Ten Signs You're Actually a Cheapskate . . . if the shoe fits as they say. Listen . . . you can hear the rising crescendo of the wailing and the ululating of the non-tippers.  Mike | ||

...and all the people interviewed are in their mid-twenties, don't have a pot to piss in, incredible credit card debt, and probably moved back in with their parents at least once. I don't trust anyone's opinion if they are under the age of 40. They don't have enough life-experience to amount to squat. | |||

I have always tipped over the norm,but then again I have always been a worker + know what it means to make a living.Unforunalety here in in Austin we have the reputation of the worst tipping town.Now I could understand a little bit of that several years ago when we were just a college town but now with the high end industry there is no excuse.These people have to eat too.My father in law actually goes out + thanks the trash man when he shows up. His opinion is that they are doing us a great job + service + without them where would we be.Even takes them out cookies on occasion (kinda pushes it for me).But he does have a good point.We ALL (workers) provide a service. Never mistake motion for action. | |||

if your country had a minimum , livable wage rate then you wouldnt have people earning $2.00/hour and having to rely on tips..... Just throwing it out there ________________________ Old enough to know better | |||

If our country had a minimum livable wage rate then we'd be a socialist country; we're not! Nobody in the U.S. twists your arm to work someplace. If you're not happy where you work then go someplace else. | |||

Yeah, that's part of the reason and part of the reason is the government gives enough benefits to people who would rather sit on their ass than work for minimun wages because it makes more economic sense to do so even tho they are perfectly capable of doing some type of labor. I'd be all for a huge minimum wage IF there were no welfare benefits except for those who obviously cannot fend for themselves. OTOH, someone has to pay for all those minimum wages you have in NZ. That is the NZ citizens. All that is fine as long as things are normal, but when the shit hits the fan, as it always does at some point, then we'll see who is going to pay all those minimum wages when the payers (employers) can't afford them. xxxxxxxxxx When considering US based operations of guides/outfitters, check and see if they are NRA members. If not, why support someone who doesn't support us? Consider spending your money elsewhere. NEVER, EVER book a hunt with BLAIR WORLDWIDE HUNTING or JEFF BLAIR. I have come to understand that in hunting, the goal is not the goal but the process. | |||

"...minimum livable wage..." there's no such thing. I've worked with folks for 40 years that were always "one more pay raise" away from a livable wage. No matter what they were making. Aim for the exit hole | |||

Gato,I agree wholeheartedly. I also remember in 1980 when I was working in another mans shop,Reagen had'nt been in office for 3 weeks + we started seeing all these big strapping black bucks come looking for their 1st job.Because baby,welfare had been cut off.Gave me a warm feeling. Never mistake motion for action. | |||

Sorry Gents , but coming from a non-tipping culture and a society that has regulated minimum wage rates , I have difficulty with your system of personal economic survival. Not to say I am wrong , or you are wrong , just that I prefer my system , with its welfare benefits and abusers of the system as well. Certainly at some point our system may become unsustainable , as we baby-boomers retire and there is a reduced number of tax payers to support us in our dotage, but currently it works for us. And its too far for the mexicans to swim to get here - the downside of which is there are no half decent mexican restaurants in the country. ________________________ Old enough to know better | |||

That's great......notice we didn't jump on the thread and criticize your system????? Why would you do so to ours? . | |||

Cos it was in the context of the discussion. I thought it was an observation , as opposed to a criticism, but perhaps I was wrong there. Differant countries , differant systems , differant points of view. ________________________ Old enough to know better | |||

We met some friends at a premium restaurant in Manhattan for some Italian dinner. I sez, I'm buying, you (to my friend) leave THE tip. Well what a stupid mistake. My friends' net worth is easily 25 times mine and his son downed 3 bottles of Italian water and asked if it was OK to order a bottle of wine. Not wanting to appear CHEAP, I said sure. Well I paid the $200 bill and we walked out. Within a minute, here comes the head waiter down the street and asked my friend if he made an error when he left the $10 tip. YES. 10 bucks on $200. Talk about cheap. Life itself is a gift. Live it up if you can. | |||

10 bucks is 3 times their wages for the hour. if they hustled a little and handled 4-5 tables in that amount of time [1 hour] they would be making what a lawyer makes per hour. plus their per hour wage. I don't care what country you live in 53$ per hour is a livable wage. | |||

Their service at the table was flawless and worth a top tip. All 5 dishes were served hot at the same time and all 3 waiters were watching us closely and we never had to ask for anything. They offered before we had to ask. $10 was an insult for a $200 net bill. Life itself is a gift. Live it up if you can. | |||

That's why I almost NEVER split tab/tips with anyone. I'd rather tip myself and know that it was a decent tip. Cheapskates (I'm referring to people who can afford to be generous) really piss me off, especially when their actions reflect on me. xxxxxxxxxx When considering US based operations of guides/outfitters, check and see if they are NRA members.

Exactly. These millennials haven't earned the right to an opinion yet, much less to protest anything. Bad tipper = serious personality flaw. Embarrassing to say the least. | |||

74% of legal immigrants in the US receive some form of welfare payments (dole). 87% of illegal immigrants in the US receive some form of welfare payments (dole). They don't need to make a minimum wage as the dole here is higher than what they make working in their own country.

I would view any of jason richwine stuff as suspect given that heritage cut ties with him http://www.economist.com/blogs...immigration-and-iq-0 Also Cato and other established conservative think tanks have called out the CIs report. https://www.cato.org/blog/cis-...mmigrant-welfare-use If one wants to read good academic (peer reviewed, data sets available, replicable) stuff on the negative cost of immigration read https://www.hks.harvard.edu/fs/gborjas/ Mike | |||
