I went to the car wash to get my seats cleaned because I had a coupon - the service was like $60 for everything - so I paid with credit card.

Well when the car is done I realize I have to tip and my wallet had 2 Twenties and 3 One dollar bills.

They have no change, they have a cashier about 40 yards away but there is a line and the cars behind me are piling up.

So I tipped $3 on $60.

I'll bet they're talking about it still :(

I'm considering calling the manager and telling them what a great job the dude did - maybe that'll get him on the manager's good side.

Ever happen to you?

usually we can cover a good tip between us all though if for some reason we're leaving it in cash.

kind weird for them to not have any change and only take cash tips. i probably would had left a 20 in that situation especially if i was planning to go back at some point. what would you had tipped if they had change?

>what would you had tipped if they had change?

The coupon took off $10 :)

They aren't seeing any of that $10 off.

>They aren't seeing any of that $10 off.
If I'd have had a $10 in cash I'd have probably given it to the guy.

My normal inclination would have been $6 or $7.

I only tipped $3 :(

of the service not the coupon amount too

one time I worked in Philly at a print shop and would hook up the restaurant down the block with menus at a reduced price. Dude said to come in for dinner and he would return the favor.

He gave my wife and I a full course meal on the house. I tipped $20 and my wife was like “Damn!!! What are you doing??” I replied. We just had an amazing $80 meal for free.. why wouldn’t I hook dude up with a nice tip?

DALLAS LAKERICKS LETS GO!!

because he admits he had cash AND they had change but since there was a line and he had to “walk” he said fuck it..

and to top it off he didn’t say he would circle back to tip dude he said he would sent an email on some “good job kiddo”

handle is at that age where they start holding onto that money.

now I wonder if the kid who did a good job was white? prolly not.

You need to get banned for a bit, shit's WAY out of line.

and now you feel guilty but not guilty enough to go back and make the kid whole

"I don't carry cash" just means "I'm a cheapskate"

like they're really out here asking for people's cashapp or QR codes lol

and he had cash.. he just didn’t want to give it.

>and he had cash.. he just didn’t want to give it.


the "culture" has made him think its ok not to tip, just send a nice email to their boss lol

out of laziness

and he saved $10 with a coupon

the audacity of it all.

and saying I should be banned is confirmation that attendant who did a good job wasn’t white.

I always get mad stressed when i remember I have to tip lower wage earning folks cash:

car washers
parking attendants
Full service gas attendants
doormen
concierges

etc.

Ive avoided getting gas sometimes for that reason. In general though I hate full service gas, fuck jersey.

I haven’t seen that in 20 years. I used to avoid the gas stations that had them too because I felt like a punk asking somebody to pump my gas for me.

I felt like a punk asking
>somebody to pump my gas for me.


I think certain states are full service

NJ and Oregon come to mind

mandatory? if i have a choice and i use an attendant, of course i should tip. but where i'm forced to use an attendant...nah

or at least lutheran. it might be in your best interest to learn how to deal with this guilt. either "fuck it i did it" or come up with some kind of voluntary community service-oriented penance

just wasn't thinking because it was a drive through, but they detailed and did the interior after.

shit was looking right too. I promptly said thanks and drove away. then I remembered like oh shit! but I was on my way to Bama from GA.

Luckily, it was a short trip. on the way back, I stopped by and gave him $15 and an apology.

Fact is, absent signiticantly more context, you were straight up too lazy to get change and come back.

There's no way around it.

detailed. Never even crossed my mind for some reason, which is weird because I always tip at the basic carwash...I get the $10 wash and have them put an extra 5 on my card for a tip. But when I get a detail (which is anywhere from 150 to 300 depending on the level of detail I get) I never even thought to add a tip...

Maybe because a detail feels like more of a car maintenance/mechanic type of service? I mean no one is tipping when they are getting new brake pads installed, tires rotated, or an oil change. But since I always tip at the regular car wash now I feel like a jerk...

but I’m not rewarding bad service with a healthy tip out of guilt.

I tip on carry out orders since the pandemic hit too.

but if I lived in Jersey there is no fucking way I would tip every time I got gas.

My wife used to be a server, so she helped me with it.

I did once just leave a note on the receipt tho. $1 tip and wrote do better. He was terrible.

he was a waiter

and when I bussed tables at an upscale restaurant I saw first firsthand what them tips do

it’s never happened to me…

if I got it like that and the service good, it’s the twenty. the manager may not like him, company policies might suck, etc…

I like to take care of the waiter/waitress as if I was the one serving.
