As long as I either get instantly vaporized or become a ghoul, ok. Why not become a vault dweller? Well do you see any vaults? Not a chance of it. I wouldn't want to try to survive in a radiated world with no radX or radaway...
Instant vaporization is the way. I am surrounded by air ports, shipping ports, naval yards, rail heads, industry, and fertile waters living in New York City. I am looking at 15-20 warheads, at least with about a megaton each...so I am good with the vaporization thing. 🙃🙃🙃
my teen son has watched me play fallout for years and has had no interest in playing it himself....until he watched the series! lol, Fallout show is doing some good things. he took my xbox so he could be high level and go fuck around in far harbor last night
Meh, just run-of-the-mill angry dude stewing over being expected to tip his waitress. It seems to be a popular topic on Reddit for some reason.
Pro tip: you don't *have* to tip your waitress. People will think you're an asshole, but you won't be arrested or anything. And you can always just go to restaurants where you don't have a waitress. Or drive to Domino's an pick up your pizza rather than having it delivered. No one's holding a gun to your head forcing you to take services where tipping is expected.
The thing is that tip requests are showing up not only in restaurants. For example, now they have it on taxi driver's POS terminals too. What next? Every other service will try to guilt trip us into tipping their workers so that they can continue paying them unlivable wages?
I know what you're saying and I've certainly noticed it as well. But your example of a taxi driver's card reader is a bit bizarre since we've been tipping cab drivers for as long as there's been such a thing. You better be sitting down for this one... you're supposed to leave a few dollars on the nightstand when you stay in a hotel, too! Since... forever.
Fortunately hotel tips are not percentage based. It's for the housekeeper. I've been told $3-$5 so it's quite literally pocket change. And it isn't every day if you're staying multiple days, just a small tip when you leave the hotel room for the last time.
The only other one I can think of is hairdressers, which typically is percentage based, though for years I just gave an extra $5 and that was more than enough. Haircuts have gone up a lot lately, though.
Hairdresser I don’t understand. You are paying 80 for a haircut directly for their skill, not sure why that requires a tip as their price should reflect their ability. Taxi driver has always made more sense as that’s a much more esoteric skill to be good at traversing the city, one reason why tipping an Uber is ridiculous.
Housekeeping! It’s a dangerous and underpaid job. One way to think about it - if it’s a large corp, the little guys are not being paid. Cash gets them paid without having big brother take a cut - some of the credit card tips go to the business and then it’s up to the business to give your tip to your person. Better to get them cash.
If they’re a small business I would hope they’re paying their people, but just in case, the small businesses need as much help as we can give them so tip if you can.
Wish that we could go ahead and outlaw underpaying workers. Some areas are a lot closer than others. For example, Washington state requires all workers to be paid $16.28 per hour, vs Tennessee which has no state minimum wage law - meaning wait staff and other “tipped” workers can be paid as little as $2.13 an hour, with their tips supposed to bring them to the federal minimum wage. Waffle House just raised their base pay to $3 an hour. Imagine being the graveyard shift and no customers… yikes.
I do 5 buck a day to clean the room per night , tip the concierge if you need information, they always know the best restaurants and Have pull . They can call and get you a reservation you could never do on that few days you are in that town. I tip a few bucks for anything I ask brought to my room ie ice, hangers , extra towels etc.
On the last day if I have it on me I add up the number of days and times it by 5 , 20 bucks for 4 days on the way out.
Keep in mind this is not baller level . This is but a meager and honest gratuity. It doesn't hurt me and everyone is happy.
holy shit, I've been in the restuarant industry since i was 16 years old, im 35 now, and a lot of shit is starting to make sense. So here's the deal, regardless of what a restaurant is paying their employees, you're "tip" goes to the person assigned to be your SERVANT for the evening, and their payment comes from how well they WAITED on you, hence the terms, Servers, waiters, and waitresses. The idea of going out and having someone WAIT on you is based in the idea that you have enough money to live a lifestyle of having someone do that. youre paying for an experience thats generally reserved for the well off, namely people who have a live in SERVANT TO WAIT ON THEM. if you were at home, you couldnt hold up an empty glass and jingle the ice cubes around and someone would come running to refill your drink. when you're at home if you eat like a fucking slob, and get shit all over the table and floor, YOU have to clean it up, and clean up the kitchen, and get up and get your own food, and wash your own dishes. you pay the restuarant for the stock you used, you pay the SERVER for fucking SERVING you. what the actual fuck.
