Ringing up your groceries is sure as fuck a service. I'm doing finance work, it's a a service as well.

How about the bag boy?
How about the people that do your dry cleaning?
Clean your house?
Mow your lawn?

Come on fucker I can go on and on and on, you're still the moronic fools looking retarded because you feel obligated to tip everything that walks and has arms

where you are you should tip the bag boy. some areas do it.
Dray cleaning? pfft. i pay them to clean its not a real service.
maids? yeah you should tip your maid
mow the lawn? depends. does he do extra?

but again FULL SERVICE! pay the TIP the poor guy is busting his ass for you! They live off tips! they get paid shitty wages for you for the tip!

IF YOU CAN'T AFFORD 15-25% STAY HOME!

404 - scam not found.

also, didn't he owe you $1.90 and not just 90 cents?

if you are that tight about not even $2 you should probably fill your own gas tank. unless you are in that whack ass state of nj.

He gave me $1.90. It baffles me that they don't keep change on them. Only dollar bills? And making me wait 5 minutes to count 90 cents, while I am on my way to work pissed me off.

It's a great scam. "I don't have loose change, so let's round up your total and I keep the extra!"

You would tip 20% on the dude filling your gas? Fuck them, they should get real jobs then.

And pump your own gas dirtbag if you are not going to tip someone to do it!

It's a full service ONLY station, and, until this morning, was the cheapest station around and didn't charge more for CC users.

Now it's charging as much as everyone else. No real reason for me to go there anymore, and I much prefer pumping my own gas.

Like waiters and waitress they are doing a service and deserve tip.

Unlike waiters, they don't get an exception that pays less than minimum wage jackass. I named 4 other services that you likely don't tip for, you're just another victim of what society deems as OMG YOU DIDN'T TIP?!?!

And for all the trash-talking in this thread - he left my gas cap open. That can lead to a CEL. That's enough reason to kick his ass.

Would you say the same to a waitress or waiter, they just take your order and bring your food.

Frankly for the quality of food at most restaurants these days, I'd just as soon get it myself and save a couple bucks.
Most family chains like Applebees and Ruby Tuesday and such fall into this category.

what a baby

I'm already trying to avoid paying a certain amount extra by using cash. Tipping him would have added more than 10 cents per gallon.

I'm sorry, but I am not paying a single cent more for gas than I had to. If he is pocketing 90 cents per customer because they are too lazy or impatient to wait for change, he is making a good profit.

Why not carry change in your pocket? Let's see how you guys feel when FORCED to leave a tip.

Many states require waiters to be paid at least minimum wage before tips idiot, waiters still are tipped in these states, in fact most western states are this way.

Poor you, woes you.

So you are saying doing something damaging to a customers car isn't wrong? Why doesn't he carry loose change? Why make me wait.

Why even make it obvious that you wanted me to leave the tip? I am not the dick here.

you should be complaining to the gas station manager instead of complaining on a tech forum.

I'm with you AMD he was a scammer. Fuck that noise especially in the morning. You should have thrown the change across the parking lot and told him to scamper off and collect his reward.

okay so we have a motorbike, a circumcision and a tip thread in 3 different forum sections. Credit cards is the last pot that needs to be stirred up, texashiker I choose you!
Anyway I'm against tipping but I'm culturally biased. Here it's not expected and the standard prices/service charges etc. reflect this. If the prices are really that low for rich people I'd probably tip too, IF the service is good, I have no pity for slackers.

Forget about the tip, you're paying $0.25 a gallon more to use a credit card?

Though not gas station related, the pizza delivery guys in my neighborhood in Brooklyn call you up and try to get you to come downstairs out of your apartment or house to meet them at their car. The point of delivery is to not leave my house. In exchange, I pay a $2 charge and tip generously.

I've since stopped ordering pizza, but I never tipped when they pulled that shiz.

You should have asked him to tip you the ten cents, and then asked for $2 back. Tell him "just round down, the manager will never notice". lmao
