Tipping with change tells the waiter/waitress that you're cheap/a stiff.

No, I give them an whole dollar amount. To me, it's like leaving pennies on the table if I give them 8.82 so I'd rather just give them the full 9.

Thats why when I tip badly I leave a written note on the reciept explaining why I put 2 pennies (my $.02) in an upside down glass full of soda in the middle of the table.

If you are wondering how I get a full glass of soda upside down, I have a small piece of thin plastic that I have in my car, put it on top of the glass, flip the glass, and pull the plastic out. Then wipe up any spillage and hope that the table is truly flat and the top of the glass is also flat or it will spill all over you. I've only done it 2x and it worked fine both times. And yes i am a dick.

Well I don't care, I 'm answering in this thread! I round up, for some reason I thought it would just be easier for me to, though now I don't know where I came up with that faulty logic I never carry cash so I always charge it.

Well the past 2 days I have been sitting in with my friend Sarah (white girl) at the black jack table to try to learn how to play. I must be the only asian that can't add. Anyway today I sat down and the dealer started saying that the kind of people that sit at the Pai Gow table do not tip. Which i realized were all asians. And then random asians that are regular would come, sit down and leave, and when they do he would say how they don't tip. Then i started to get this feeling that my kind were not wanted there since apparently most of us don't tip and I was prejudged before I even sat down. He's probably like "oh shit, this asian girl isn't going to tip me. UGGGGHHHHH!"

When I left I realized that it was pretty inappropriate how he was trash talking and was probably trying to guilt people into tipping him. Which Sarah did end up tipping him significantly higher than she did anyone else yesterday so I guess it worked.

First of all, I just wanna say that I'm half white (the bottom half). I tip very well, especially to foxy mamas.

Wait, in another thread you said the bottom half was black. Now it's white? I guess you just got out of the pool. Must have been some shrinkage.

Actually, they only get the tip if you win.

Is that how much they are suppose to give to God/Church? I thought it was 10% or so. I don't know enough Jews to get all of the jokes besides the straight up stereotypical ones I hear from a morning talk show host who is Jewish.

We need a racist/sexist/homophobic/heterophobic/anti-christian/et al joke thread with one hell of a disclaimer in the beginning.
