I just ordered some pizza from my favorite place, which came out to $28.50. I gave the guy $30 and he looked like a punched him in the face. He starred at me, and finally said, 'Alright...' and walked slowly away. Wtf? Is that not an okay tip? I really don't want to give a $2.50 tip unless the weather REALLY sux. Am I missing something here?

Is there a delivery charge? If so the driver usually gets most of that and i factor that into the tip. If not I'll give a couple extra. Delivering pizza sucks.

Edit.....also the place we order from knows us pretty well. They are very fast to deliver and alot of times will bring some free shit( 2 liter or some garlic bread or something) because we order alot and tip well. Usually five bucks if I've ordered $25 or more.

Was this an old guy named Lionel at Pete's Pizza? I almost decked that fucker once when he did incorrect math and then verbally abused me due to his idiotic math error.

I fucking hate tipping. Not that I begrudge them the $ but having to sit there and figure it out LOL Just wish the tip is included in the total price.

Also hate tip jars sitting there silently judging me...obnoxious. just figure it into my coffee, pizza, snack, whatever.

I nearly peed my pants from laughing last year in San Francisco when a place I was making a reservation at demanded a 20% surcharge to pay for insurance for its employees. I never could really be sure if he was some right-wing dickhead trying to show everybody how much Obama was costing them (like that little shit stain that owns Papa John's) or some totally moronic restaurateur with a really bad idea. Either way, I told them to fuck off.

And the tip jars are pretty annoying - but not as annoying as the great number of stores that ask you to donate at the register. "Do you want to give a dollar to help pay the salaries of those who run this or that charity?"

YESSS! You feel like a shitheel if you only give like $1. But I do all my shopping together, so by the 8th transaction I'm getting little miffed. Plus, ppl blindly give to these charities without really knowing how much of their $ actually goes to the cause. I usually say "no thanks" and donate to my charities of choice. (and I don't dickishly say, as I hear others say, "no thanks, I already give to XYZ.") that's even douchier than just saying "not thanks"

My local grocery store does this, I make them repeat who the charity is and if its not the local food bank(a highly worthy charity), I tell them to take it out of their exorbitant profits.

I walked into a competing dispensary to buy some of their in house BHO (it's good and I am not a petty competitive fuck type of bud tender, there is enough business out there for everyone)
what I saw made me just about throw up in my mouth.
A 12" x 6" X 6" Jar with a giant picture of a cow on it with big letters saying: "IT'S NOT JUST FOR COWS!"
I did not tip and I will not return. How can any ASSHOLE reach into that jar and take tips at the end of the day and feel good about himself?

As it is I am in a constant fight with my coworkers replacing the "karma jar" post it note wrapped around our tiny tip jar, that I remove, at my dispensary.
