Do you guys tip when collecting your winnings??

No, and I'm not a skin flint either.
I'll tip the paperboy, I'll tip the cocktail waitress two dollars on a bottled water, I'll tip the barber...
I have to draw the line somewhere.

Hell na

**Thrilla** · 08-04-22, 12:19 AM

Piss on those motherfukkers

**gauchojake** · 08-04-22, 12:28 AM

What ever happened to that old guy who wrote tickets at the casino in Iowa?

I'm with ya Steve. Everyone these days wants a tip for doing their job. Got ice cream the other day, because I paid with a debit card, they said here's a question for you and turned the machine over to me to tip them. With cash, no questions asked.

If I win 1k or more I will throw them at least a $50. If I’m only betting 100s I don’t tip the ticket writers. Although I did used to see the same kid working at the old book at the Peppermill in Wendover. Anyway I would always ask him who everybody was betting on and if any known sharps had anything pending. I would tip that kid all the time for the info that helped out quite a few times. Most ticket writers are either not smart enough to know what you are really asking or they are miserable pricks and don’t want to help anyone else win.

The point of sale tipping is out of control. I'm not sure that the workers even get those tips. I just pay cash now whenever possible.

**flyingillini** · 08-04-22, 01:44 AM

Absolutely, not.

**Roscoe_Word** · 08-04-22, 02:10 AM

Yep.....I'm with Nasher. We even tip the Mailman (not Karl Malone)

Was collecting a winning ticket at the track one day, and my friends and I were "boozin it up" at the bar across from the ticket window.

I gave the teller the ticket and the MF'er shorted me a sawbuck. He saw us schmucks at the bar and thought he could pull a fast one.

I recieved his payment, noticed something was off, and started mental calculating.

Before I could say anything he said: "That's $67.80"....he had given me $57.

The Track had some real shady characters.

As far as tippin: "They'll get nothing and like it."

Happy that taking any tip as a casino gaming worker is illegal here and will see them lose their license to work there.

Pay rates are probably quite a bit higher though to account for that. But I'd prefer business costs are borne by the business and not left up to if a customer is nice enough to pay their employees properly.

**jjgold** · 08-04-22, 05:32 AM

nope

fuk them

Cannot beat -110 and you want to tip

**mama whoiscrying** · 08-04-22, 06:25 AM

**jjgold** · 08-04-22, 06:30 AM

I've been fortunate enough to make a few final tables in some regional tournaments.
Few of those tournaments when the final nine is set we pool our money, usually 20 dollars or so a person for the dealers.

**pologq** · 08-04-22, 06:44 AM

i hardly tip at the window. possibly a dealer if i like how they are handling the table compared to other horrible dealers.

as for tipping, they need to do something. it can't be there is a tip expected for every fcuking little thing. if a 30 yr old woman is doing my groceries and wants a tip she better show me some nipple or rub my banana.

This is a moot point for 87% of SBR since you have to cash tickets to be able to tip.

If I hit decent money, and its a person that I've gotten to know and I get a little insight from (e.g. sharp bets that have come in), I'll drop some bills to the ticket writer. But, definitely not if the person is a dick. Not always but, these are usually the old, pissed off at life white guys with no hair, and 300+lbs).

I usually tip the most at the craps table if the dealers have been good and looking out for my stacks.

**OldBill** · 08-04-22, 09:55 AM

nevahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh its not a service thatrequires tipping only waiters waitresses food delivery guy etc,,,, like am i gonna tip a mcd's worker NOWAY

**Fishhead** · 08-04-22, 09:59 AM

Folks most deserving of tips are landscapers

**KiDBaZkiT** · 08-04-22, 10:32 AM

Definitely a handful of cheap fukks in here. If you don’t wanna tip that’s fine but the dejected reaction by some in this thread of the idea of giving a tip is disgusting.

**jjgold** · 08-04-22, 12:20 PM

suckers are big tippers

**Snowball** · 08-04-22, 12:24 PM

never not once at track or casino do i tip the counter clerks.

It’s called having some class. If I’m at the window picking up a couple grand from some guy making $11 an hour I’m gonna hook him up instead of rub his nose in s*** if you don’t want to tip fine but don’t call people suckers cuz they are generous. Lol shouldnt expect anything f less from a true HEEB though. JJ squeezes a quarter so hard the eagle screams.

People that tip are usually insecure and looking for acceptance

Never ever tip tellers

You live back East and have a New York accent and you think giving someone a taste is attempting to create a “big shot image”?

It’s called putting a little good karma out there

Polker those girls clown too

As you get older you get much wiser and don’t go for that stuff

i got to disagree and side with kid. for those where tips are standard, i do it to be generous and brighten someone's day. not an outrageous amount, that i agree is very showy, but something beyond the normal that makes them feel good.
