Polite ways to say "keep the change"

[Lambruh]

When I use to bartend, even though it's the most common and direct way to "you can just keep the change", to me that was alwys a rusty phrase. It comes off more like "well it's really mine, but i'll let you have it since you probably need it most". And I know that's not it's intentions but after ngrs get buzzed that's really how it starts to come off sounding like.

I'm suprised more people aren't taught differant ways to say this. It's almost a 4/5 ratio. Are you one of these folk? you should try switching it up a bit. throw some flavor in it. Ex: "ehhh, don't even worry about the change, the cash in my wallet is weighing me down enough" etc

at the bar, i just leave the change on the bar for the bartender to take. push the money to the inside edge of the bar so they know its theirs/ unspoken understanding ya know?

 

[Lambruh]

yeah that's straight, unspoken is good

I always liked it when a person/couple would come in, asked about life/what I was doing that night, etc. Then when they went to leave they'd give me an hint like they were leaving (put on their coat, stand up, stretch, reach for their keys) hand me flat bills, say goodbye, smile and just walk out

I never say that. If I am tipping I just pass them the money,smile, and say "thank you".

 

[calveless wonder]

i usually say "no, thats for you"

or "no, thats yours"

I'll either walk away before they have a chance to give it to me, or I just say something like, "oh, no thanks, I'm good" when they try to hand it to me.

 

[puddlemonkey]

I don't really care how it comes across.

What's the deal with bartenders just keeping my change w/o asking? That's happened to me twice. Do some of them think a woman is gonna be too meek to say what's up with that? That's a guaranteed way to get no tip at all from me.

no need to be polite about it...if they give good service leae the change on the bar...if they are not a good server ill krrp my money..i always open a tab, id rather tip at the end of my drinking...if they keep my drinks coming non stop i usually tip 25%....if the service sucks ill gladly keep my money and cross out the tip section...you want my money work for it..i dont give a fuck how big the bartneders tits are..if shes fucking up my drink flow she isnt getting shit

plus 99% of bartnders are whores...smack a bitch up before her diseased ass comes at me
