I had a 40th birthday last night and the birthday boy came up right at the start and handed me a £20 tip in "anticipation of a good night" !!!!

Who's going to ask if he came and asked for £30 back at the end then? :sofa:

He must have been rolling in it.
I'm a generous tipper, but I'd never give anyone a tip BEFORE I knew what their service was like!
Defeats the whole object!

Surely a tip before the event is a bribe? :o

:cool: .....£20 eh.....
That means you can get a top up for you phone, get a couple of beers while DJing and sit back and relax......:p
I find it a bit strange but also very nice......:)
Did he come back to you at the end of the night?

I surprised you said he was a lawyer. I expected you to tell us he was a psychic! :D

Hmmm this is all very well, but would you not find this rude. I have always been told to buy people a gesture like a bottle of wine etc, but throwing money at people could be taken offensively? :)

What are you on about Charlie? :confused:
When was the last time you tipped a waiter with a bottle of Chardonnay?
A tip is just that.

Check your spelling Daz. I think you'll find it has an o at the end, not ic. :D :D :D :D

Funny you should bring up spelling, Simon! You wouldn't believe how unconvinced I was with my original spelling (it just didn't look right) so I searched about 5 online dictionaries - and still wasn't convinced even though I was right all along! :eek:

this makes total sense to me
i was once told this little gem. When on holiday, why tip the barman on your last day for looking after you? Tip him on your first day and he will serve you first for the entire holiday!
he may have already been happy with you service, you may have provided good customer service by replying to his enquiry, meeting up with him and showing up on time and looking smart. For some, its the little things that count!
