The less sober I am, the heavier I tip.
It's simple math

Almost like me.. The less sober I am the heavier I fall.
It's simple physics.. tied in with lack of coordination;)

I tip at one or two bars when I order complicated stuff, won't tip for a smirnoff ice or beer or something like that, tip the pizza boy because its a long drive to ours, plus have good service from them.

Tipping is not generally done in Australia because the wages here are far superior to most other countries, where hospitality staff rely on tips to top up their wages. I never tip for this reason.

Dominos drivers ger payed $11.44 an hour plus $1.84 per order delivered and the company takes 25c per order back as "insurance" its not great money, but its an easy job so it makes sense. tips help paying for fuel.

You know what a nurses aid gets for looking after old people in nursing homes? I'm sure it's changed a little but not much. It was $12@hour when my wife was doing it and it's a hell of a lot harder than delivering pizza and she never got any tips. It can be so hard in fact that many of them end up injured from having to deal with falling heavy patients. They are told they should just let them fall but who with a heart can? If they break something they are dead.

I dident know it was that bad for nurses in old folks homes. I voluntered in one while i was in school, dident last more than a week or two the place was just so depressing. Thats a national discrace, $12 an hour for that work.

Sad that society sees it as less important than delivering pizza as far as pay is concerned. Checkout chicks were payed more.
