As a broke college student, it's downright evil to misuse someone’s e-book and study materials! I literally used afterpay to get my textbooks last semester and lucked out by only having to buy one full price textbook this semester!
Story 2: either that poor boy is going to be pitied by his entire class, or made fun of because of a psycho mom stalking one of his classmates over a picture. She will be very, very lucky if this girl's parents don't find out and take serious action against her. And the worst part about all of this is that her son did not care nearly as much as she did, so she's not doing him any favors.
@@jeremiahsmith2037 Depends on how the kid plays it. If he rolls his eyes and says 'Just be glad you don't have to live with her', he might get more sympathy than teasing.
@Jimmy Garza The thing is...he didn't mind. Sure he was a bit sad that he wasn't included, but he ultimately just shrugged it off in the end. Ohhh jeez...I have a feeling that he's going to be one of those kids that apologize on behalf of his mom for being a terrible person.
As someone in an interracial marriage myself, it brings me so much joy when rslash calls out creepy Asian fetishists. It feels like he’s standing up for his wife, which is really heartwarming ❤
Here in Australia, we don't do tips, we just pay people decent wages. But when I was about 12, I got a haircut from a literal ninja. Dude was duel wielding scissors like a boss! The haircut was $20 and I gave him a $2 coin I had in my wallet and said it was a tip. He was shocked and didn't really know what to do. I had to explain that I was so impressed that I was essentially donating $2 to him. Tipping is INCREDIBLY rare here in Aus and only reserved for the most amazing sh*t you've ever seen.
--- Indeed, tip / gratuity-culture is very varied around the world: Primarily the restaurants in Australia, Finland, Brazil, and Norway for example generally expect "no tips at all, neutral/grateful when tipped" (according to Wikipedia "Gratuity"-article). It's still a nice option give a small bonus to exceptional-performances, especially if it can be done in "clandestine"-way like it is possible to do on some "platform economies" like say on "Wolt"-delivery / courier-service. USA is just "bonkers" where they're expecting tips of (minimum) of 15-20%! ...I just don't what else to add there what hasn't been already said umpteenth-time... ---
In Japan a tip is an insult to the establishment. Visitors who don't know that are startled by servers chasing them down in the street to give them their money back.
Don’t get me wrong tipping culture here in the USA is ridiculous and many states have a very low minimum wage. But where I live the minimum wage (converting USD to Australian dollars) is actually higher than in Australia. I have friends that work as servers at restaurants that make over 100k a year. And that’s not in the big cities.
Tipping should be rare everywhere. It was intended to be a reward for someone going above and beyond their job requirements. Now it's expected even if you do everything yourself. Bunch of nutbags running this place. Y'all's sides must hurt constantly from rolling laughing
There are many places that do tips differently, some places have a high standard for tips so if you tip what you regularly do in like the states, they would be offended, and other areas don't do tips and they can sometimes be awkward when you try to give them tips. Moral of the story, when going someplace with a different culture, maybe look up tipping customs for where you'll be.
“I might have been the AH here.” No shit, lady! What a world we live in where you actually have to tell someone that yes, it is a bad thing to harass kids!
Story 2: As a digital artist myself, OP'S behavior really got under my skin. Anyone would've dropped it completely and not push the issue, but damn, stalking and bullying because her son didn't get a drawing?? Like, the drawing isn't for OP, why is she so mad for? If I were the girl, I would've just drew a crappy drawing just to piss off this OP Karen.
The pain of being an artist. I used to draw in class a lot and got asked soooo many times whether I could draw a portrait of the person watching me (I didn't like to be watched while drawing in the first place). I did it just to be rid of them, and one of them even had the audacity to tell me it was an ugly sketch. I told them that that was a bummer and to go draw a self portrait then if my sketch was so bad. Nowadays I don't do commissions at all, idc if I can earn some cash with it. People can be ridiculously demanding and rude when asking for a drawing.
For that story about the mom bullying her son’s friend who didn’t draw him or something weird like that…I’d be surprised if RSlash gave her anything less than a 4/5. I mean wow. Just wow. How was she not arrested for this?
