Tip jars... in some odd places... would you tip for this?

[Khardis]

dude, some poor people got more than me. they get breaks just cuz they're "poor". in town they can get an apartment for $50 a month, the same apartment runs me $500 Don't I know it. I was out on my luck a few years back and had 0 money because of crippling debt. I mean I really did myself in with college loans, I was like 20 or 30K in the hole and my job was crap, but i couldn't leave it because it was a stepping stone at the time. I applied for medical assistance to have my wisdom teeth pulled as they were in great pain (3 impacted). Well I was declined because they said I had too much access. Heh. I ended up just saving up a couple grand to pay myself. I think I went through a case of aspirin that few months.

That's exactly what i mean. These same poor are also always complaining about their situation instead of getting off their asses and bettering themselves. They don't appreciate how good they really have it compared to the rest of the worlds poor, hell middle class for that matter. You go to the averege person who recieve's public assistance home and they live better than most other countries middle class. You see people on welfare with cell phones computers, expensive sneakers. No wonder illegals want to sneak in here and reap the benefits. my god you speak the truth. i worked in retail for years and you'd see all these damn people shopping with food stamps and leaving in an SUV with $6,000 a piece rims and they have the nerve to complain about the price of something. give me like $3,000 a month in freee food and i'd complain not once. they dont work either, they make it a career and its like passed down to the next generation. or they get mad when they cant buy soda cuz its a sugar tax here

I dont understand how people can be poor and remain poor in this country. Let alone homeless unless they are crazy or paralyzed or whatever. I mean if you cant make it here, WHERE THE HELL ELSE CAN YOU MAKE IT? I spent a few years scraping by, but it was temporary as i was paying off debts and positioning myself into better jobs and career switches. Now things are going better. If I can come from a ghetto with NOTHING and catch ZERO breaks for school etc then why cant these other bastards?

It's gotten to the point where you can't even be in the middle class in this country antmore. You either have to be rich enough to cover medical expenses, etc. yourself, or be poor enough so that the gov't takes care of all that stuff for you. The middle class really gets shafted and that's why it's disapearing.

The economy is great for the richest americans. For those of us that don't follow nasdaq it sucks. We live in the real world and i agree it's hard to get a decent job. You have to know somebody nowdays just to get a job a the mall for pete's sake.

Just keep hitting the apps. Youll get something sooner or later it took me some time to. Also consider opening up your own business. Find something your good at and start capitalizing on it big time.

[Danny]

well in my case im good at making stupid jokes adn not much else, so im screwed.

[acealive1]

yea i've done a lil "computer related business" recently Don't you just love how the bush administration swaers that the economy is just dandy? The economy is great for the richest americans. For those of us that don't follow nasdaq it sucks. We live in the real world and i agree it's hard to get a decent job. You have to know somebody nowdays just to get a job a the mall for pete's sake. its great for the rich people and the dumb poor ones who swear everything is cool. driving a buick 88 with a bush sticker is sheer irony to me when i see it

i think some things over in the u.s just go over-****ing-board, like as well as a waiter some u.s resurants do this "comfort technitian" or some **** were they arrive, say they refil you rink or something ,tell you that means you should leave a tip then piss off adn you dont see them again. freind of mine who was on holiday in new engladn left a note saying "get a real ****ing job, theresa tip". granted its probably been done dozens of times before but its still funny as fook. Uh, how is treating somelike like a slave funny? Word to the wise. AS a waiter certain people have a reputation as being crap tipper, namely Europenas. They demand a lot and then tip nothing. I used to get like 2,3 bucks an hour and after a while I just ignored them becasue they NEVER tip. Its a custon here and if you dont like it DONT VISIT THE US. Youre friend is a MEGA asshole. Its true when you over tip it can bite you in the ass. After a point the service starts to slack NO WAY. Pay me more I give you more. hats the way it works. And I dont call it overtipping, its big tipping. Its the code of the waiter/Bartender. ohh ok.it must be just in ohio then. they have to be on payroll here but at crappy pay per hour Naw dude, thats what he was saying. You get a miserable hourly and your actual pay is the tips. If noone tips you make 15 bucks for a whole day. You see people on welfare with cell phones computers, expensive sneakers. No wonder illegals want to sneak in here and reap the benefits. Thats from extracurricular activities like selling dope. You dont get much at all from welfare barely subsistence. And I wouldnt want to see a 50 dollar apt. It must be in sh*tsville. Illegals CANT get welfare or medicaid or any bennys in NY dude unless they get pregnant. That is a misconception.

[darth los]

well in my case im good at making stupid jokes adn not much else, so im screwed. I wouldn't say that. I'm sure there's a market for your talents somewhere. You're still young there's plenty of time to figure out what you want to do. Just enjoy life while you can.

That is a misconception. well I think its cheating the owner of a bar by giving big tippers more... its like hooking your friends up when they come in... its wrong and Canadiens are also bad tippers because in Canada the waiters and bartenders get min wage or better... same in Europe... they prolly just dont know any better ... like when a person goes into a restaurant with an Entertainment card that knocks off an entree and they tip you on the reduced total... they dont realize you're tipping out on the whole total

Youre friend is a MEGA asshole. wow ,just blew right over your head huh? SHE WASNT A WAITER!, i said that, as well as them being serves food by a waiter, who they did tip, she just showed up callign herself a "comfort techniction" asked for them to leave her a tip and was never seen again. thanks for reading the whole paragraph before being oh so witty

Dont blame me for a bunch of these asterisks*** and mangled English dude. And I still don't see how that was funny anyway because I have actually had jobs (period) and ones where you have to ask for embarrassing ****. well I think its cheating the owner of a bar by giving big tippers more... its like hooking your friends up when they come in... its wrong I meant extra service not free stuff. Like a faster response though I work hard anyway but when you stiff me youre getting ignored. And I could have given 2 sh*ts about the gangster exploitive bosses I worked for anyway for the most part. I dont think hooking your friends up a little bit is wrong. Its part of the perks of having such a crap job in the first place. I would never tip in a Doctors offic. Thats TACKY. I have never seen that and I cant imagine why you would. The Tip jar thing is getting nuts. Theres a tip cup everywhere now. EDIT; Y'know Hellsing that post reminded me of all the times I got stiffed and burned and crapped on by strangers at jobs like that. It can really scar you brain after years of that kind of stuff. What can I say, Im sensitive.***sniff**. I dont know about that case but I have actually been instructed to say tacky stuff and if you think your going to get stiffed you might say something, though I usually took my chances because you can look really stupid doing that stuff.
