Rude employee

Wait, India is Igloo now? Whiskey Tango Foxtrot Hotel is up with that?

It's been years since I was exposed to the lingo, so I had to look the stuff up online to get the 'I'. The website probably had it listed wrong or something.

That was pretty rude of the counter girl. I've worked several "tipped" jobs, but I never demanded or even asked for a tip. It was always a bonus, and I liked to feel like it was given because I earned it, not because I asked for it.

OT, but at my work, we use the letter things all the time (and I always forget what they're called!) but we tend to just make up our own. I've used D as in Dragon, and P as in Pickle.

The best I've heard so far was one of my trainers admitted she once used "U, as in underwear" on the phone with a customer.

i think there is only one place in town where i tip on carryout, and that's because it's a local buisness, and i know the tips are split with the kitchen staff.

but expecting a tip on a carryout till is kinda like me wanting a tip working at SDM.. kinda a wtf moment thar.

I tip at Subway when it's really busy and they're earning their keep But 90% of the time, I'll walk in mid-afternoon, and it's ONE guy trying to get everybody's sandwiches made (there's ALWAYS a moderate line-up when I'm in there) and do cash as well, and all his coworkers are in the back. There's a 1-way mirror to the lobby, so there's no way they don't know he's busy. INVARIABLY, he will have to call back and ask someone to come help him, that person comes, cashes out a couple of people, then disappears to the back without a word. *sigh* I usually hand him a tip rather than putting one in the cup (it's ALWAYS the same guy).

So my wife signs it, but the girl at the register pipes up, "You have to total it! And you know you have to leave a tip

Well, now, Miss, that's where you're wrong...I don't have to leave a tip for anything. Tips are intended as a bonus for good service, which does not include being told I have to leave a tip. If I have to leave the tip, it's not a tip, now is it? It's part of the charges...