@@morgandouglas6014 she's the kinda person that'd get mad if her 5 yo son jut drew himself and the father just to show it to mom nd her demand where her drawing is
The free dog sitting actually worked out in my opinion. The cousin got a great opportunity to try a new city. The one sister gets to have all the free time the wants. And the other sister still saves money, AND gets to help her cousin. OP can suck it up because she wasn’t invested in the chance to help… her sister!
I miss one sentence and the goon squads get all butthurt 🤣🤣🤣 Who cares if she lived with her parents or under a bridge. OP Chose…. Not to help without payment. She got what she wanted. To Not dogsit Without pay. Very Simple.
Yes, as I'm reading that I'm thinking this girl clearly doesn't know people do house/pet sitting on EXACTLY these terms. Who expects free rent and utilities AND wages for pet sitting your sister's dogs? Also since when does dog care take HOURS per day?
@@fdm2155 Don't forget Op is not using any money for the dogs and sister will pay for doggy daycare during exams periods or if op wanted a vaction. She says she likes the offer but wanted to sweeten the pot like, I saw someone saying that the op wasn't entitled, but she is. "Well op is offering a a service" and the sister is offering goods in return, a free place to live for 6 months along with no utilities costs along with a place closer to op's school.
im watching 3 dogs for my family in august and i wouldve probably done it for free if they hadnt all agreed to pay me since its a lot longer than their usual absences
@@orchidoxs126 Yes, OP says she can't afford to move out of the parent's home, sister offers to make that possible. OP just got a life lesson about being unreasonable!
@@fdm2155Depends on the dogs. Feeding, cleaning up after them, walking etc can easily take hours a day. Me and my collie went on a 3 hour run today, that still isn't enough for her
she jumped to the sexism route because OP said that her and her friends were wrong about some things and so OP was mansplaining. which, i'm pretty sure is not how mansplaining works lol. she just was mad because she's a bitch who isn't getting her way anymore because she pushed her limits.
For the story about the tipping. Its all about perspective. I tip my barber of 20 years, $10 on a $22 cut. But he also washes your hair and spends an easy 20-30 minutes on his customers. We chit chat, joke, and talk about our families and lives. He even has food for his regular customers on major holidays. He earns that tip and then some. He's one of the nicest and most caring people I know
100% agree. If it’s a quick cut probably a small tip unless you’re close with them but if it’s a cut, color and/or a bunch of other things it’s reasonable to want a tip.
As an artist i can understand the feelings of that girl being told to draw the karen's son, its really frustrating because if we dont feel like drawing something it's just gonna turn out bad and we wont be happy with it either, its just all bad energy vibe from that drawing 🙄 im glad the girl was headstrong considering she was a kid, this shit happens too much to all fellow artists
Story 2: Here's the thing. Artists. Don't. Have. To. Draw. Anyone. I get asked the "can you draw me" question and it's annoying at times. If she has beef with the kid or doesn't know how to draw them that's ok, art takes time and sometimes you just get to the point you forget details, it's normal
Also good on the girl for having the sense of charging to draw someone if a person insists. What can you say? Artists deserve to be compensated for their work.
If the person on the first story would use as much time with the regular materials as she did with making those phone calls, she would be doing just fine with her studies.
I really hate it when some people go the route of “I didn’t like your reasoning, so I’m just going to call you [insert prejudice title] and invalidate you”
@@lorilancaster5917 - She likely used the same websites that the scammers from India used. And yes, OP should have gone to the dean about this EB, that's entitled bench, she was well past being a choosing begger. What she did would have been seen as being harassment by the dean and many others.
As someone that works as a live in housekeeper... You have to be *so* so careful who you work for. It's contract work so you're kinda stuck unless you want to deal with that mess. There's a lot of people who will try to take advantage of someone working and living in their home. Also this goes for every job, but read EVERYTHING you sign. And keep copies of the original that you sign. Read those too and make sure they're the same. Good luck and stay safe
Fifth story : YTA, taking care of 2 dogs does NOT prevent you from finding a job. You don't need to take them out on walks 24 times a day. You are living rent free. You have ANY idea how much it cost to rent these days? They are basically already paying you, in the form of the RENT! Plus the shorter commute to university. Plus they are likely paying the utility as well. So what do you have to pay ? Your phone and food (if mom doesn't bring it for you). You can certainly get a part time job easily. The dogs are not stopping you, YOU are stopping yourself.
