I always say thank you to the wait staff before and after a meal. I don't know why and when I say it but I just say it and feel ashamed later

I do this often. Is there anyone here doing or have done this before?

I do it too

even to the door man..

its simple courtesy, it goes a long way to them!

Nope, I just say "B*tch come over here, where's my bill?"

I do that always...I see it as a way of appreciating them on their job.

if the service is shitty…I ain't saying any shiit

They are hmans you know and we all have feelings. Dont be surprised that waitress knows your job & is smarter than you.

Yeah! I do

Yah I do. It happens unconsciously; you just say it without knowing. Op you don't need to feel ashamed there's nothing wrong with doing that, it depicts courtesy

Sure, their smiles alone go u say thank u

Not all the time. You do not expect me to say thank you to a waiter who is clumsy, rude or mixes up your order do you?

it only means your well cultured

I say thank you to anybody that has ever rendered me their services, not limited to restaurants only. I think thats expected.

Darn! You are tight-fisted. Lol

Ordinary "Thank You" isn't enough - you need to imbibe the culture of giving tips. It goes a long way.

I know nyggahs don't give tips, but you can't be niggerish forever.

Yes I say thank you because she is not my slave even if she was a slave, she is still a human. The waitress job she is doing is a paid job. its the same thing as someone coming to your office and you render services to them, ofcourse they'ld tell you thank you. There is no need to feel ashamed @op.

What's the reason for the question?

Yes I do...
I even say it to cab men and at times bus drivers and conductors...
Most of those times I am at their mercy...
They had some powers to do and undo things....
Giving it out doesn't cost me anything and can just mean a lot to someone

Why not ask them if thank you should not be accompanied by a tip.

I do that,is ntin to be ashamed of

No. They thank me instead.

Lolz ...m I give tips always. Even if the waiter/waitress was rude .
Just saying I say thank you every where. You don't expect me to give the bus driver or a cashier at the till tips.

Open ya mouth...I can see porky pies in there loool. Naija chics are tight as fvck - it is all about freebies loool.

When was the last time you gave anyone a tip?

I don't need to lie on issues like this.
The last time I was at a hair dressing salon, I left a tip.
You just have to generalize don't you? And how many naija chics do u even know.

Lol. Why are you getting emosh (emotional) now? Bring ya batty here, let me smack it.

Just trying to teach you the art of giving tips...good to know you do it already lol.

Hair dressing? Brazilian hair or Somalian hair? Loool

some places you are expected to leave tips.

other places, you are not.

i think possibly places that are unionized (officially/legally) do not push for tips, since they push for salary increases instead.

My point exactly. It is just shameful to stand up from a table after being served by a waiteress/waiter without leaving a tip. Those people depend heavily on the tips.
I give tips to anyone I can give to.
You dont expect me to tip a bus driver, or a nurse (well Nigeria is an exception). In cases like this a "Thank you" should suffice.

tips are expected overseas in certain occupations.

In Nigeria too, people sometimes tip bus conductors, food servers, etc.


I think bus drivers are unionized and have good pay and benefits, likewise nurses (abroad). In Nigeria, tips for non-food related professions can be in various forms such as food items, beverages, clothing, etc. Not just cash. Actually, they'd be considered gifts, not tips.

No.
Why should I?
Isn't the tip enough to indicate appreciation?
Isn't service delivery one of the things I paid for?

I do it always
knowingly and unknowingly

Lol. I own 90% of ya batty like the naija Jews . So, it is my ordained right from the most high to give you tips on how to tip. Call it the art/act of tipping 101.

Darn! I now see why ya hair is super-nappy lol.

Lol!

I used to greet everyone I come across at a point

Say thank you and hi to everyone for every service

It is courtesy

It's a Simple Courtesy to say 'thank you' to service providers. Waitress, cable guy, handymen, Cops, etc

15% is a must for waitresses , I usually tip more if the service is superb!

*Check on me occasionally when my food is running late.
*Check on me to find out if my food tastes good.
*Top up my drinks
*Put a smile on your face

You'll earn yourself 25% for sure.
