PHOTO: Man Refuses to Tip Bartender, Leaves This Note Instead

The cashier is not providing me with a personal service. My interaction with the cashier is negligible, perhaps three minutes worth, and no words need to be exchanged. The cashier is not doing anything to make my experience anything different from anyone else's experience. No tip.

 

The upscale grocery stores here in Minneapolis will do it, and also Wal Marts. I don't go to the bling stores and I usually only go to Wal Mart for dry goods--prepackaged food, canned goods and frozen food, and paper products.

When I was a teen I was a carryout at a garden store. I would sometimes receive tips if I carried out a lot of stuff--40 lbs bags of dirt, bags of fertilizer, potted plants and flowers, etc. I figured I was getting a tip for carrying stuff that the customer didn't want to carry or couldn't carry.

 

I have heard from people who know better that generally the cheapest group to dine out is the after-church lunch crowd. If true, what a wonderful testimony.

 

When I put my groceries on the conveyor belt I segregate them so it's easier for me to bag them properly. Frozen food first, then refrigerated products, then boxed items, then canned or glass jar items, then anything else, and finally, produce. So I should tip a cashier for putting my things into bags according to the way I placed them on the conveyor belt? Don't think so.

 

As you said in an earlier post:

 

To the troll. While in college ... at the then best restaurant in a 75 mile radius.

 

I'm sure waitresses everywhere are ecstatic that you've compared their jobs to moving packages past a scanner and then putting them in a bag.

Imagine asking a cashier:
"Could you recommend a nice orange juice that will go with Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal?"

"Are the frozen salmon fillets fresh?"

 

Around here you would get some dirty looks if you start bagging your own stuff. Here the stores pay people to do that, and it is their JOB that pays them real money, that helps keep them off of welfare and unemployment.

 

Would that be anything like paying a Pastor 200k a year, plus a house, car allowance, phone, health insurance, life insurance etc.

How many of these overpaid pastors ever feel called by God to move on to another ministry in the backwoods somewhere. No they fight to stay in these positions, even when severe personal sin is brought out.

I think it is ridiculous what some of these CEO's and lets throw in what professional athletes make.

 

Yep, there are a fair number making $100,000 and more. Also pastors receive many tax breaks that you and I cannot take advantage of. So their reportable income can be far below that figure.