When my dad was alive, he always ALWAYS heads towards this barber college that have a baber shop filled with students learning. The "manager" is actually their teacher and makes sure the students get help of the person asks for a haircut they never learned. It is so cool and wholesome how many people come by everyday and tip the students from $3 - $10. Sometimes they screw up but we all understand since it's a baber school. I recall that I was a small wee kid and got a barber who never cut a hairstyle so long. He was freaking out and asked his teacher for help. The teacher showed him how the round trim works and stood there beside him to make sure he is doing alright. My dad tip him $5 afterwards. It was so nice 🥺🥺
Second AITA story: justice has been served, you tried to take advantage of your sister and it backfired because you were stupid enough to believe that you are the only option even though there is a college near that flat. I'm a college student and tell that story to all my friends say nearby and they all called you stupid.
To the mom getting mad at a $13 haircut with a $7 tip, those stylists work almost nonstop if they're busy, are expected to get cuts done (and done well) in 15 minutes, yeah $7 isn't that bad. A cosmetology/ barbering license is expensive, the tools are expensive (a good clipper can costs upwards of $150), so you're paying for their time, expertise, and the cut. Also, there is an option to not leave a tip on card. You type in $0
I just spent 3 months in Africa and returned home 2 days ago. Tbh, it was nice living in a place where tips are not expected on literally everything. In fact, the only people who hoped for a tip were the restroom attendants and the gas station attendants (yes, they still have live attendants for both there!). Not servers, not barbers, not coffee shops, nobody else. I was about to leave a tip for a busboy and my friend stopped me and told me he'd consider it flirting and tipping them was weird!
I think he reserves the 5/5 for if psycho mom had straight up physically attacked the girl or something like that. There's always room for more crazy 🤪
Imagine your just minding your own business, drawing people and from the bushes a wild Karen starts yelling at you to draw her “precious baby for free” 😂
Sorry, what is a “Freedom School”? That sounds like something an American would create to differentiate themselves from a country who doesn’t want to go with them to war. (I say this as an American who *was* one of those people in 2003 or so...😅)
It takes a special kind of person to brag about being a 24 yo homeowner with a busy schedule, but who can't afford more than $100 p/w for a maid. That's like bragging you own a Mercedes, but not telling anyone about the part where you're $28K in debt and the car's bout to get repossessed
Dog sitter story makes me angry & laugh at the end. When I was looking into colleges in high school, one of my picks was near my cousin & his wife. They offered to put me us in their house rent-free in exchange for being a live-in babysitter for their two kids. While I ended up going elsewhere, I still happily agreed to the arrangement at the time. I love my little cousins, & I was so grateful that they offered me such a generous arrangement. OP got what she deserved here.
When I get a hair cut and beard trim it usually comes out to $45-ish bucks, the guy who cuts my hair is great, have good conversations, and the place gives free alcohol. So I tip at least $15 for the haircut, beard trim, hair wash. If I were getting my haircut at a regular great clips or super cuts I wouldn't tip nearly as much cuz the services are so-so
The second story reminds me of my mom. One time she came into class in the middle of a math test to yell at a girl that was bullying me until she cried, and another time she stomped onto the bus to outright demand I be allowed to switch seats. And she wonders why I don't tell her anything.
Like, the drawing isn't for OP, why is she acting like the drawing was for her? Also, if the girl doesn't want to draw the son, that's her choice! I'll just draw a stick figure for the OP Karen just to see her blow up..
