Back to more tipping gear grinders.



I buy a new 65" TV online to pickup myself(wanted it to start the weekend and not wait for delivery). Am a bit tepid on it fitting in my car. I get to the store, show my ID and they send a young kid to help me bring it out. We gotta work it out and shift some stuff around and get it in on a bit of angle and when we get it in, he's genuinely stoked and gives a high five. I thank him sincerely and offer a twenty for his help, which was needed. He looks at it and I could see the conflict in his face and then turns it down, stating company policy. I try to convince him to palm it, or I drop it on the ground, but still no. On the way home I decide to celebrate by getting a six pack and of course there is a tip option and by maybe by intention, I have to hit the "no tip" touchscreen more than once, for someone who has offered nothing in the way of service.



Kind of annoys me that I can't recognize and reward someone for their friendly help with more compensation.
