So I don't tip when I'm picking up food, Chinese, pizza what have you and I feel no guilt about it, my wife says she always feels guilty for not doing it which means she does and I think she's crazy.

WTF should I tip someone for grabbing my order and using the cash register? A server yup I tip and normally quite well depending on level of service... delivery, yup, did it when i was younger and know that a lot of it is working for tips, but I just can't justify the cashier.

That's my rule. If I have to come up to you, no tip. If you bring stuff to me, then I will tip.

I always tip even when picking stuff up. My wife doesn't even let me go into pay any more because it drives her nuts.

Yeah I'm with you guys.

Sometimes I'll throw in a dollar or two if it's a small shop that I go to often. Li Ao Sushi or Donair Place for example are two places that I like picking up from and both places have the owner working pretty much every time I'm there so I'll throw them a buck or two.

Places like Subway can forget about it.

He seemed like a bit of a rage case.

Yup, this is me. I might drop a loony at a place I am often, if I know the person or owner, but tipping on a pickup is taking it too far I think.

I'm glad no one has mentioned that they don't shower often, with the warmer temps upon us, the c-train is becoming stink-a-palooza every afternoon; today was terrible, BO everywhere

I love my cold showers on a hot day. Anywhere from luke warm to down right cold depending on how I feel. But I always shower. I feel weird if I step out without at least a rinse to get the bed sweat off.

It's the ultra fat dudes that wear a hoodie no matter the heat. We know you're a big guy, it's fine, don't make your sweat and BO worse by covering up the problem.

I'm not a fan of seeing large women letting their arm flaps fly in the summer, but damn they look much more comfortable then their male counterparts.

What I get now is the people who speed ahead of you and cut in at the last second while throwing their hand up in the air, which I am guessing is thanking me preemptively for having to slam on my brakes in order to let them in. I swear it happens on almost a daily basis for me now. Reminds me of:

Just don't get stuck beside some fat dude who has just eaten something that had garlic. The smell is enough to knock a buzzard off a #### wagon!

Sometimes I like to order tonnes of pizzas, over time, until get to be 300lbs; then I stuff myself with garlic and then I stuff myself into layers of clothes, but I top it off with a hoodie and then I get on the C-Train.

I work on the 2nd floor of my office building. I take the elevator up and down from/to the main floor (take the stairs when visiting the 3rd floor for any reason).

I wasn't even aware people tipped for pickup.

If you flight is cancelled and the airline provides a taxi voucher, should you still tip the driver? I'm leaning towards a yes, but at the same time the airline vouchers could include a gratuity.

Spoiler!


The keg is in front. I custom made a keg bag that holds the keg as well as eight bags of ice. It has a drawstring around the top to snug it up against the tap. As the ice melts, the bag contains the water and keeps the keg super cold.