Story 1: well, you're definitely not getting that new password now. Maybe you shouldn't victimize yourself because you overstepped your boundaries 🤔 Story 2: OH, found the Karen! Story 3: No way that maid is staying past several days (Story 4): "I feel like tipping culture is getting out of hand in America," DABNEY, YOU THINK!? (Damn, the video already has two dislikes.) Story 5: OH THE SWEET SWEET TASTE OF VICTORY THAT COMES FROM HAVING YOUR BLUFF BEEN CALLED ONLY TO RAISE THE CALLER A REALITY CHECK. Yeah, you really cocked up on that horse, OP. Good show and thanks for the dopamine. Story 6: ... Is this Wedding Tycoon? Because charging entry of several hundred bucks for entry to what is probably going to be a Bridezilla Experience sounds like Wedding Tycoon (and, no. that's not a real video game; I'm just piggybacking off of how people can set the price to go to the bathroom in an amusement park to $100 in RCT) Story 7: I'd have downed the tea in a single succ out of sheer spite. Story 8: Ok, I'm never going to DC then. Story 9: Ladies and gentlemen... we've found the toilet paper panic buyer. Also, I need another dab after you threw in that bit of irony Dabney HOLY SHIT HAHAHAHAHA
I have a problem understanding main difference between stories 3 and 5. They both provide living with no rent for 3-4 hours of work a day, but story 3 also provides food and pay, story 5 does not. Is there something I don't see that makes it really unreasonable for OP in story 5 to ask for pay?
@NoLuck Game Yeah, OP in story 5 assumed that the Aunt was being stingy and tried to make a power play, only to play themselves. So, the cousin got the house instead.
4th story: the car wash just outside of my neighborhood is one of those drive-thru, self-serve vacuum types without an attendant in sight. Even the pay kiosk is automated. It also asks how much I want to tip before completing the sale. Tip who - the owner?
The first story: “I might’ve been the bad guy” No you were being the wicked witch and could’ve gotten arrested. It’s a freaking drawing by a kid, thank god it isn’t my child cause you would be in the hospital.
Okay so yeah, not entirely fair of the girl to leave just a few people out when she drew everyone else, but it’s an “Oh well, move on.” kind of thing. HOLY CRAP did that mother blow it WAYYYYYY out of proportion. Yikes.
First story: sometimes I think people like that Karen - ones who obsessively and aggressively try to demand/force contact with other people - should be on a register. That’s a red flag for more than just a bad friend or girlfriend.
I used to draw constantly as a kid, and a parent did exactly the same thing to me when I was like 13. I wasn't even that great. Like, better than anyone else in my class, but my class was eight people. I found an old sketchbook recently and felt kind of like Napoleon Dynamite. "Yeah, I spent like two hours shading your upper lip." But I was also a wet paper towel and ended up doing the demanded drawing, and the pushy parent loved it, so I guess that's, uh... flattering?
The free dog sitting story got me when the OP updated with I made a mistake. The only reason they think they made a mistake is because they realize they had no leverage not that they were being greedy lol
I think I remember rSlash or maybe another reddit youtuber reading that last picture once and he made a joke that went like "Wow, strippers earn that much? I'm in the wrong profession then!"
the problem about the tipping is that it is tax free in most countries so many buisnesses that make these add a tip options are actually taking the tips for the company and the servers never see the tip. if you want to give a tip then give it to the workers yourself.
Story 3: You can tip whatever you want. It's a tip. If you wanna be cheap, then be cheap. It's $30 for me to get a fade, and my beard trimmed. It only takes 30 minutes. I tip $20 each time, and I think that's a pretty normal tip. Tip on the quality of what you're getting done, not the time.
I love how even the son in the second story don't want to ask the girl for drawings cuz he already assumes she's mad at him and don't want to make things worse, yet OP doesn't care. It's not even about his son getting a drawing anymore, it's about OP not getting what she wants.
For the dog sitting story, I kinda understand why some would say shes a CB but i also kinda get her side. The sister said that she would still pay for the house and utilities (which is a lot but she would have still paid for that stuff anyways) as well as dog stuff (again, already wouldve paid for that). But like OP needs food, gas, clothes etc. Nowhere in that did it say they would pay for that stuff. And again, I get how that can sound selfish but OP kinda has to live to be able to take care of the dogs.
