As a Waratahs fan and a NSW citizen it pains me to say it's difficult watching them sometimes, hahaha

I only watched their latest game today. Here is what I noticed. They are reluctant to kick the ball once at halfway. They'd rather try runs and break through. After about 15 tackles of going nowhere they lose the ball. If they kicked it deep into their opponents area that'd highly benefit them. They need to play a territorial game even if they are kicking it deep. KICK THE BLOODY BALL!

Also something I've noticed all season long. Waratahs drop the ball frequently and they are constantly giving away penalties

It pains me to say this but in recent games even our line outs have been on the crap side. AHHHHH!

Rant over

I don't give a fuck. Fuck tipping. It's stupid

I spent 8 nights in Hollywood and 18 nights in Vegas

Like the post says I didn't tip at all

In Hollywood I returned to a place I didn't tip at and once again I didn't tip. Guess what, as expected I got away with it both times. The second time I rocked up the worker I didn't tip was there, hahaha. He walked off when he saw me so he wouldn't have to serve me. Fair enough, I'm not fussed

Was out drinking beer one night. Had four. All at the same venue. I tipped zero dollars every time. Got served just fine every time meaning I was treated no differently

I drank beer another night. Once again I tipped nothing every time. First beer, zero dollars. Second beer, got served like a normal person by the same worker and once again I tipped zero dollars. Third beer, I could tell that worker was refusing to serve me. It was obvious I was being ignored. He then started a conversation with another customer. Then another worker served me. I tipped zero dollars. Then as soon as I was served the worker ignoring me ended his conversation and resumed work. Also with this third beer I didn't realise that they held onto my card. 5 minutes later the worker comes up to me with my card and says "Is this yours, I forgot to give it back." It was mine. I checked via the internet and thankfully he didn't add on a tip without me knowing. But a quick Google search shows that if you don't tip they sometimes won't return your card. Very uncool of them. Because of this I didn't get another beer. Would of had one more otherwise. But the positive is the drinks were very expensive. 14 US dollars just for a beer. Was a live music venue hence the high price. I saved money via not buying a fourth beer

The two drinking stories were in Vegas

Also in Vegas I went to one food place something like 7 or 8 times. Tipped zero dollars every time. As expected all good, nothing really happened. They even said "Welcome back" every time then I was treated fine, hahaha. They must get told to say "Welcome back" to anyone that returns. One night here me and the worker chatted a lot. I sit at bars for quicker food service. As usual I tipped nothing. Then another time when he was there we barely chatted but outside of that service was fine. So he would of known I don't tip because the other time so he figured he won't bother having friendly chit chat with me. Fair enough. I'm not fussed

Best part about tipping is it's not a legal requirement so me and anyone else who doesn't want to tip doesn't have to

I'm from Australia by the way. Did a post a year ago in here also. Was in Vegas for 9 days last year and I didn't tip either

I feel and believe that tipping is stupid. One country in the world has the system so yep, I'm not gonna care about a stupid system. I also feel it's completely wrong for a customer to have to pay a worker their wages. I also know that workers get more than an average wage via tips so they're all for the system. And just say I'm wrong about that last point I really don't care. Their bosses should pay them an hourly wage like the rest of the world

Morals of the story. If you don't want to tip then don't. Never feel bad, pressured or guilted into doing it. Also it's not a legal requirement so it's your legal right to not tip. Also because it's not a legal requirement there is basically nothing they can do. You'll get away with leaving zero dollars basically

Also know they want a 20% tip based off the cheque price. I don't care. Also sometimes I'd spend just 15 seconds with workers to place my order. I was a solo traveller and a lot of the time 20% of my cheques was 4 to 8 US dollars. Give them that for 15 seconds of work, hahaha. I don't think so. Also it takes 15 seconds to sort someone a beer, hahaha. Or 30 seconds max

The tipping system is massively broken. Fuck tipping
