the person i just gave that tip to should get what i gave them not split up amongst everone eaqually. anyways thats why i am so against tipping, and like i said it is not because i am cheap or anthing like that. and before you all start replying back to me about and calling me a prick or whatever i just want to say that this is my opinion only. i do hope that some of you agree with me but if you dont that is fine you are entitled to your onpinions too. thanks for listening to what i have to say.
