it's not an age thing for me. i just rarely have cash on hand so the tip goes on the card -- nm - charlie Jan 31, 12:38 6
- To me, getting cash is kind of a hassle. I like doing as much as possible on the check card. -- nm - mara Jan 31, 12:40 5
  - To me paying by debit card is *way* too easy. - Mel Profit Jan 31, 12:45 3
    - *heads to the ATM begrudgingly to get your cash* -- nm - Diva Jan 31, 12:54
    - that makes me think of this: using cash is a frequent (and good) tip for when you're trying to work on finances and get spending down. - b. Jan 31, 12:50
    - I completely agree with this -- nm - prayformojo Jan 31, 12:46
  - this, bascially -- nm - charlie Jan 31, 12:42
I can believe it's an age thing. "Just put it on the card" -- nm - Qale Jan 31, 12:30 31
- I just asked all of the associates who sit near me, the responses were: "I'm not 95." "Who carries cash?" and "No, that's delusional." - MDH Jan 31, 12:33 30
  - so, wait, do they not leave tips for housekeepers at hotels either? doormen/bell staff at hotels? car washes? -- nm - b. Jan 31, 12:46 1
    - Just dining out seems to be the case. -- nm - MDH Jan 31, 12:48
  - i've done both in the past. Does that mean that someday I can hang out with your cool, young undelusional hipster twinks who probably don't eat - Diva Jan 31, 12:39 9
    - First off, ouch. Second off, I said they were coworkers and not friends. - MDH Jan 31, 12:42 7
      - so it's PWC that thinks we're all delusional? well, damn them! - Diva Jan 31, 12:45 6
        
        Heh - MDH Jan 31, 12:47 2
        
        you realize I was kidding, si? - Diva Jan 31, 12:48
        
        Right. Lots of Vandy kids didn't know anything about tipping either, but they also went to PF Chang's for midnight munchies, so... -- nm - TFox Jan 31, 12:48
        
        i should go slap the PWC guy that's up the hall auditing us right now. - TFox Jan 31, 12:46 1
        
        hee. I see our sometimes, too. tempting. -- nm - b. Jan 31, 12:47
        
        oh, is that where he works? - loosilu Jan 31, 12:46
    - if you're buying, sure. -- nm - loosilu Jan 31, 12:41
  - hear that, ST at large? we're not only old, we're delusional! -- nm - b. Jan 31, 12:33 9
    - That sound about right. -- nm - David Jan 31, 12:45
    - Instead of cash, I sometimes tip with kleenex origami and pegasus tears. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jan 31, 12:36
    - I used to work with some interns who did not carry cash. guess who had to lend them cash all the time? - loosilu Jan 31, 12:35 4
      - Just curious, but what % of spending do you pay cash/credit? I keep some cash on me, but never use it. - MDH Jan 31, 12:36 3
        
        I put almost everything on cc's that I pay off each month, for rewards and ease; but I still keep cash for smaller expenses/mom & pop business pur- - b. Jan 31, 12:38
        
        Probably similar. carrying NO cash just seems dumb. -- nm - loosilu Jan 31, 12:37 1
        
        I carry it, but I'd have to worry about replenishing it more often if I tip in cash. -- nm - mara Jan 31, 12:41
    - Hey I didn't say it! :-) -- nm - MDH Jan 31, 12:34 1
      - no, you just said we're straight up lying! -- nm - b. Jan 31, 12:36
  - charmers! -- nm - loosilu Jan 31, 12:33 7
    - I think it comes from a drinking/bar mindset. You start tabs with a card, no cash so this is what they've grown accustomed to. -- nm - MDH Jan 31, 12:35 6
      - "And a place that doesn't take cards? DTM!" -- nm - Qale Jan 31, 12:37 1
        
        oh, yah, that's in the mix, too, now - increasing number of places that don't accept cc's for one reason or another. -- nm - b. Jan 31, 12:40
      - because none of us ever drink at bars. ;P -- nm - loosilu Jan 31, 12:36 3
        
        I meant being an 18 year old at the college bar. :-p -- nm - MDH Jan 31, 12:37 2
        
        so your card matches your fake id? -- nm - loosilu Jan 31, 12:41 1
        
        Haha. Once the doorman let you in, you never showed ID. (Shoot they let people in with anything). - MDH Jan 31, 12:43
know* wow. -- nm - MDH Jan 31, 12:28
