Is it OK to tip your waitress with a Bible Tract instead of  money?

I have left the following tips:\n\nDon't eat no yellow snow.\n\nDon't spit in the wind.\n\nDon't tug on Supermans cape.\n\nOne waitress was so thankful she said that I could kiss her A**, that was very thoughtful of her but I didn't have time for her to bring the animal around so I could do so.\n\nI think that was in Podunk, Iowa.

Church tithing is a scam. In Deut. 14:22-26 you will see that the tithe is food not money. Your preacher will say that they didn't have money back then, but read it closely, vs 25 says if its too far to travel sell your tithe for money and when you get to Gods place buy whatever food and drink you want. Deut. 12:11-27 tells you that you can tithe at home and vs 17-18 tells that the tither always eats the tithe. The word tithe is used 40 times in the OT and only 8 in the NT but it is preached constantly. 2 Cor 16:1-3 collections were for the poor and to be on Sunday so that no money would be collected when Paul preached. Hmmm I gues that means he didnt preach on Sunday like the Pagan Romans did.Jacob was the first to tithe 10% of all that he has. Ask yourself what church did he give it to? In case anyone can't figure this out there were no churches.Tithing was a requirment of the law, why do churches only keep the parts of the law that will benefit them? If you keep the law then you must keep all the law. With that being the case why isn't your preacher slaughtering animals for sacrifce and checking their innards by hand for tumors? Before I give a tithe the preacher better have a goat tied to the alter and slit its throat. Always remember "You cannot serve God and Mammon".If your preacher tells people to tithe, which almost all do,then he is serving mammon(money).He is not a man of God and does not know Christ as Saviour for no man of God would ever ask for money for himself. Run from this church and never return. Find a non-tithing church.good luck with that one. We are to live by faith, where is the preachers faith, he is a swindler and has no faith and is stealing yours from you. A church is not a business, tell your preacher to get a real job and steal from people like all respectable CEO's do in the stock market.To anyone reading this, if you want a outline of everthing to do with tithing and its proper form compared to the church lies e-mail me at my below address and tell me that you want a copy of "The Power of Mammon" include your mailing address and I will mail it to you free of charge. I don't have to ask for money because I have faith in God to provide for me.

Waiters are usually paid less than minimum wage per hour, so income from tips is essential.  Other service professionals may make more money per hour, but probably less than what their skills are really worth.  Tipping these people helps to keep them enthused about their jobs.\n\nNurses don't make nearly as much money as doctors, but most of them earn a decent living wage with benefits.  Tipping a professional for performing his or her job well is generally not a necessary gesture. You might want to send a thank-you card or provide a service-in-kind, but accepting a tip from a patient would be seen as rude and unprofessional.

I ignore tip jars at take-out counters.  These people get paid a higher base wage than table service and they do less for me.  I find it ridiculous for them to expect tips.  (A friend of mine was treated so rudely at a take-out counter he reached into the tip jar and took a couple bucks out!)\n\nHowever, I do tip when I receive table service.  The people who serve me there make less than half of minimum wage, and my tip is based on their performance.  I start at 15%, 20% for fine dining, and go up and down from there.  If the service is totally crappy I get a manager and let it be known how bad a time I had.  Often this will result in my not paying for my meal at all, and many restaurants make the server pay in these cases.

If you are paying as you go, then yes you tip each time.  If you are building a tab, then you tip at the time your ticket is presented to you (just as you would if you had ordered a meal).  Most of the people who work in the food and drink industry don't make much money, and most have to share their tips.

