Is it okay to tip in coins if you leave a big tip?
I had a ton of quarters on me at a restaurant and I found myself without bills to tip, so I left a 40% tip in quarters and apologized to the waiter on the way out... I mean, it's better than not leaving a tip, right? D: But it's still bothering me...
What do restaurant people think when you leave big tips?
none ..I don't get a tip when I do my JOB
Is it rude to leave a tip with a huge pile of coins even if its a good tip?
Hello, I ate out with my friends the other night, and all of us only had bills on us, and a LOT of change, so we put all our change together and it ended up being a HUGE pile of nickels and dimes but the tip added up to around 20%~25% of our total bill.. is it rude to tip in a bunch of coins? i felt odd doing it, but my friend told me that money is money in the end and that we left a pretty decent tip. but waitress gave us a really dirty look when we were leaving though... so is it rude to tip in a bunch of nickels and dimes even though it adds up to a lot?
Is it rude to leave coins amounting to a big amount as a tip in restaurants?
~~~ I say money is money ! If the waiter gives you odd looks,,,you may want to tell the waiter,,," your service was very good, I would like to leave you a good tip, all I have is coins,," Im sure then the waiter will say " oh that is fine" if the waiter instead cops an attitude, then he does not deserve your hard earned money.....
Leaving a penny/nickle in addition to the tip?
It means that they didn't want to carry coins around in their pocket, so they left it. Don't analyze every little thing so much. I know that you're a woman, but don't.
Is it rude to use a few (not all) coins to pay/tip at a restaurant?
Someone recently told me that it is rude to use coins to pay or tip at restaurants, and that only whole amounts are polite. For example, if a 15% tip is 1.50, I know that usually the most polite thing to do would be to round up to two whole dollars. But say you only happen to have one dollar bill and two quarters. Apparently the waiter is more offended if you leave $1.50 than if you only leave one whole dollar?? I was really shocked at that. That can't be true, can it? I know if I were the waiter, I'd rather have the proper amount, even if that means I'd be carrying around a few coins. Of course I'd try to avoid leaving the waiter a bunch of pennies and things like that. Also, as far as just paying the bill itself, say I owe $11.71 to the restaurant. I would think that giving a 20 dollar bill and one penny (as opposed to just the twenty dollar bills) would actually make less work on the waiter, since he/she would only have to bring back 8 dollars and 3 dimes, rather than digging around for 2 dimes, a nickel, and 4 pennies. Furthermore, the money (change or otherwise) you give the restaurant is eventually just consolidated into a business check or something, isn't it? So I'm not sure why giving some change just to pay the bill is necessarily rude, either. If anyone has any insight, I'd be interested! Maybe it also depends on the level of restaurant (i.e., at a fancier, more expensive restaurant, would any of the above scenarios be considered rude)?
Is it offensive to tip in change if you pay in change (coffee)?
I had one guy promise me a $10 tip but I would have to wait for him to go into the house to get it… I figured I would wait 2 or 3 minutes no big deal but I really was unsure if he would come out with the money. He came out with a big handful of quarters. I was not about to count it but it felt like it could be $10 more or less. As far as I am concerned you were giving me a tip I'm not going to bitch about what form it comes in.Another time while driving in the Rowan college area I got a call to pick up these 2 kids and take them to the convenience store. The kid asked me to end the ride and then he requested a another ride to go back to the house… a round trip would have cost him less but I was not going to complain. The total ride each way was the minimum fare give or take and paid me about $5… so I made $10. The kid apologized profusely when I dropped him off for giving me two scratched off lottery tickets that each had won $2. I looked at him and said “You are tipping me $4 on a $10 ride… you are tipping me 40 percent. Why would I be upset about that? Thank you very much have a great evening.” or words to that effect
Is it acceptable to tip a stripper using $1 coins in Canada?
In Quebec, you pay only if the girl dances exclusively for you.First option is a table dance. She dances on a stool in front of you, and just for you but in the open space of the joint. You are usually expected to keep your hands to yourself. Other patrons can look discreetly but the girl only looks at you (or is supposed to). The set price for a table dance is 5$ a song. If the girl is cool, she might take a break, not charge you and just sit and chat with you for a few songs (dressed or nude).If you want to leave the open space and go in a relatively private booth, she will do just about the same but for 10$ a song. This is called a lap dance. You can often touch and she will usually let you know that you can. Only the center area of her body is off limits but even then, sometimes it's fine as well.Some clubs go even further.Asides from the 5$ table and 10$ lap dance i've mentioned, there is no tipping. Girls try to attract clients to dance for them either in public or private and that is how they make their money.A very expensive way to enjoy the company of women. But then again, in Quebec it goes pretty far compared to other places in North America.
Should people be shamed for paying with coins at a restaurant?
I personally believe what the business did was disrespectful. In the article they call it a joke and - then in the same breath they say it was a light hearted way of making the point that what the young man did was annoying. You cannot have it both ways. It was either a joke or a mean spirited way of making a point (public shaming).Back in the day businesses used to hire cashiers to handle money transactions. Today many restaurants have gotten rid of cashiers and place the burden of cashing out a customer on the shoulders of it's wait staff. This can be incredibly stressful for a server. It can also impact a servers wages - because if they make a mistake - it is on them and not the restaurant. If under pressure they give a customer too much change back it comes out of their tips for the night - because the restaurant will be paid for the cost of the customers food order - no matter what!I made a very good living in my late teens and early twenties waiting tables in high end restaurants. I WOULD NOT do the job today because of shitty business practices like this. The employer saves money by eliminating a job and making all other workers job more stressful.I couldn't help but wonder how much this may have played into this sinerio.One final thought is that anytime I have paid in coins - and I do do this when my coin purse is getting full - the cashiers usually say thanks - that it has helped them out because they were running low on certain coins in their drawer. It is worth noting that I tend to frequent small mom and pop restaurants when I do this.I personally like to deal in cash. It helps me budget more consciously.This is a good example of how our culture is trying to move to a cashless system.Bethany