The crazy mother stalked a teenager who didn't wanna draw her son. The son himself tried to make his mother stop he apologized to the girl. She was nuts.
On the tips topic: It also doesn't help that there are loopholes in US employment laws that effectively say that if you work a job that gets tips, you can be paid less than minimum wage, so corporations try to incentivize customers into tipping so they can either steal the tips or steal their employee's wages.
The story of the of dog sitting: Karma was driving a 18 wheeler and the OP felt the truck was going to stop before hitting her. Instead the truck keeled going. As a side note: THIS is the kind of content I love and would like to see more off. I love hearing/part reading (I have the video play as I do other things) people asking for free things and being told “TF. Go away”
On the tipping thing... you'd be tipping the ppl who cooked your food, plus for the extra work they do like staying late to close/waking up extra early to open. In my personal case...I work at an "express service" carwash so I don't hand dry the cars or vacuum them, so we charge less than the "full service" locations that employ ppl who do it for you. Our location is meant as a quick "touch up & go" thing vs a deep clean option. Full services charge more & pay more. We get less tips than full service, but the option is still there some a still have to stand/work outside in the rain/cold/snow, etc plus the cleaning of the entire site, machines, lobby & restroom, fixing machines, plus the risk of death or injury from getting ran over, crushed, or developing cancer from constant chemical exposure. Oh, & for dealing with Karens who inpatiently try to just drive thru that wash instead of waiting on Neutral & causing accidents, and who also complain about prices or who get aggressive for anything & the sexual harassment from creepy men & racial attacks. Plus, opening shift starts at 6 AM but we're expected to show up by 5:55 AM (yes, I'm serious). All that for minimum wage & I still have to share any tip that I get between 2-3 other ppl, even if they're not as hardworking. Also, my city only has express locations & the nearest full service is in another city that's almost an hour away. I could write so many Reddit stories on this place, ngl. Maybe it's empathy, but I try to tip everywhere I go, even its a small amount & even if I don't understand their job. It's not my place to act judgy.
Story 6 : Everyone's wedding is for profit nowadays .. Story 7 : I stopped doing random nice things for people because as I was heading to work once I seen " homeless person " on the side of the coffee shop he asked me to buy him coffee I asked him what he wanted in his coffee he says what he wants so I buy his coffee along with mine and 2 crossaints as I was Giving him his coffee he goes " seriously no donuts or sandwiches or anything you suck"...
"Just fuck off" when OP actively was ignoring her. As for the mother in the second story, *Jesus Christ I'm afraid for the girl's safety.* This woman is. Like she was *basically* stalking a child. That's not CB behavior, that's *dangerous.* Aaand the third story... Yeah. Yeah that man is fucking scary, that's a man who wants a domestic slave. Don't let him talk to women anymore, please.
At my workplace, whenever someone uses a card, we always have to say "it'll ask you about a tip, but there's a skip option on the bottom" as most people don't notice it and some don't even hear us when we say it as they're usually too impatient to pay
Im a hairstylist, and a lot of factors go into tipping. My best tippers are people who like a fast service. I know exactly what they want, we have a quick chat and they're thanked and invited back. Some leave me %100. It all depends on whether or not you 1. Value my skill (have you ever tried and failed miserably at cutting your own hair?😅 yes, it is a skill) and 2. what part of the service is most important to you, and did I deliver that? Like, do you want to be in and out in 7 minutes? I can do that, want me to take my time and give you a complex style, I can do that too! Also, I should add that I never expect a tip. I get paid fairly for my time, and more than enough of my clients tip me to make it all average out at the end of the day. I also get an added bonus for selling products and for keeping up with the rushes by upping my productivity. So don't let the tipping culture stop you from having a relationship with your stylist. If a stylist is hungry for tips, they're either not getting paid fairly, or they're not trying to make up for it with the other incentives available.
