You must be out of your fucking mind if you think you're getting a tip for drip coffee

Yeah, people amuse me. I read "How to Influence People" when I was younger and still put that to practice constantly. It's kinda the same satisfaction you'd get out of training a dog - to know that you can manipulate people into really liking you. That probably sounds horrible, but it's fascinating to me.
I tried to apply something I heard in the audiobook read in that book and then I bombed immediately and vowed never to talk to anybody ever again.

I tip everyone, but I have been for years. I usually start out right away with a $5 handshake like a real greaseball ginzo and let them know I'm not done. It shouldn't be surprising, but if you toss a little cash around and make it a point to address people by the name on their shirt, most of them treat you like a prince. The appliance guys who delivered my washer and dryer got this treatment right of the bat and ended up tossing me a couple of hoses the faggot sales guy didn't tell my wife she needed and hooked everything up for me even though I didn't pay for it (but I guess I kinda did with the tip).
When I go to a show, the first drink I get I pay cash and tip 20% rounded up so they remember me. After that I pay card and tip like 10% (nigga you're opening a can of beer) and the last couple drinks I don't tip

tipping someone for doing their bloody job is just absurd to me. my boss doesn't slide a fiver in my shirt pocket just for showing up 10 minutes early
I don't mind slipping the proprietor of some mom and pop place some extra bucks if I'm a regular and they're good people. Keep the change sorta deal. That's just common courtesy and neighborliness, and it'll probably pay off in one way or another.

Servers get a regular wage in my neck of the woods though so they can fuck off. Their income is a matter between them and their employer, not mime. If they don't like the arrangement then there's plenty of other dead end jobs out there. A corporate, formalized tipping culture is the height of Hebraism and completely antithetical to what a tip is supposed to be in my book.
