The last few days being new in town for my holiday I have stupidity tipped,worked out last few days around 5k.
For what? No thanks,some just look at the tip and walk off ,couldn't even acknowledge it,so Fk it no more !
Tipped the taxi to Pattaya a few hundred baht he took it ignored me and kept talking on his phone waste of 200b never see him again.
Tipped the waitress 20b she looked at me in disgust, oh I'm sorry should I tip you more I should of asked for bringing a plate out ?
Picked up my laundry,a ladyboy serving me 190b gave her 200 b keep the change, started screeching !!
A massage woman half way through the massage ,how much you tip me she says ?
For Fcks sake I said you ain't even finished the massage
Starts telling me she has rent to pay ,100 kids 7 dogs etc etc, I ignored her
Gave her 100 baht tip she wasn't happy no thanks
So you know what yesterday I went to different places, cafes , used taxis, bars, and didn't tip once ,not once AND they thanked me ,I actually got a wai as I sat there and waited for my change !
Now I have a mate here in Pattaya who tips everyone because, Yeo,he feels compelled, tipped the girls at Subway last Monday when I went with him and you know what they didn't even give a rat's ass about him,no thanks nothing
Wasted 50 b he could of spent that on some thing else !
You know the ones who don't tip get better respect,the Russians the Indians etc
Today I will do the same no tip
Of course if your going back to the same place everyday I guess better to tip say 10b or 20 b but no need to go overboard just because you feel compelled.
People tip because they feel guilty
Yesterday I got a Grab from Pattaya to jomtien 105b , the driver telling me how he came a long way to pick me up etc,he didn't actually I only waited 3 minutes, when I got to jomtien gave him 120; tried to make me feel guilty ,that's why deep down you guys feel guilty and compelled we must tip,
Several reasons for tipping
1.
You are with mates are a bar ,you feel compelled to tip in front of them.
2. You feel guilty U must leave something even they ignored you on arrival whether that be a bar or cafe or whatever but you feel compelled to do it
3. They ask you beforehand or half way through a service eg massage or waitress ,how much U tip me ? So U feel compelled you must tell them you will tip them even if they <deleted> on you
4. They make you feel guilty eg they have had a slow day ,no money etc
Why should you have to tip the owner of a laundry when you pick up your clothes ,no tip? The transexual asks, no tip? No tip for me ?
<deleted> you already overpriced my laundry now you want a tip?
Keep the change I said 10b,then she started screeching like a ......?
Oh I'm sorry I should of said, here's 100 baht us that sufficient for you even though you look more wealthy than me,would you like me to kiss your ass too ?
