In response to "I can believe it's an age thing. "Just put it on the card" -- nm" by Qale

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."

Definitely an age thing.

Responses:

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