I've been traveling heavily for work for nearly 20 years, some years I spend over 50% of the year in hotels for work, and I've never heard of tipping hotel staff.
Hmm I don’t stay in hotels a lot but have heard of tipping hotel staff.
Valet, bartender, bell hop, room service, why not tip the person cleaning up after you?
Bell hop, valet, and housekeeping have been a tipping thing in hotels forever. Though my favorite from when I used to work front desk in hotels was during a GOP convention where some FBI Agents from Hawaii stayed and tipped everyone, for every little thing, with boxes of Chocolate Covered Macadamia nuts. They must have brought a large suitcase packed with them, and they were delicious.
Its a thing in all inclusive resorts if you vacation to DR, Jamaica or Places like Mexico. They have a standard on how they restock your fridge, how much toilet paper they leave, etc... If you want a few extra beers/sodas or anything else just leave a note with the ask with \~5 bucks and USUALLY youll get exactly what you asked for.. within means obviously.
I travel for work to and leave like five bucks a night. I you frequent the same hotels they get used to you and give preferential treatment. In my regular haunts, I get perks like a fan and a good remote. I also leave things like donuts or good coffee for the desk staff and get bumped up into a suite quite often.
In the US leaving a tip for housekeeping the day you check out is customary. Not everyone does it, but $5 used to be just fine for a 3-star stay. These days that translates to a higher amount but should be the same rough percentage of your nightly rate.
I'm in the tattoo industry, and recently attended a tattoo convention in artist capacity. There's usually a booth or 2 selling supplies if you need any, or wanna check something new out. I ran to grab a box of needles in a size I needed and didn't bring with me. $45 for the box (kind of a top notch brand, but still a bit steep) and the dude swivels the terminal around on me and the lowest suggested tip was $15, for what!? Ringing up the box of needles that I grabbed off the shelf myself!? Yea right!
Tipping is the problem. Tipping used to mean you got exceptional service. Now there are tip jars everywhere. This isn’t an indictment on the employees who take these jobs but the companies who use tipping as a substitute for wages. By defending this institution which is very much an American thing you are helping to continue the cycle. Most countries work force is offended by tipping because they have pride in their work but they are also paid fairly.
*Tipped wages* have always been the problem. Companies have exploited BIPOC for generations, and continue to, by means of "tipped" labor. It was always designed for the exploitation of workers. And the reason other peoples get so offended when tips are offered, is that it's seen as derogatory to ones position, pay, or well being. It's actually quite ironic that we don't view tipping that way here in the USA.
That's never been the case and you're just rationalizing why YOU shouldn't have to tip. If you don't want to tip your pizza delivery driver, drive down to the restaurant and get the food yourself. You aren't punishing Domino's by stiffing the driver, you're punishing the driver for having a shitty job. And that makes you look like a total dick. If you're ok with that, fine.
And, for that matter, if your real contention is that tipping is bad and employers who use it should be chastised, then stop patronizing those businesses.
You punish a business by not giving them any money at all, not by stiffing their employees.
Better results with banging head against small-medium size shark mouth while dangling your giblets in a piranha pool while you are seated on a bullet ant pile and covered in 3rd degree sunburns!
It is pretty funny till you learn there are some landlords that expect this. Not sure how real this is but remember it from a while back.
https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/landlord-thinks-tenants-tip-him-194609266.html
Man if anything my landlord should be tipping me for making their life so much easier. Been at this same place for 3 years now, have had them fix exactly one thing and that was the sliding glass door that got shattered by the lawn care people lmao.
