Am I Cheap?

[Fragadelic]

A few weeks ago, I get a Christmas card from the kid who delivers my newspaper (strategically placing his address in the first line). I figure wtf -- he always delivers it close to the porch and double bags it when it's raining/snowing so I send him back a Christmas card with a check for $25.

This morning it's pouring rain and I go to get the paper and it's (1) in the f**king street and (2) sticking halfway out of one bag and pretty soaked. Did I stiff the kid?

now now


call the paper company and complain

all else fails use a bb gun

lol
seriously

multiply the yearly subsription rate by .15
if is is less than 25$ then you tipped him well
if more than you stiffed him
but i wonder just how many people tipped him

25$ doesn't sound cheap to me
my freaking bosses didn't even give me axmas bonus
i would be glad with 25$
lol

$25 is the kind of tip you leave after a £200 meal for 6.....

shit... maybe I am cheap.

if i was your server i would say yes

it should be at least 30 pounds for 200
and if i gave good service i would expect more
or next time you'll be seated next to the kitchen door

Maybe the regular guy was sick so they had someone else delivering the paper. And all that person cared about was getting done and getting home to go back to bed.

naw
bring on the beartraps
lynch the lil bugger

Normally, the rule is: If you have to ask if you are cheap, you probably are.

However, you did tip that guy well. $25 bucks for newspaper delivery? That is plenty.

I am certain that more people stiff him, than tip him.

Tiger88, what is the TOS infraction on this post, and why did you miss it? You wont make it through the probationary period by letting crap like this slide.