Sometimes you don't want to tip because the server gave you almost no service.Heres your seat ,what do you want to order,here it is and then put the check down.......What happend to may I get you something else..would you like your food  boxed. you know the service part...Then you see a post like this one.must be from the one who did not give you the service as it seems alittle short..IE.( get a job as a server making $2.13 per hour for 1 week and ask this question again.) ...........Tipping is by the service given..If you took that job "wait person" . So smile and give service like you would want given you.Then you'll get a TIP

I think it should be banned because no matter to whom you give it, after a while it becomes a force of routine and some sort of a bribe.\nI sometimes feel blackmailed into tipping people, especially when it's money given to someone who does a job which I can't do (like carrying heavy stuff etc) and if that person has the power to delay or speed up the work he/she is doing, although they're already being paid their regular wages from their employment place.\nPeople should do their jobs the best way they can whether or not they expect extra money in a form of a tip. Employers should be the ones rewarding good and exceptional employees. If you find a good employee somewhere you should mention to his/her boss that you received excellent service fro them and leave it up to the boss to decide how to reward them suitably.

the norm is 15%, but i've known lots of servers and i usually go 20% and if they are AWESOME, i go higher.  like i have a lady who always serves me at this cafe i go to on tuesdays and i always tip her $5, even though i spend $10 on my lunch.  my reason is that she knows exactly what i want and she doesn't waste my lunch hour potting around.  she gets my order so i can sit and enjoy it without worrying whether i'll get back in time or not.\n\neasy way to caluclate a tip is take the total and round it to the nearest $ amt.  so, 26.57 is $30.  then take 10%, which is $3.00 and add half of the $3.00 (which is your 5%) so your tip would be $4.50.  that's 15%.  if you were giving 20% jsut double the $3.00 and you'll tip $6.00.\n\nhope this helps!

Ignore them Sweety; if you wanna make money! You can tell 1 or 2, at most, that you can't there are others who need you also! You can also say, "these guys are bigger tippers!" You have to decide what's more important being waitress #1 or dollars! Good luck Sweety! I'm probably gonna regret saying this <shrug>\n\nhttp://www.willyblues.com/

Well, I can tell you that growing up we had a couple come clean our house every week. They were NEVER tipped (this was only during the 90s, not that long ago!). When I call a service to clean the house now, I still do not tip. Tipping is something that is reserved for excellent service in a service industry where the worker is not being paid even minimum wage. \n\nAs far as I'm concerned, the whole "tipping" thing has gotten way out of control. Starbucks workers, Subway workers, bowling alley workers, etc all have out their "gimme" cups asking for more money. Well guess what? If you all want more money, talk to your employer about that. It is not my responsibility to provide you with a living wage. \n\nSo in answer to your question, I do not think housecleaners should be tipped at any time OTHER than a Christmas/holiday tip (which I always give to the pool guy, mailman, garbage men, and the housecleaner if she comes during the season).

You most definitely tip a prostitute.  Your doing them a favor isn't good enough.  They can get that whereever they please.  They're in the business for the money.  They're with you for the money, not the favor.  And a tip of 10% isn't good enough.  That's only $10 on $100.  If you want a prostitute to be REALLY HAPPY to see you next time, tip extremely well.

Yes.  God should worship us and give us money!!!  Heck, he's God.  Why does he need money.  If I could make water into wine I wouldn't be beggin from people with a basket on Sunday.  I'd be home drinking :)

I can't speak for the UK, but in the states anywhere from pocket change to $5, depending on where you are. If they're particularly good, tip about $10.

Tipping is typically related to service, picking up food from a restaurant hardly qualifies as such.\n\nThere is no hard-set rule to tip for carry-out, but it's not customary.\n\nThat said, it's also your preference, if you feel you should or you visit the place often you might want to consider it. I still tip my favorite buritto place as it's a token of appreciation and I know how little they make.. I do tip less than if I ate there.

Why don't we all put our money where our mouth is?? \n\nHow easy is it to say, "god, please bless those less fortunate than I, so I don't have to part with my fortune."???\n\nGod does not give blessings so that you can ask him to give blessings to your neighbor.  He gives blessings so that you can give to your neighbor knowing that he will come through for you even if you don't have a bundle of money and stuff stored away.

If someone is serving you, you should take the bill add it and move the decimle point over\nso it should go something like\n\nBill: $12.00\n\n12+12+24.00\n\nmove the decimle point over once to the left and boom.  Tip: $2.40.  of course...its always nice to leave no less than a 4 dollar tip...but thats the actual way i was taught