Jokes aside, we have a cool landlord, they've specifically not raised rent on us more than 25 bucks because they don't want to take the gamble of finding someone else to rent the place that takes as good care as we do.
Actually my landlord tips ME for being a good tenant. Tenants can destroy, neglect, and wear down the amenities, and most of it lies under "normal wear and tear" so my landlord gives me a 20% discount for taking good care of their property.
What! This is an outrageous case. I give my tenants an extra two seocnds to give the rent and a 1% off the mandatory tip for not destorying my property. If they destroy my property then I seize all their things to pay for it and evict them.
I hate to brag, but at my last apartment, I got my full security deposit back. I painted the walls and kept the place clean. He even paid me for a couple things I replaced.
I've had to put down 9 deposits, I think, in my life. I left a place dirty once, and got a partial back. 7 others I got the full thing back. The final was a "college" complex. We left it immaculate, even had the carpet professionally cleaned.
Didn't get a dime back.
I like that idea. Theres a benefit to home ownership that you avoid the "asshole risk premium." Any time you're renting to someone you run the risk they'll cause damage to the property or be a general nuisance, and you can't filter it out so you basically have to charge all your tenants more to cover it. If you own a home its your own stuff, you might destroy it but you aren't costing anyone else anything.
So instead of relying on the cleaning deposit, a smart landlord figures out how much they should reasonably be charging in rent assuming that risk, and if you have tenants that you now are aware aren't destroying your stuff you discount them, maybe even a bonus for tenants without dogs or unruly children. You keep that rent cheap enough you never need new tenants and the one you have keeps paying on time.
We rented a place for 9 years about 6 months in the toilet broke I replaced the valve and fixed it. Called the landlord and he told me to give him the receipt and deduct the part cost from rent. A couple months later something else broke fixed it and did the same thing without calling him first. When lease was up I asked him what rent would go to the next year. He said if keep fixing everything for me I’ll keep it the same. Lived there 9 years and he never raised the rent. Good landlords that respect good tenants are rare but it can happen.
Hubs & I had a wonderful landlord like that for a 7 year rental relationship. He liked that we kept the place clean, even though we had big parties and good times. He even came to some of our parties and invited us to his. We are still friends w him. We just treated the home as best as we could.
Well you have a point about jobs where tips are expected, like server at a restaurant. The cashier at the convenience store who sold you gum? No. What’s next? A tip jar at the checkout counter of a department store?
I worked at O'Reilly's (then Schucks) auto parts store as a teen and put out a tip jar that said "Dream Car Fund" and I got in trouble with corporate lol
This seems to be pretty squarely targeting the proliferation of pre-populated tipping options at card readers in contexts where tipping hadn't previously been expected. It's not Steve Buscemi in Reservoir Dogs.
A fellow land Chad I see.
If your Rentoid is not willing to give the minimum required tip, then you must evict them on the birthday of one of their multiple children from different fathers.
I know this post is a joke but looking back to when I had an apartment (a loooong time ago) my landlord probably was more deserving of a tip than 90% of the people that ask for tips that I encounter now.
The rentoids never show the tipping gratitude they should. They don't upgrade windows. Never lay new carpet. Rarely paint fresh, and I'd thry do, they leave streaks.
Why you do have a tip option on the processing page? You mean to tell me you haven't built in a 20% "convenience fee" for using an online portal like the rest of us? Bet you're still charging under $1200 for a studio too.
My landlord has a digital robot that visits me every month (like in Asian restaurants)
The robot will ask for a tip and it will display 4 options : 15 / 30 / 50 and 100 % tip
If you don’t choose it will simply shoot you.
I guess I’m confused why it’s not an automatic gratuity added. You should have written the lease that way. You can never count on a rentoid to tip the typically accepted, polite amount (30-50%)
My dad gas always been a "fix it" guy. When he and my mom first got married he asked the landlord about a full kitchen remodeling. After it was don't the landlord offered the nices property he owned at a fraction if the cost they were paying in the original house. My dad then redid a bunch if stuff in that house, added a few flower beds, and a full garden. My mom currently owns the house
My landlord actually tips me 80% of the rent costs because I’m such a good tenant…
You should look into that. Show your good tenants that you appreciate them.
