Park your own cars, ya no-tipping jerks! Or get a fucking bike.

Some of us aren't lucky enough to have jobs that society deems "tip-worthy". Whiner.

"Are you clueless to my efforts on your behalf, or as I suspect, just a greedy, selfish bastard?"

Part of being a greedy, selfish bastard is being oblivious to the fact that all of the other bastards are greedy and selfish, too, which makes one clueless to the fact that another's efforts are not borne of altruism or a sense of personal satisfaction from a job well done, but instead of a desire to embiggen their tip. So, in answer to your question, anonymous parking lot attendant, they are both, just like you.

Sometimes people don't tip because they don't know that it's permitted, expected or a common thing to do. We all (or most of us) tip waiters and waitresses, but there are a lot of jobs out there that people have no idea are tippable. At Christmas time, newspapers always have articles on who you should give an Xmas tip to, including: doormen, mailmen, drycleaners, and (believe it or not) gas pumpers at gas stations. If we had to tip everyone who ever did something for us while they were on the job, we'd all get cash-poor pretty quickly. I think some jobs are tippable and others are not, but a lot of times people are just uninformed or clueless on anything beyond the person who waits the table at a restaurant.

Barbers!

Hmmm. Know what sucks about being unemployable in a non-service industry during a recession? Having to work for tips. Know what sucks about having to work for tips. Everything. Customers are dumb, and cheap, and forgetful, and some people just hate your asshole face for no good reason. Maybe your next BA should be in something other than Art History.

Here's a friggin I, Anonymous(ish)

Dear dickheads,

Yeah, you with cars to park, jobs to drive too and enough spare bills to toss at a parking lot attendant. Fuck you.

"Recession" doesn't even begin to describe the depression that comes with months of unemployment, actual non-Africa malnutrition, a student loan worth less than 'Sallie Mae' in Scrabble.

And don't start pointing fingers. It's not just Wall Street, Lovejoy. Who has the actual money in hand to build or buy one of the two dozen condo complexes currently whistling in the breeze around downtown? That shit's as much a ponzi as anything Bernie devised.

Forget for a second the douche-bag bonus-hounds on Wall Street. Let's get a bit introspective. Put the loupe to the fine print of entitlement.

Let's start with all you silver spoon bitches who pissed away our money on "just the right" copper pot collection to match the marble countertops. And Hummers, are you fucking serious? "I've got every album Weezer ever made, live and in three languages." Great, you mind if I eat a few? I tire of boot leather. Excellent use of resources people.

I want you to remember folks, if you've got a few spare thousands of dollars flapping around in your hand purse, it is there because some of us are forced, by market forces and dividend-swelling low wages, to live five and six grown, salary-earning adults to a house, bike to work (if we've got work), shop Good Will and vacation in tents outside Sandy. And not always by choice. But definitely because we don't think ourselves so twat fucking irreplaceable special.

I hope your teeth caps turn septic.

be glad you have a job.

you want a tip?

how about the tip of my dick in your mouth.?

It's not just you, everybody gets fucked on tips at times. However I would bet money that you have gotten an amazing tip before. Things even themselves out. If you are so upset that you are not being tipped enough then quit your fucking job. There are a ton of people would love a job. Yes just a job, people would kill for a job even if the tips are shitty.

Feel like your money's disappearing from your wallet for no reason? I have a great solution! Park at the U-Park at the corner of 4th and Everett. They actually skimmed my credit card # and charged me on days that I didn't park there.

Hey man, I know it's a drag to be taken for granted but I commend you on doing a good job anyway. Goodness is it's own reward, but you give that reward away when you get angry.
