Paid Members FLips Posted February 27, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted February 27, 2017 Â I only tip is the service is really good or I can't be arsed to wait for them to piss about with change. They chose to work wherever they work so it's not up to me to pay their bills. If someone outright asked me for a tip or told me I was expected to tip, it's no more than begging and they'd get fuck all. Â Â What about people who have no choice but to work in a low paying job? Â Â Then like I said, if they provide a really good service I'll tip them, but I'm not tipping people just because they have a low paying job. Â EDIT: Ha, well shit. Yeah it is a bit Mr Pink now you mention it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted February 27, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted February 27, 2017 Buscemi comparisons aside, everything said in that scene is true. It's a shit, hard job, both physically and mentally. Unless the service is shit, you should tip people, because the pay is crap as well. Otherwise you're just a tight arse miserable twat.

Paid Members Teedy Kay Posted February 27, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted February 27, 2017 Dick dick dick dick dick. Â I'll tip everytime, never a percentage or anything like that, but just whack decent change in (no shrapnel). Â If they're a cunt and the service is shit, I'll keep it and check the receipt for a service charge to be removed. Â People don't need to earn my tipping, but they can throw it away if they're cockwombles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Arch Stanton Posted February 27, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted February 27, 2017 The tipping protocol over here is a piece of piss. Minimum 10% at a restaurant, unless the service was absolutely abysmal. Nobody else really expects tips, but I will often leave a little extra change for hairdressers, bar staff and taxi drivers and that is always met with appreciation. Â In the States, it's a bit more of a nightmare. When I went to Vegas I was almost having anxiety attacks over who I was supposed to tip and by how much, all because I didn't want to come across as some sort of ignorant arsehole but at the same time it's an expensive place to go and I'm not made of money. The expected 20% tip in a restaurant is easily understood. It can mount up to a lot of money but at least you know what the score is, it's paying their wages and you do generally get very attentive service. However, in the bars, fast food outlets and taxis that can feel a lot to ask, considering how expensive some things are in the first place and how little 'service' you're actually getting. Telling the barman to keep the change for popping the top off a nine dollar bottle of Coors can leave you feeling like you've been robbed twice. Then there's the nightmare of people offering a service that you didn't even ask for, like those that stand at the front of the taxi rank and will open and close the door of the cab for you. They even insist on asking you where you want to go, then they will tell the driver for you. It's like, fucking hell, I really don't need to pay for this.

Otto Dem Wanz Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 I asked this question on Reddit and the general consensus was:  There's no need to tip fast food workers  You should give a tip between 15-20% of the bill in a restaurant with a 'proper' waiter/waitress, unless you've had terrible service  Bar workers and taxi drivers can be tipped at your discretion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members SpursRiot2012 Posted February 27, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted February 27, 2017 In the US I didn't have an issue tipping anyone. It's the done thing so I got on with it. Plus in a few bars they did this five beers and they'd buy you one so that was cool. Over here, eh. I tip as restaurants unless there's a service charge. I used to tip my barber but I don't anymore because they seemed extremely confused last time and I thought maybe I was being a little insulting. I don't tip taxi drivers because I get Uber everywhere and it's a no cash deal. I would tip food delivery drivers but I haven't had one that's even the slightest bit friendly or delivered within a reasonable time recently. I will offer to buy bar staff a drink or two a night. And of course I heavily tip my heroin dealer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Tommy! Posted March 1, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted March 1, 2017 How many 500mg paracetamol taken together would it take to be considered fatal? Quick research is suggesting 40 to 50, is that right? Â You can only buy them over the counter in a chemist here, none of that convenient corner shop or supermarket business.

Instant or the slow painful death suffered after it destroys your liver?Either to be honest. It's one of those things I've been aware of but never thought about in depth until recently, explaining the "no more than two packets per customer" rule and being told "too many will make your liver hurt" by the chemist just peaked curiosity to know just how many is too many.

Paid Members bAzTNM#1 Posted March 1, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted March 1, 2017 I was shouted at for this when I had my liver and gallbladder problems by the doctor. You're allowed 8 Paracetamol tablets a day. 500mg ones. Not all at once. Paracetamol really fucks up your liver. It fucks it up good and proper too. Â Paracetamol overdose would be a really painful death. Don't do it Tommy. Seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â You'll not feel liver problems until it's too late too. You've probably got some damage, or like me, got a steel proof liver (but I never went over eight a day, but I did it for years.).

Â Â Yeah, I'm sure my liver is not in the best of shape. I have this awful balancing act going on where I'm switching between codeine based painkillers containing paracetamol or ibuprofen in an attempt to mitigate liver damage and stomach damage. I am in the process of getting this sorted, though, at which point I'll go get a liver function test. I do spread it out and taking that many containing paracetamol is unusual, but not that unusual when it's ibuprofen. I've probably been lucky up to now.
