    You gents seem really worked up about this.
    Let me tell you the secret to not tipping. Tune your own skis, fix your own bike, make your own coffee, cook your on food and clean up after yourself, buy your own booze and make your own drinks, carry your own bags.

    Ranting on an internet forum is not going to change US Labor Economics. Currently all the things above, if you want someone else to do them, should include a tip. If you dont; you are not Gahndi, you arent being the change in the world you want to see, you are being a grumpy miserly old fuck who we all would prefer stayed home.

    Hey if I send my shock in for a rebuild, should I include a tip for that?

    Are you fucking serious? Bike mechs?

    If I'm not fixing my own bike, and if I'm not having a guy-I-know who works cash under the table... I'm actually going to a bike shop and I need to tip?

    I totally bring beer for a bike mech if they are hooking me up or expediting a fix, throwing me free spares, etc.

    But otherwise I am not fucking tipping on a bike shop charging me $50-75/hr labor rates + parts like they are a car shop except the auto shop turns around my car faster than a bike shop backed up 2 weeks.

    This is exactly the kind of tip creep people are complaining about.

    Do you tip your car mech?

    Tip your plumber?

    Tip your HVAC guy?

    Tip your nurse at the ER?

    Tip your accountant?

    Tip your dental hygienist?

    Hey! Maybe I should tip my bank teller?

    What is frustrating is if you have someone give you a hard time because they want to carry your bags so you'll tip and you don't want them to so you carry your bags and they accuse you of taking food off their table.

    Should I tip the cashier at the grocery? The meat and seafood person?

    Should I tip at the liquor store when I buy a sixpack?

    Should I tip the trash collections guy?

    Should I tip the meter maid when I get a parking ticket?

    Or do we only tip businesses that use iPads?

    where this comes in handy is if the garbage technicians are work to rule/ go on-strike, i knew a guy who would invite them in for beers so they would l pickup his garbage and leave everyone else's

    I suggest people just not tip if they don't wana tip

    as opposed to acting like a cunt

    They also do that by capturing your searches, physical locations, etc, not necessarily just actual transactions, but many more ways than that.

    starting to see more of the "would you like to round up to the next dollar" at cash registers.
    So the world is filled with tubular entities. Food goes in one end and shit comes out the other. Sperm goes in and babies come out.

    or round up and donate to some cause so the company can add up all those cents and get a nice tax write off based on you rounding up

    based on the feedback I'm getting I just sent out a 58k invoice and rounded it up to 60k with a line for "contractor tip, we'll never give you the whole thing"

    The shiny side has to go on the outside, or else it’s worthless.
