I know we gave discussed tipping in restaurants before, but it seems like these days things are being dreamed up for tips.
Some friends and I went to a honky tonk type place last night to hear a local band who had travelled to the bigger city. At one point,I had to use the restroom. As I approached the sink before exiting, a guy is ready with a soap pump, and then rips off a paper towel and hands it to me.
I thought it odd, but I said thank you and moved on. I later learned this Guy was supposed to be tipped. :shock:
My shock and first time exposure to this may show how ignorant of that type of culture I am, but I think that is ridiculous. Unlike a restaurant, I didn't ask for his assistance, and he didn't do anything I couldn't have done. It was no help to me whatsoever.
What else will somebody dream up for a tips?
