Millennials tip the least, but it may not be for the reasons you think

I’m gonna ask wardaddy to send me some talent. He has an educated eye for such endeavors.

I dunno about millennial, but this senior will not be tipping any server in any establishment that pays their workers $15/hr, with the exception of the sushi chef, where it returns its value. And since the cost of branded fast-food burgers in SoCal now exceeds the cost of a burger plate from say, Chili's, we have adapted by takeout ordering the higher-quality restaurant burger and plentiful fries and crisp lettuce and tomato over a branded fast-food burger.

When did 15% become a “bad” tip? That used to be standard, and 20% was extra for outstanding service.

Of course they didn’t separate by race to see who the real worst tippers are. But anyone in a service industry knows.

[FlyFisher]

I’ve paid extra for that.

What's the difference between a canoe and a Canadian?


A canoe will tip...

I’m on a biz trip in lalaland (not vanderpump rules Lala but same neighborhood)

Actually I’m in Vastly Overpriced Toluca Lakes

I had a meeting in Pasadena yesterday....man what a bucolic place...
Had no idea

You guys are missing the whole point.

Boobs Are Dessert

I like Toluca Lake on the Burbank side because better services than LA. It’s one of my potential locations. And Pasadena is gorgeous but so pricy! Welcome to wardaddy! I’m not too far away. Have a good day!

Well done.

We ordered some good weather just for your visit. Although it's surely hotter in Vastly Overpriced Toluca Lake than here behind the Orange Curtain.

..man what a bucolic place... Had no idea

There's some great neighborhoods in LA. I just don't get invited to them. I hear Brentwood rocks. Yaelle probably knows.

[Yaelle]

I lived in Brentwood for 3 years, nice and safe, but never again. Too lefty. I’m in lefty land here too. Toluca Lake probably has pockets of normalcy.

Boobs for dessert, boys, yuck, not into it. ;)

“Boobs for dessert, boys, yuck, not into it. ;)”

Good. Now we know what team you’re on.

[9YearLurker]

Let me guess—It’s the Boomers’ fault?

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

The man probably insisted on leaving a tip, heh-heh.

[Yaelle]

I’m not Lebanese, as Bill Handel would say.

I sometimes go to Peet’s Coffee to buy a cup. They serve a variety of different blends, but sometimes one blend I want is not made up. The person at the counter will fix a pot of it if I want a cup, so I will put a tip in the jar for doing that, but not just for serving a cup of coffee.

[9YearLurker]

Before that, 10% was standard and 15% was for excellent service...

[wardaddy]

Thanks dear having a blast but headed up the coast today in my rental

Gonna drive over Mulholland to Malibu from Hollywood then up the 101 from Ventura to Carmel etc the back east not sure route yet

Have to be home by next Tuesday nite or Wednesday latest

I like excuses to come here ...my friends really show a great time

Spent yesterday aft downtown looking at warehouses..man the gentrification wow

The old architecture downtown is worth saving

Went to two rooftop joints.....the Standard and NoMad.....great views

Drop dead women

My biz partner is so jaded though....

“In this town it’s ALWAYS what can you do for them”

I’m like dude where’s your romance......he’s like you’re southern and spoiled with girls

I can’t believe it’s that bad here

We sat outside a club on sunset last night so my son could go mingle in the lot with twenty somethings

Man the girls they turn away at the rope....and on a Wednesday nite

We beat this place up on free Republic but I like visiting

[wardaddy]

The weather

Perfect

Like Medellin

In Dixie it’s 95 and so humid
