Great tip!

Back when I was working Housekeeper for a major hotel chain, the Aussies that had been staying a week in one of my assigned rooms left me ALL of their USD change when they returned home.

All I did was suggest a place for a road trip for them.

For some reason, getting a good tip makes me feel sexy. Maybe it's the stripper in me.

I was working in a bar in France back in 98 and this American woman kept on giving me really good tips all the time, she eventually confided in my manager that it was because she:

a nice but dim tourist wrote:felt sorry for me having to work so hard after my chemotherapy

Which would have been fine but for the fact that I wasn’t undergoing chemotherapy but was a shaven headed guy who did lots of cycling and was consequently pretty thin (I’m 182cm (6 foot) tall and at the time weighed about 62kg (137 ib)) I was in the best shape of my life and she thought I was dying, I must say it took my self esteem a little while to recover.

Dammit...the best tip I ever got was when I carried someone's bags a long distance and got, in return, "Plant corn early."

Awesome tip, Tranan.

One time, way back in 1999 or so, I used to be a substitute RSR (Resident Security Representative). That meant I'd sit in booths and let people into residence halls. One time some dude tipped me $5 to make sure that nothing happened to his illegaly-parked car. Pretty sure that was against the rules

Don't eat lead.

Don't know.. it was a mixed group. I just gave them directions to some of the best scenery I knew, in a trip that would loop them back to Charleston by day's end. *shrug*

I think it was about $20-$30 in change..

I don't get tips, because I don't have a job, but I do tip well. Usually 30-50% depending on where and how much the meals are. If the service is poor, then I don't tip as well.

Post by **Zaia** » 2004-06-12 02:44am

Uh, I made $8 in tips tonight while just sitting at a table at a bar. My friend Eric started it by shoving a dollar in my bra, and then others followed suit (someone even stuck a $20-bill in there at one point, but then took it out again to get more alcohol).

Anyway, ended up making $8 by just having approachable-looking boobies.

So your boobies (on top of being boobies) have made you money, produced a fun-for-all game and spawned a catchphrase.

Just what can't they do?

I'm not allowed to get tips [sigh], so the best tip I've gotten was five dollars. A few times I've gotten one dollar, and a few times people have bought me candy. So suck on that, bitches. Can you beat getting candy? (don't answer that)

Did you have to drive back by yourself? And why didn't this guy rent a car? Do you work for the mob?

$20 while working at the movie theatre.

I know someone who works at the American embassy in China and was once "tipped" 50 USD in order to grease the rusty wheels of visa issuance. Needless to say, he was not impressed.
