If he sees (some of the same) people 300 times a night. (1 person per minute for a 5 hour shift)...

maybe every 5th or 7th person tips a buck?
maybe every 20th person tips a 5.

Math majors, please?

175$?

Tipping is fucking gay.

The only thing i didn't like in America was having to tip everyone for everything.....

This guy agrees with you:

At least this guy could help make your restroom experience better.

I don't need nor want a guy to make my restroom experience 'better' beyond just taking a piss and washing my hands.

Why stiff the bathroom guy

How are you 'stiffing' him? He's not providing you a bill. You go in, do your business, and that's it.

Just attempt to shake his hand after you take a leak without washing them....

A quick story. When I was 18 I could get into a casino cuz it was on a college campus so the age limit was 18. I met my dad there and he hit a royal flush on the video poker machine. It paid him 4 grand. He had to wait for the lady to come give him the cash, about 20 minutes. He then gave her 3 hundred bucks as a tip. I asked him why he gave her so much. His answer to me was simple "300 bucks to me is nothing, it could feed her family for a week". Ever since then I tip pretty well, I respect people who work for a living. Besides, would you really miss a buck?

danielson, I like your dads attitude. I think people who don't tip wait staff are assholes. If you get lousy service, fine, but anybody who knows someone who has worked waiting tables, know that the majority of their pay comes from tips. Just factor it into what you are going to spend on dinner that night.

Exactly. I dine out a lot and I usually tip 30% or more if the service is good. And guess what, when I go back I am treated even better.

True story. I worked at an office once where we ordered lunch out a lot. I picked it up one time from a place. The food was great and I actually took the time to call them and tell them, I got the owner on the phone and she paused after I told her that and was like "wow, nobody ever calls unless it's to complain" and after that she would give us free drinks and dessert when we ordered from there. I didn't do it for that reason, but it felt good to know she thought that much of it.

Cool story, it helps to be nice. I have one more quick one before I have to leave for a bit. Back in 2003 I was going to lunch with my boss who was also my long time buddy. We noticed an old minivan with a popped tire. So we got out to help. We changed the tire and followed her to a tire shop. She didn't appear to have much money(and at the time our business was doing good, real good) so my buddy ran into the shop real quick while I sat and chatted with her. He came out, told her it was going to be an hour and invited her to lunch. She said something like "an hour? for one tire? Did they tell you how much it is going to cost me?" He told her the tires looked bald and he was buying her 4 new ones and not to worry about a thing. She broke down and cried on the spot. Said she had never witnessed such generosity. Now 220 bucks to him was nothing, but I am pretty sure it helped this lady tremendously. She went to lunch with us and was a very nice older lady, must have thanked him 50 times. It honestly touched me what he did for her.

That's very generous of your dad, but I still don't get why your dad would 'tip' the lady for giving him the money he WON.

I can see where tipping could come into play, but geezus, c'mon...

Are you gonna tip the garbage man for picking up your trash twice a week or whatever?

technically that would be against the law. Same as tipping the mailman.

How many of you Getbiggers go to a nice restaurant or club and end up going to the restroom only to see one of those annoying attendants? Do ya tip 'em?

Me? Nope! I'm not about to 'tip' just because I had to go to the restroom and wash my hands.

I understand this job suited for a blind man or somebody handicap, but somebody that is able to get a better job, then fucking do it!

It's simple for me. If i have the cash to spare i'll tip the guy, if i don't than i won't.

50 bucks at Christmas. It's pretty typical here where I live.

Ours are private companies. Now a few cities over in Pontiac, garbage is taken care of by the city.

I don't mean on a special occasion such as Christmas. I mean on an ordinary week.