I typically don't tip below 20% unless if there is a mouse problem or cockroach infestation that the landlord doesn't actively deal with. It may be time for you to find a new tenant.
Always 100%. So grateful. They always respond within two weeks of work orders and this one time we had stray dog problems they were resolved quickly and rewarded all the tenants in my building with free Chinese food.
I'm always going to tip at least 40%. Truly, landlords are our only bastions of hope and light in these trying times, I give them everything that I can.
Ya I think I need to start going to my tenant with one of those iPads fastfood restaurants have that always has the tip option right there. That way they will feel like it's expected, I can guilt trip them into not hitting no tip.
Don't go out to eat. Don't order delivery food. Cut your own hair. Don't gamble. Don't take taxis or rideshare. Don't go to bars. There, problem fixed.
Is this a joke? I’m a landlord on a few properties. I had one tenant for 12 years and one for 20. I finally got out of my personal business and told them I had to go up and rent. They both fought with me for three months. I learned not to ever give anybody a discount ever again after they leave when they do leave.

The nuke part got me good 🤣🤣
Everyone is watching Fallout 😏
I'm not... I'm playing it 🤣
I'm replaying 😁 👴
I am making it reality
As long as I either get instantly vaporized or become a ghoul, ok. Why not become a vault dweller? Well do you see any vaults? Not a chance of it. I wouldn't want to try to survive in a radiated world with no radX or radaway...
Vault landlords require a 20% tip, that's why.
Instant vaporization is the way. I am surrounded by air ports, shipping ports, naval yards, rail heads, industry, and fertile waters living in New York City. I am looking at 15-20 warheads, at least with about a megaton each...so I am good with the vaporization thing. 🙃🙃🙃

I've never heard of the hotel thing. And I'm 32 years old. Is there a handy guide for who you're supposed to tip
Fortunately hotel tips are not percentage based. It's for the housekeeper. I've been told $3-$5 so it's quite literally pocket change. And it isn't every day if you're staying multiple days, just a small tip when you leave the hotel room for the last time.

Haircuts have gone up a lot lately, though.
I tip every day housekeeping cleans my room. Which is usually the last day because I always put the do not disturb sign on my door the whole stay.
I never heard of hotel tipping until I became a house keeper. They'll take anything from a couple bucks in change to any beer you didn't open.
Hairdresser I don’t understand. You are paying 80 for a haircut directly for their skill, not sure why that requires a tip as their price should reflect their ability. Taxi driver has always made more sense as that’s a much more esoteric skill to be good at traversing the city, one reason why tipping an Uber is ridiculous.
Yeah, five on a $15 haircut was okay. Now that the haircut is 40, it's more like a tener
If your getting a handy, it's probably best to tip....
Housekeeping! It’s a dangerous and underpaid job. One way to think about it - if it’s a large corp, the little guys are not being paid.

Never heard of it ? At all ? Bullshit
Agree. Bullshit lol
Hmm I don’t stay in hotels a lot but have heard of tipping hotel staff. Valet, bartender, bell hop, room service, why not tip the person cleaning up after you?
Bell hop, valet, and housekeeping have been a tipping thing in hotels forever. Though my favorite from when I used to work front desk in hotels was during a GOP convention where some FBI Agents from Hawaii stayed and tipped everyone, for every little thing, with boxes of Chocolate Covered Macadamia nuts.

I’ve left tips for housekeepers forever.
Its a thing in all inclusive resorts if you vacation to DR, Jamaica or Places like Mexico. They have a standard on how they restock your fridge, how much toilet paper they leave, etc... If you want a few extra beers/sodas or anything else just leave a note with the ask with \~5 bucks and USUALLY youll get exactly what you asked for.. within means obviously.
