To Tip or Not to Tip

Even in America, where tipping culture flourishes, tipping is never a pleasant thing.

The guidelines for tipping have never been published, but they follow like an "invisible hand." In the country where tipping is popular, it seems that everyone succumbs to its "promiscuous power", but from time to time there are people who disagree, such as Mr. Pink in the film.

I don't tip.
You don't tip?
I don't believe in it.
You don't believe in tipping?
Do you know what these chicks make? They make shit.
If they don't make enough money, they can quit.
You don't ever tip?
I don't tip because society says I have to. If they really put forth the effort, I'll give them something extra. But this tipping automatically, it's for the birds. As far as I'm concerned, they are just doing their job.
This girl was nice.
She was okay. She wasn't anything special. These ladies aren't starving to death. They make minimum wage. I used to work minimum wage, and when I did, I wasn't lucky enough to have a job that society deemed tip-worthy.
You don't care they're counting on your tips to live? You don't have any idea what you are talking about. These people bust their ass. This is a hard job.
So's working at McDonald's. But you don't feel the need to tip them. They are serving you food, but society says "Don't tip these guys over here, but tip these guys." That's bullshit.
Waitressing is the No.1 occupation for female non- college graduates in this country. It's the one job basically any woman can get and make a living on. The reason is because of their tips.

Tipping is cultural and popular in most Western countries. Just like in these countries, the price of goods does not include tax, and the prices of services such as restaurants, rentals, hotels, etc. do not include tips (service appreciation fees). If you want to say thank you, it is reasonable to tip an appropriate tip. Since you live in these countries, just follow the local customs~ (End)

    A very simple story, it becomes very interesting after being so mixed up by the ruffian Kun. Although there is not as much plasma as later, and the overall is not as profound as later, as a maiden feature film, this film can already see Quentin’s strong personal imprint.

Reservoir Dogs quotes

  • Holdaway: Just think about it like it's a joke, alright? You memorize what's important and the rest you make your own, alright? You can tell a joke, can't you?

    Mr. Orange: No.

    Holdaway: Pretend you're Don Rickles or some fuckin' body and tell a joke, alright?

  • Holdaway: The things you gotta remember are the details. It's the details that sell your story. Now, this particular story takes place in a men's room. So, you gotta know all the details about the men's room. You gotta know if they got paper towels or a blower to dry your hands. You gotta know if the stalls ain't got no doors or not. You gotta know if they got liquid soap or that pink, granulated powder shit they used in high school. Remember? You gotta know if they got hot water or not, if it stinks, if some nasty, lowlife, scum-ridden motherfucker, man, sprayed diarrhea all over one of the bowls. You gotta know *every* detail there is to know about this commode. What you gotta do is take all them details, man, and make 'em your own. While you're doing that, you gotta remember that this story is about you and how you perceived the events that went down.
