The Retirement Thread

You can tip with most cards these days. There's a setting on the PDQ for that.

I know and if there's one thing that turns me off tipping it's being handed a card reader offering the option to tip 10%, 15%, 20% etc.

If I get good service I'm delighted to tip being forced to tip or being made to look a tight arse by not tipping really p***** me off.

I would agree with your point, plus, if I tip, I want it to go to the person who gave the good service, rather that into some “tip pool” and be shared among those who may not have given good service.

Many of the places we’ve been, post Covid, have reverted to the old “we’ve added x% to your bill as a discretionary service charge. Tell us if you’d like it removed”

Exactly. If I'm tipping I always find the person(s) who served us, give the tip and explain what he/she did so well for us. I feel it's the least one can do.

Ye gods - just watched 1st episode of Ten Pound Poms.

BBC quality hits the floor - dreadful acting and an appalling, crass and cliched script.

Utter dross.

Note to self. Four free guinnesses before the first set does nothing to aid concentration

Or more.

My Good Lady is watching it as well.

Had to leave my car there and walk home. Probably not good to risk it after 9 free oirish coca colas. Our drummer was the most sober of the remainder and he dropped my gear home for me.

It seems you were correct.

I have risen! 1st!

Feeling surprisingly sprightly considering my Guinness consumption yesterday.