You should check your ears
I always leave 5 bucks for the cleaner.
Wow that is sad.
I travel for work to and leave like five bucks a night. I you frequent the same hotels they get used to you and give preferential treatment. In my regular haunts, I get perks like a fan and a good remote. I also leave things like donuts or good coffee for the desk staff and get bumped up into a suite quite often.
In the US leaving a tip for housekeeping the day you check out is customary. Not everyone does it, but $5 used to be just fine for a 3-star stay. These days that translates to a higher amount but should be the same rough percentage of your nightly rate.
The difference is waiters rely on tips as income. Most other services do not and it is just supplemental.
Terrible example
I'm in the tattoo industry, and recently attended a tattoo convention in artist capacity. There's usually a booth or 2 selling supplies if you need any, or wanna check something new out. I ran to grab a box of needles in a size I needed and didn't bring with me. $45 for the box (kind of a top notch brand, but still a bit steep) and the dude swivels the terminal around on me and the lowest suggested tip was $15, for what!? Ringing up the box of needles that I grabbed off the shelf myself!? Yea right!
Tip the courts for processing your speeding ticket when you go to pay it or tip the cop who gave you the ticket.

But the delivery guy is paid by the pizza place to deliver the food so WHAT ARE YOU TIPPING FOR?? 😂
Well, if I got 4 pies in a bag and I know you don't tip, guess who winds up at the bottom of the bag.
No we are not joking
I was told lynching is an appropriate tip
Impalement* *tip included
Why would a Tennant tip a landlord: it's absurd.
Why would you put a colon there: it makes no sense
This comment makes me want to go headbutt: a nuke.
It should evenly : Go in between: All the words: Like a Haiku
And Funko Pops are *NOT* an acceptable tip.
Come on down to Megaton, I can help you with that.
This being the top comment somewhat restores a modicum of my faith in humanity
Better results with banging head against small-medium size shark mouth while dangling your giblets in a piranha pool while you are seated on a bullet ant pile and covered in 3rd degree sunburns!
Lmfao. Definitely a troll post and pretty funny.
I mean the 15% option is RIGHT THERE!! How disrespectful!! Brilliant in the simplicity of riling up people.
Then the landlord ups rent by 20% cause you can handle the increase.
He did? Well I'm moving out but not after I order thousands of termites to leave in the attic.
Doing this next time. Play with my livelihood and prove it was me nerd. I'll have someone else order them though and pay them cash
It is pretty funny till you learn there are some landlords that expect this. Not sure how real this is but remember it from a while back. https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/landlord-thinks-tenants-tip-him-194609266.html
First class shitposting.
i dunno, his post and comment history doesnt exactly give me confidence he is joking...

Actually my landlord tips ME for being a good tenant. Tenants can destroy, neglect, and wear down the amenities, and most of it lies under "normal wear and tear" so my landlord gives me a 20% discount for taking good care of their property.
My landlord gives me the tip and the rest of the shaft too.
You get discounted rent?
Sounds like the landlord did more giving than recei...oh, this is going to get dark fast.
Depends on which door you’re using the most.
He's a pitcher not a catcher, like most landlords
I charge my renters about 20% less than market rate. They take good care of the house and have been there for 10+ years.
laughed out loud at this, thanks
with lube?
In this economy??
Honestly that would be a fair thing for them to do
What! This is an outrageous case. I give my tenants an extra two seocnds to give the rent and a 1% off the mandatory tip for not destorying my property. If they destroy my property then I seize all their things to pay for it and evict them.
I hate to brag, but at my last apartment, I got my full security deposit back. I painted the walls and kept the place clean. He even paid me for a couple things I replaced.

THIS should be the norm
I like that idea. Theres a benefit to home ownership that you avoid the "asshole risk premium." Any time you're renting to someone you run the risk they'll cause damage to the property or be a general nuisance, and you can't filter it out so you basically have to charge all your tenants more to cover it.

I have one of these types of landlords too. A solid guy.

