Dogs tip Worse then Republicans and Lawyers / myLot

Ginger and Ace have decided the only reason I am home these days is to open the door to let them out when something in the backyard interests them, and then to let them back in 5 to 10 minutes later when they decide it is too hot outside. I wouldn't mind so much, if they tipped well, but the don't tip at all. This humorous thought got me to wondering who are the worst tippers, so I looked it up. The worst tippers from the standpoint of profession are lawyers, followed closely by doctors. I've always heard that lawyers were lousy tippers. From a political standpoint, Republicans are far worse tippers than Democrats. This fits the narrative, I suppose. Republicans don't want to tip too well for fear the server may develop aspirations of accumulating wealth and that is one thing Republicans absolutely cannot tolerate - the idea of anyone who is not already rich becoming rich. Or so the Democrats would have us believe. Either way, I am stuck with the part-time job of doggy door man, with no hope of ever being tipped for my efforts. Who knew my dogs were Republicans?

Since cafés and restaurants added 15% to include the service the tip has quite disappeared in France. I do not remember when a law authorized them to do so, but if I follow you it was probably a Democrat law

. Speaking of lawyers I remember a friend who was leaving tips of 10 or 20 cents. I was with him in a café once, and he left 10 cents. The waiter came, took the 10 cents, looked at him and said "Thank you, my prince"

; my friend responded "Your welcome, my good man".

@Fleurnight I prefer to have it included. First, many people do not use anymore cash, are paying everything with a credit card, and it would be impossible to add a tip ; and second some people were insisting a lot to get their tip, like the usherettes in cinemas and theaters who were blocking the way to your seat until they were satisfied by the amount of coins received in their hand

. And in a café you could be insulted if you were not giving something to the waiter. Sometimes they were taking a good tip themselves by not giving the change on a banknote and telling "Thank you"

@Fleurnight France and Canada are two different countries. France is a country full of apparently grumpy people complaining just to complain who are hardly following any rule and have been at the source of quite all revolutions in Europe. Canadians are more British : they queue, they do not like/accept criticism like we do, they do not raise their voice to insult or complain like us, etc. I am not sure that adding the tip with a card would have been possible here, because there is a VAT on the bill and not on the service/tip.

@Fleurnight How long did you lived there ? I would not use "honor" for a protest, but why not. Last time I went to a march was in 2015 after the attack on Charlie Hebdo. I had met two of the cartoonists killed in the past, and I was there to defend the freedom of the media, but our politicians considered that these marches were for more security and we got a few more laws restricting the freedom of everybody. A failure.

Wish you could get a decent tip there DW.

I guess I never had any of those bad tippers you mentioned. I was blessed with good tippers.