I hate people who demands tips. I remember once there was a place that would set-up the Interac (debit) machine and automatically made you decide on a tip of either 10%, 30%, or 50% and NO customized tip …. Kept doing that too …. Pissed me off so I just declined everything and went elsewhere
Well, that second story made me lose just a little bit more faith in humanity. Just about out here people, maybe we could try just a little bit harder to not be horrible.
Second story: There is a simple solution here; PAY HER TO DRAW HIM. If she says no, then *leave it*. You cannot force someone else to do work for you. You cannot force your child to do work for you so why would you be able to force *someone else's child to do work for you*
At work (I work at kohls) I helped a lady and her elderly mother with taking a big mirror to their car. After I put the mirror in the back of the car the lady was about to give me a tip for helping her with the heavy mirror but I quickly refused as I was happy to help and I don’t understand tipping culture when it comes to retail or if there is any. It was just nice to help people and get some fresh air after running around the store picking up items for online orders.
I haven’t seen anyone say it yet but tipping culture is out of control because wages are going down. Your boss will tell you “Oh we’re only going to pay you $9 an hour but the tips you get will make up for it!” And then you only get MAYBE three dollars in tips. (Where I work tips are distributed based on how many hours you worked, not what someone gives you) So I think the reason so many employees push people to tip more is because the wages they’re getting are crap but their employers are pretty much just shrugging and saying it’s the customers fault. Five bucks for a tip is pretty nice though so she was just being a choosing beggar.
Tipping has gotten so bad. There is the fast food place, Moe's, that I love with a passion. They've recently (more like a couple of months ago) introduced tipping, and I'm like, "What the?" I always feel bad leaving $0 in tip when I order online because I understand the fast food industry. I used to work at Wendy's, but I'm not leaving a 6 for just a burrito and chips that I go and pick up while on my lunch break for work. Not to mention, they always forgolet parts of my order, and I have to constantly remind them (if I ever notice) when I'm there. If I had them deliver my food I could understand the tipping. We really need to deal with the whole tipping issue here in the US. Workers deserve money, but making the customer have to tip is ridiculous. Tipping is done in kindness, it shouldn't be required for workers like waiters/waitresses to survive.
"I was in and out, and you want a 50% tip? The nerve!" "Okay, I'll take 3x's longer next time, then you'll give me a HUGE tip, right?" "Ew. Why would I pay more for you to take longer?!"
One time I was going to Advanced Auto to buy some oil for my truck when someone approached and asked, "hey man can I get like 8 dollars for Fix-A-Flat for my car? My tire popped" so I said "I'm going into AA right now so I'll go get it for you". He than looked away from me, said nevermind, and walked away. Needless to say that was the last time I humored anyone asking for money, unless I buy the product for them. People can be trash
In the story about how you have to pay to attend the wedding and do labor, the part about not coming to the wedding in Amy "floral colors", flowers literally come in red, blue, yellow, white, black and everything in-between. So literally op can't even come to the wedding naked because a flower most likely has his skin tone.
My wife and I ordered a pick up meal from a pub style restaurant here in Tennessee and I almost died when I paid for the meal. The bar tender That was working at night. Literally walked six steps to a window picked up. Our bag turned around wall six steps back. Then when I paid, she started yelling and trying to shame me for not tipping her for 12 steps. I asked her how much of my order did she make, how much time did you spend cooking the food, and when she couldn’t answer that she got mad. I offered her $.12…one penny per step. When that made her madder she started talking trash about me to the other people there and NO ONE was on her side. I do believe in tipping AFTER AFTER AFTER AAFFTTEERR we get served.
My wife operates a unisex hair salon. Some people will not tip her because she is the owner! Regardless if she is the owner she is also a cutter and stylist. You give a tip of appreciation for the cut./service. We have no maximum or minimum for a cut. When our prices were $15 for a men’s haircut. Someone who I knew from work became a regular customer. He would regularly give my wife a $10 tip. Why? Because he was getting haircuts at a downtown shop at $25 for the haircut alone. He figured he got what he considered was the same quality haircut or better and appreciated it. Also, he didn’t have to pay for parking. We lost him as a customer due to him getting a promotion and moved away for it. Appreciation to the cutter/stylist comes in different ways. One is falling asleep in the chair. My wife didn’t understand that aspect of customer relationships as she isn’t from here. I explained it to her as it is a sign of complete trust with her. He did also tip appropriately. The shop has been going at the same location for 30 years
As a former in-home dog sitter, being able to stay in the pet owner’s home for free was just expected. I didn’t pay them rent on top of taking care of their pet. Even if OP didn’t get the standard pay rate, I don’t think it’s unfair to ask for a little compensation. Obviously it being family could mean a heavy discount but pet sitting is a lot of work.