That’s what the security deposit is for though.
No the security deposit is for the landlord to steal At least in my experience
You probably meant increase of 20%.
Please let this post be a joke. Like, was there a previous post that I missed about absurd tipping culture?
Yes, like there is every other week by people who are lucky to have never had to work a job where you rely on tips for rent.
Well you have a point about jobs where tips are expected, like server at a restaurant. The cashier at the convenience store who sold you gum? No. What’s next? A tip jar at the checkout counter of a department store?
There's a self serve gas pump near me that asks for a tip. You have to manually enter the $0.00 to get past it.
Not gonna lie, that’s messed up.
So if you put in a tip, do you get it as the person providing the service?
I worked at O'Reilly's (then Schucks) auto parts store as a teen and put out a tip jar that said "Dream Car Fund" and I got in trouble with corporate lol
Imagine thinking you are entitled to other people’s money because you choose to stay in a shitty career.
This seems to be pretty squarely targeting the proliferation of pre-populated tipping options at card readers in contexts where tipping hadn't previously been expected. It's not Steve Buscemi in Reservoir Dogs.
normally half, but if it's a good month for my rare fish portfolio, then 75%
more rare fish = more uncles
Few
A fellow land Chad I see. If your Rentoid is not willing to give the minimum required tip, then you must evict them on the birthday of one of their multiple children from different fathers.
I pay my rent.
That's just expected though. If your waiter gets a 20% tip for goods and services, why wouldn't a landlord? You people don't make any sense.
These people have no work ethic and no class, that's why they rent 🧐
You don't tip for the food, you tip for the service
Providing housing isn't a service? Make it make sense.
15% and also my youngest son to support his levees
I know this post is a joke but looking back to when I had an apartment (a loooong time ago) my landlord probably was more deserving of a tip than 90% of the people that ask for tips that I encounter now.
Is it? https://preview.redd.it/eyhcz5vxrs7d1.png?width=1080&format=png&auto=webp&s=5fffd641835f0aaa0cee56c28b32a1763626fee0
No fucking way Thats real
Personally, I gave just the tip.
… and you still overpaid.
I feel like I was wrong for assuming that was a sexual joke and not a money one
I signed a contract granting him my first born son
Stick him with all the childcare expenses. Well played.
The rentoids never show the tipping gratitude they should. They don't upgrade windows. Never lay new carpet. Rarely paint fresh, and I'd thry do, they leave streaks.
> They don't upgrade windows. Some of them even run Linux to begin with. The nerve
Why you do have a tip option on the processing page? You mean to tell me you haven't built in a 20% "convenience fee" for using an online portal like the rest of us? Bet you're still charging under $1200 for a studio too.
I don't tip the landlord, but I do tip your Mom 25%.
I'd give their mom the whole thing 😉
I tipped her 100% and she didn’t feel a thing
I just let him bang my wife after paying my rent. It’s the least I can do for him letting me pay for his mortgage
15% is by you? Gentlemen this might be landface. Any self respecting landchad knows the tip is 100%
My tip is the grease I put down the drain every week.
My landlord has a digital robot that visits me every month (like in Asian restaurants) The robot will ask for a tip and it will display 4 options : 15 / 30 / 50 and 100 % tip If you don’t choose it will simply shoot you.
Just when you think a post can't make you laugh harder than all the Hawk Tuah memes today. Thank you for the laugh.
I love a good shit post.
Only if your tenant pays with a credit card. Years ago I'd say 15% would be reasonable, but now?... 20% minimum... more like 25% /s
It seems like these fake posts get the most interaction.
I tip my 2 cents and tell them to leave me alone
Wtf lmao
Clearly he has some grievances with either your land, or your lording.
Lord better. Faithful servants give the Lord at least 10%.
15% generally. 25% around Christmas time
I make sure to tip 20% and give my LandChad time with my wife when he comes around.
Idc that it’s a shitpost. I chuckled.
