[QUOTE="donna723, post: 38108, member: 1883"] Wow, do I ever feel cheap! I don't go out to eat that often, but when I do, I'm usually pretty generous, as long as the service was decent. [img]:grin:[/img] In a restaurant, when you leave a tip, how do you know who really ends up with the $$$? And our grocery store doesn't allow the bag boys to accept tips, so I get to slide out of that one! I don't mean to be cheap, I just don't have much money! I have no idea who my garbage man is because they come after I leave for work. And I'm waging my own private little battle with the city over another matter, so I doubt if much "tipping" of city workers is going to happen in my house. Believe me, those folks don't exactly [i]overextend[/i] themselves!
