Gag Tim Horton's.. Gag.... I would rather drink a coffee from the nearest gas station than timmy's sludge... and, my sister and her husband both used to work at a tim's... and the stories I heard about the donut making?! Oh gross.... the ONE thing I love to do at the drive through though, is to give the drive through people the EXACT change. Right down to the penny.... or maybe it is just a NS thing.. but my gawd, the workers EXPECT a tip.. hello? you get PAID to serve me. Oh, I am rambling... oh, but before I dropped sugar etc from my diet, I was obsessed with their fruit explosion muffins. yum....

Gilly, Gilly, Gilly, tipping a server at Tim's is no different than tipping your sever at a restaurant or bar. Tipping is how they survuve.

Yes, but do you tip the drive through attendant at Burger king? No. Mcdonald's? no. Why do the tim hortons people EXPECT it? heck, where I am from they will keep your change without asking! Drives me nuts! And.. how they survive? they get paid, minimum, wage or what have you, and there are a LOT of professions where people get paid the same wages, and can't expect tips. But, heck my sister made about an extra $20-30 a day in tips working at Timmy's.

Ok, yes, I am rambling/babbling, don't remind me;)

I believe some of those companies have a no tipping policy. I think no tipping should be allowed but the salaries increased. That would be for all services you presently tip.

BTW does anybody know when and how tipping started?

Well, yes...I do....does anyone really want to know? Or do you already know and want to tell us?

No a serious question which most people probably wonder about but are afraid to ask.

And yes I knows it's an acronym of To Insure Prompt Service. But I expect prompt service where ever I am, whether my mechanic, bank teller, police officer, karaoke host, etc, etc, etc.

Ahem, well now. Class!!

Actually here's a very interesting link that tells you all you want to know and more! And I really did already know, I worked as a reference librarian and know all kinds of useless stuff!!








http://money.howstuffworks.com/tipping1.htm (I hope it's not deleted...)

Good link Jeanne:) and to make me happy.. under the heading "Who are we NOT supposed to tip...

Who are we NOT supposed to tip?There are still a few people out there who we are NOT supposed to tip. Some of these include: (I took out a few, babble babble)
Food deliveries under $30
Busboys in restaurants
Salespeople
---->*****Employees at fast food restaurants*****<-------

I consider the drive through attendant an employee of a fast food restaurant. Boom. No tip from ME. Ok, I am done now;) Thanks, back to you.

*taking the mic from Gilly

Thank you Gilly. And did you notice we're not to tip bus drivers? So will you or Crystal be driving?
