So, I used to be as bad as the following groups of people you're about to read about -- but from my observations, these are the worst people alive, (in the aspects of tipping).
Christians. (and yes, I am a Christian...)
We have a horrible reputation in the food service industry. We are the worst and most stingy tippers. Whenever I see a group of youth kids with tshirts that make it obvious that they're on a mission trip and they all get ice cream on a single tab, I can just assume that I'm mostly likely not going to get a very big tip, if any of a tip. There are a couple instances where I'm proven wrong, but it just doesn't give the Christian community a good name when your group has a $90.00 order, and you don't leave a tip. The drunks that come in on a week night tip better than you.
Middle-Aged Men.
You guys don't tip. Ever. And even though you alway order a milkshake, which, let me tell ya, takes a little more effort on our side than just scooping a dish, you still don't tip. whatsupwiththat?!
People who find Mullets Humorous. (but not enough to tip)
At the ice cream shop I work at, we have a sign on the tip jar, "Everytime you don't tip, a child gets a mullet" It's a fun, quirky way of getting the customers' attentions. The most agrivating thing is when the customer is paying, and you see them laugh to themselves or point out our tip jar to their friends, and then don't tip. like serious? are you for realz?
---------------------------------
I started working at the ice cream shop this past May, and I live off the tips that I make. That's how I pay for all of the random necessities of living. My paychecks go towards rent/groceries/gas but tips go towards everything else. Tips make it a decent paying job -- but they aren't a stable fixed income.
When you go get ice cream, or a something, just expect to pay $1 extra, and throw it in the tip jar. The workers will appreciate it more than you think, and if you can't spare an extra dollar, (or fifty cents at the least), don't get ice cream. Haha, just kidding. You can get ice cream.
I found this humorous (enough to tip them) ;) at my favorite place to eat, McDougals.