Personally, I lived in an abusive house and chances are things would've been made worse by having uniforms because my mother likely would have been pissed at me for needing to spend more money. She barely tolerated buying clothes as it was and needing to buy a new sets of clothes roughly every year would have been just another reason for her to abuse me
The haircut story: I’m a receptionist at a salon. We mainly have kids cuts which are $20 and almost everyone tips $5. It’s a good amount and our stylists are all grateful.
as someone who works in the service industry, the sad truth is that those tips go toward the chance of making an actual living wage for the workers who ARE doing work for you- even when you order and pay yourself at a restaurant, there’s sermone cooking your food who may go home unable to afford their own.
I dealt with a Karen yesterday. My job is to take photos of damaged cars for insurance companies. My contact said to come by 7-4. I showed up 2 days in a row and was told by Karen "You need an appointment. No one told me to expect you and they're supposed to tell me everything!" I called the guy again, he said come back. I went the next day. She claimed she didn't know who I was talking about, she didn't recognize the number, no one had told her anything. His voice-mail states the name of that company. She was so rude that I got very angry and started crying. I called the guy and my company and told them I'm not doing it. They'll only have to wait an extra week or two to get it done, but that makes me feel better. Karen screwed up getting a company truck fixed, so it'll be off the road for an extra week. Screw you, Karen.
As a hairstylist myself I’ll give my two cents, like restaurants, it’s how we survive. Many salons pay the bare minimum and we earn money by tips and selling product. I understand there are people with limited income who can barely afford a haircut so I treat all equally even if you don’t tip. I never complain or look upset. It’s very unprofessional. (Of course, if I have a bad tipping day I complain but to my family at home. I’m as guilty as anyone else who works for tips. But it’s never in front of a customer!) 15-20 percent is always good! That’s the general rule. That woman was just greedy.
When I used to get actual haircuts, my stylist would only charge me 15bux and I'd give her 25, so a 10buk tip. Only charged me 10bux for a buzz, so that's a 20 right there, too. When The Plague hit and everything was shut down, I was getting a bit shaggy and already set up an appointment for that next week, so that's a no-go. Got annoyed enough to just buzz myself. Bud of mine used to do that and grexed at me for not doing it, too, as I got my hairs cut really short anyway. Since then, I buzz myself every time I feel it getting a bit long. I like it short, as it feels nice and soft like a raccoon.
50% tip I reserve for: 1. Above and beyond service. Like I would personally hire this person to cater an event for me good. 2. Someone I know well who gave me good service on a bill that is reasonable (ex. Server friend from former place of employment getting $10 for a $20 bill). 3. When the bill itself is small and what I tip would be a coffee for the server and the server provided good service ($5 for a $10 bill). Otherwise the LOWEST I will go for bad service that isn't out right hostile is 15%-20%. The only way that goes to 0% is if the service and behavior is so bad that the manager needs to get involved (ex. I get assaulted or verbally abused by the server).