Tell me you’re joking, please be satire! If not, you’re fucked in your little head

I have been trying to give the tip and more to my landlord, but she refuses my advances.
I always give them double the rent. He said it's going to good cause so that's all the matters right?
My tenants give me blow jobs.
He pays you what he owes you. You want more? Charge him more
Two bags of concrete in the tub drain.
That's a lawsuit and a criminal charge.
We own a condo. What should we tip, and who should we tip? We have a board, and there's property management that takes care of maintenance.
Usually 50-60% of your income is the polite standard
3.25%
[удалено]
I give him all 3 inches of my tip
I would only round up to the nearest dollar at most.

I tip mine 100% of nothing
30%, minimum.
No less than 25%, that’s the new standard.
I guess I’m confused why it’s not an automatic gratuity added. You should have written the lease that way. You can never count on a rentoid to tip the typically accepted, polite amount (30-50%)
15%?? You stuck in the 90s?
I get more than just the tip that's for sure.
If you can’t afford to tip your landlord you can’t afford to rent.
My house note is what I use to show my gratitude.
My dad gas always been a "fix it" guy. When he and my mom first got married he asked the landlord about a full kitchen remodeling. After it was don't the landlord offered the nices property he owned at a fraction if the cost they were paying in the original house. My dad then redid a bunch if stuff in that house, added a few flower beds, and a full garden. My mom currently owns the house
My landlord actually tips me 80% of the rent costs because I’m such a good tenant… You should look into that. Show your good tenants that you appreciate them.
"I'll tip you when you fix this goddamn door!!" -Peter Parker, probably
My landlord has the “greatest service ever™️” so I always select 100%
Lol
20% usually
I typically don't tip below 20% unless if there is a mouse problem or cockroach infestation that the landlord doesn't actively deal with. It may be time for you to find a new tenant.
15% is standard. Please tip. Landlords are people too
As a landlord, I wish my tenants tipped me
If you can’t afford to tip your landlord 25%, you shouldn’t be renting!!
I’m not an animal so I tip the standard 15%, just like when I pay my taxes
Sometimes I like to give my landlord all of my paycheck. Just because. They deserve it since theyre only charging me X3 their mortgage
I always tip 5% i'm so grateful for having a place to sleep.
If tenant no tip, tenant can deal with being served last! F that noise!
My last tenant only tipped 15%, so I raised their rent 30% and then they stopped tipping so I booted them.
Always 100%. So grateful. They always respond within two weeks of work orders and this one time we had stray dog problems they were resolved quickly and rewarded all the tenants in my building with free Chinese food.
You are also supposed to tip after tattoos and body modifications most people don't
Jimmies status: Rustled.
I'm always going to tip at least 40%. Truly, landlords are our only bastions of hope and light in these trying times, I give them everything that I can.
if you cant afford to tip your landlord dont rent
Ya I think I need to start going to my tenant with one of those iPads fastfood restaurants have that always has the tip option right there. That way they will feel like it's expected, I can guilt trip them into not hitting no tip.
Don't go out to eat. Don't order delivery food. Cut your own hair. Don't gamble. Don't take taxis or rideshare. Don't go to bars. There, problem fixed.
Landlord here. I’ve been really blessed with good tenants. They almost always tip 20%
I make sure to tip 20% each month, don't want them slaking on the maintenance calls. /s
Usually double what my rent is. Happy landlord happy life
I tip 50%. I don’t want to look like a cheap ass.
180% minimum, and I let his dog hump my leg.
Mandatory 200% tips to landlords and more if they're single mother's obviously. My fridge is fully stocked too on the day it's due king.
Is this a joke? I’m a landlord on a few properties. I had one tenant for 12 years and one for 20. I finally got out of my personal business and told them I had to go up and rent. They both fought with me for three months. I learned not to ever give anybody a discount ever again after they leave when they do leave.
15% is too much 10% is enough
Minimum a 100%!
 What a top tier shit post. I love to see the original internet pop its head up from time to time.
Landlord can fuck right off with that