Story 2: That poor boy will never tell his mother anything ever again. And she will wonder why he doesn’t talk to her in a few years’ time. It reminds me of this story about my mother. I was bullied in middle school when I was like 11 or 12. One day, the school was doing some weird thing where the parents were allowed be in the school during the school day to basically audit every class they were in. My mother, of course, was one of the few parents to do this. During that day, my bully took an opportunity to like shove me as I was walking between classes. And like, I looked back and saw my mother had seen this. And for a while after this, the bully didn’t bother me, and to my preteen mind, I thought it was because he happened to get a glance of my mother or something and didn’t want to mess with me anymore. No, I found out FIFTEEN YEARS LATER that what happened was my mother turned around and stalked the bully to his locker and she PHYSICALLY SHOVED HIM against the lockers and basically threatened his well-being! A freaking 40-some year old bullying a 12 year old! When I learned this, I was “retroactively embarrassed” for myself and seriously went to see if I could find my old bully on Facebook or something to apologize to him for having to deal with my mother. Jesus Christ... 😰
Relatively recently, Door dash/Just Eat has begun asking for tips if you order for delivery. I never do this because I know that in reality the boys and girls driving around will hardly see a penny of these tips, so I tip them when they're at the door. That way I can guarantee that these guys get what they deserve.
Tipping culture here in Ontario, Canada really pisses me off. Adult Minimum Wage is $15.50/hr.; there is no separate, lowball-wage for servers earning tips like in the USA. And yes, having employers pay their employees a livable wage here means prices are higher, but that's still the way it SHOULD be. Where the problems start, is that most servers continue to perpetuate the misinformation that they "only survive because of tips", (including raising the expected tip from 10-15% to 20-25%!) So dinner for two now costs $80 instead of $50, plus you're expected to tip $16-20 minimum. Hell, there are even places that add the gratuity on last (after the 13% sales tax), so $80.00 turns into $90.40, which then becomes $108.48 - $113.00 (So ONE single "standard" tip from ONE single table is $18.08 - $22.60 for someone already making $15.50/hr). Rather than be "cheap", we've gone from eating out once a month to only two to three times per year total.
I didn't even know you were "supposed" to tip hair dresser and nail techs until I was grown. I just figured that when they told me the cost it factor in their work. Every time I got my nails done it was a different price so how is time and skill not factored in.
At the drive thru window of the rib joint in our town, they hand you the hand held card reader so you can enter which amount of tip you wish to leave... the person handing you food is also handing the reader to however many people per shift, then going on to the next order, while they wear gloves...maybe...the customers of course aren't gloved. IDK, it just rubs me the wrong way on many levels.
She is in middle school and she still hasn't learned that being exculsionary and mean is wrong? Man, if this was elementary school, she'd be suspended lmao
Tip screen story: those POS machines should be set to show three or four percentages and a custom option, at my job it automatically populates 15%, 20%, and 30%.
if that screenshot was only numbers OP blocked then it wasn't generated numbers as 2 had pictures. She probably told her friends her stupid lie about him being masogonistic and got them all to spam call him. Also tipping is insane. I hate that subway offers it for like a 1 minute interaction. And I've even had the person making my sandwich at the drive through FORCE a 1.50 tip on a 9 dollar order and I didn't realize until I got home. No question if I wanted to. Just did it without my knowledge and I was extremely nice! Always saying thank you after getting handed something and I'm never in a rush in a drive through. Which is why I think she did it since it was unlikely I'd notice right away.
Not sure you'll read this but I know RU-vidrs use likes to track this kind of thing, so I thought it would be prudent to let you know. I'm personally not a fan of this subreddit. I know of it. But i'm not a fan, nor do I prefer r/entitledpeople. Now before I get a billion trolls replying "nobody asked!!" I just wanted to say something because I still "liked" the video. I use the "like" button to support RU-vidrs I care about. I want to show my support and help Dabney (sp) pay his bills, so I still listen and like anyway. EP and CB usually just really stress me out so although I listen to many people, I can't always get through an entire CB or EP video. And when I'm in some mental states, I can't listen at all.
Funny thing...even tho it's more sad than funny, in Romania the guests invited to a wedding are expected to pay, it's considered the "wedding gift" but you're supposed to at least pay the price for your own menu and a bit more. I always found it incredibly stupid that you have to pay your food to attend a wedding lmao. So most couples choose to invite tons of people just to make money..
For the dog sitting one I’d say “you have 2 options, 1 you stay in the flat for free and take care of the dogs, or 2 you get paid for taking care of the dogs but have to pay rent and utilities” as that’s fair imo
